Locksmith Services in UBC and the University Endowment Lands
Everest Locksmith is a mobile, BC-licensed locksmith covering UBC, Wesbrook Village and Point Grey 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.
The peninsula is two worlds a few minutes apart. Campus and Wesbrook Village are institutional and strata-managed, with hardware that belongs to a building rather than a person. Point Grey and Dunbar are large character homes on tree-lined streets, privately owned and privately keyed. Pricing is identical across both; 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 calls out here are finished in one visit.
Neighbourhood by neighbourhood
The Buildings and Locks We See in UBC and the University Endowment Lands
The job changes sharply between campus and the neighbourhoods around it. Everest Locksmith works across the UBC campus, Wesbrook Village, the University Endowment Lands, Point Grey, West Point Grey and Dunbar.
- UBC campus residences — suite cylinders that belong to the university, so the request goes through building management rather than the resident
- Wesbrook Village — newer mid-rise apartments over ground-floor retail, with mailrooms and parcel lockers the strata controls
- University Endowment Lands — large detached homes under heavy tree cover, where damp seizes exterior cylinders long before they wear out
- Point Grey and West Point Grey — character homes with original fir and mahogany doors, where the hardware is fine and the cost of getting it wrong is a split panel
- Dunbar — post-war family homes where wet winters swell wooden doors until the deadbolt will not throw at all
- Across the peninsula — student turnover in September and April drives a rekeying peak nowhere else in the city sees
That last point matters if you rent out a suite here. The tenancy cycle on the peninsula is sharp and predictable, and a rekey between tenants costs $25 to $45 a cylinder against the open-ended risk of a key you never got back. Booked in advance in August it is routine work at daytime rates.
Getting to your door
Getting to You Across UBC and the University Endowment Lands
Everest Locksmith dispatches to UBC and Point Grey around the clock and gives you a firm ETA on the call rather than a vague promise. Campus is the one place where access, not distance, decides everything. Five things worth knowing before you call.
- Say whether you are on campus or off it. A campus residence, a Wesbrook Village apartment and a Point Grey house are three completely different access problems.
- For a campus residence, contact building management first. University suite hardware belongs to UBC, not to the resident, and we work through the building rather than around it.
- Arrange lobby access if you are in Wesbrook Village. Those buildings need a resident or a concierge to let a technician in, and that wait is the biggest delay out here.
- 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.
- 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, Richmond and the North Shore, so a job that crosses a municipal line is one call, not two companies.

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.
