Why Burnaby keeps calling us back
Why Burnaby Chooses Everest Locksmith
- A licence you can check before we arrive Our BC security worker licence number is #B7554. Verify it with the province while you are still on the phone to us.
- One price list for the whole city Metrotown, Brentwood, Edmonds or the Heights, the rate is the same and the number on the invoice matches the number quoted on the call.
- Non-destructive entry first Burnaby runs from 1960s walk-up cylinders to brand-new tower hardware, and almost all of it picks. We drill only when a cylinder has already failed, and we say so before we start.
- One-year warranty, and we come back Full parts and labour coverage for 365 days. Wet Lower Mainland winters swell doors and bind strikes; if that happens to something we fitted, we return and correct it free.

Locksmith in Burnaby
Locksmith Services in Burnaby
Everest Locksmith is a mobile, BC-licensed locksmith covering every Burnaby neighbourhood 24 hours a day. Emergency lockouts start at $89, rekeying at $25 per cylinder and car keys at $180, and the total is quoted on the phone before a technician leaves for your address.
Burnaby is really three cities stacked together. The tower clusters at Metrotown and Brentwood behave like downtown high-rises, the older streets around Edmonds and the Heights behave like East Vancouver, and Burnaby Mountain is its own problem entirely. Pricing is identical across all of them; the approach is not.
Everything happens from the van, at your door. Keys are cut and cylinders re-pinned on site, so there is nothing to drop off and nothing to collect, and the overwhelming majority of Burnaby calls are finished in one visit.
Neighbourhood by neighbourhood
The Buildings and Locks We See in Burnaby
The job changes with the neighbourhood. Everest Locksmith works across Metrotown, Brentwood, Edmonds, Burnaby Heights, Capitol Hill, Deer Lake, Highgate and Burnaby Mountain, and each has a failure pattern we see over and over.
- Metrotown — dense tower stock where the suite cylinder opens in minutes and the parkade gate is the actual obstacle
- Brentwood — new-build towers over a transit plaza, with fob-controlled mailrooms and parcel lockers the strata controls, not the owner
- Edmonds — 1970s three-storey walk-ups with shared entries and cylinders that have been rekeyed by four different companies
- Burnaby Heights and Capitol Hill — post-war houses on the north slope, many with basement suites and a side door nobody has looked at in a decade
- Deer Lake and Highgate — larger detached homes with four or five exterior doors, where keyed-alike sets save the most money
- Burnaby Mountain and SFU — student housing and hillside townhomes where winter ice and swollen doors stop deadbolts throwing at all
That last one is worth naming, because it costs Burnaby homeowners money every winter. A deadbolt that will not throw is usually a door that has swollen and is binding on the strike, not a lock that has died. It is an alignment fix and we correct it on site rather than selling hardware that was never broken.
Getting to your door
Getting to You Across Burnaby
Everest Locksmith dispatches into Burnaby around the clock and gives you a firm ETA on the call rather than a vague promise. What actually decides how fast a technician reaches your door here is rarely distance. It is the building. Five things worth knowing before you call.
- Tell us the building type first. A Metrotown tower, an Edmonds walk-up and a Capitol Hill house are three different arrival problems, and knowing which one you are saves the technician circling the block.
- Arrange lobby or gate access if you are in a tower. Metrotown and Brentwood buildings will not let a technician past the concierge or the parkade gate without a resident, and that wait is the single biggest delay in the city.
- Say if the car is in an underground parkade. Programming equipment can lose signal below grade, and the car may need to come up to the ramp — a two-minute problem if known in advance.
- Give us the tower name and a cross street. Brentwood and Metrotown have several buildings sharing one address block, and naming the tower removes the ambiguity entirely.
- Have your ID ready, or tell us it is locked inside. Either is fine, but it is a conversation to have on the phone rather than on the doorstep.
Coverage runs past the boundary. Everest also works Vancouver, New Westminster, the Tri-Cities and the North Shore, so a job that crosses a municipal line is one call, not two companies.
Testimonials
What Our Customers Say
Recent reviews from across Vancouver and Metro Vancouver
Locked myself out at about 11pm and someone was at my door quickly. He showed me his licence before he started, quoted $145 on the phone and that is exactly what I paid. Picked it open, no damage to the lock or the door at all.
We manage a 40-unit strata and Everest rekeyed all the common areas onto a restricted keyway. Worked evenings so residents were not disrupted, handed us an actual key register at the end, and invoiced our management company directly. Very easy to deal with.
Lost the only key to my car. Dealership wanted to tow it and quoted over $600 with a four day wait. Everest came to the parking lot, cut and programmed a new smart key on the spot for $260. Took about 40 minutes.
Had every exterior door rekeyed the day we took possession. Four doors all keyed to one key, which I did not know was even an option. Quoted per cylinder up front, arrived when they said, done in just over an hour.
