What a Locksmith Costs in Colwood
A locksmith in Colwood costs $89 to $220 for a daytime lockout, $25 to $65 per cylinder to rekey a standard lock, and $180 to $420 for a replacement car key. Everest Locksmith quotes the total on the phone before dispatching, with travel inside Colwood already included. The $69 service call covers coming out and diagnosing the problem, and it comes off the bill as soon as you approve the work. If we cannot do the job, you are not charged at all.

Why Colwood calls Everest
Why Colwood 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 Royal Bay, Triangle Mountain or Colwood Corners, the rate is the same and the number on the invoice matches the number quoted on the call.
- Non-destructive entry first Colwood ranges from 1970s Triangle Mountain split-levels to brand-new Royal Bay townhouses, 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. Homes near the Lagoon and Ocean Boulevard take salt spray straight off the Strait; if something we fitted starts to bind, we return and correct it free.
Typical Colwood jobs
Typical Security Work Across Colwood
From Royal Bay strata handovers to Triangle Mountain upgrades
and Lagoon waterfront homes, three jobs we are called to again and again.
Townhouse Strata Handover Keying
New townhouse complexes where owners take possession in phases. Each unit rekeyed on handover, with mailboxes and storage keyed to match and common doors left to the strata.
Keyed-Alike Set
Split-Level Lock Refresh
Original 1970s and 80s hardware on doors that have been painted over for decades. New deadbolts, strikes reset into solid framing, and every exterior door on one key.
Grade 1 Hardware
Waterfront Hardware Refit
Salt air seizes waterfront locks years early. Replacing corroded deadbolts and patio hardware with finishes that hold up, and realigning sliding doors so they lock without a fight.
Corrosion-Resistant Finish

Locksmith Services in Colwood
Everest Locksmith is a mobile, BC-licensed locksmith covering all of Colwood 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.
Colwood is growing fast at Royal Bay while its older neighbourhoods age into their second and third owners. New townhouse stratas, 1970s split-levels on Triangle Mountain, waterfront homes on the Lagoon and businesses around Colwood Corners all need different hardware. 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 Colwood calls are finished in one visit.

The Buildings and Locks We See in Colwood
The job changes with the street. Everest Locksmith works across Royal Bay, Latoria, Triangle Mountain, Wishart, Colwood Corners, Hatley Park, Sooke Road and the Esquimalt Lagoon, and each has a pattern we see over and over.
- Royal Bay and Latoria — new homes and townhouse stratas where possession-day rekeys are the most common call
- Triangle Mountain — 1970s and 80s split-levels with original locks and hillside driveways
- Wishart and Hatley Park — family homes with garages, side gates and basement suites
- Colwood Corners — new mixed-use buildings with retail at street level and condos above
- Esquimalt Lagoon and Ocean Boulevard — waterfront homes where salt air seizes exterior locks early
- Sooke Road corridor — older houses and small businesses on larger lots
Salt air is worth naming, because Colwood waterfront owners pay for it every few years. A lock that has gone stiff near the Lagoon is usually corroded inside, not broken. We clean and lubricate what can be saved and only quote replacement for hardware that is genuinely finished.
Getting to your door
Getting to You Across Colwood
Everest Locksmith dispatches into Colwood around the clock and gives you a firm ETA on the call rather than a vague promise. What decides arrival time in Colwood is usually the Colwood Crawl and finding the right unit in a new complex. Five things worth knowing before you call.
- Tell us the building type first. A Royal Bay townhouse, a Triangle Mountain house and a condo at Colwood Corners are three different arrival problems.
- Give us the complex name and unit number for townhouses. Royal Bay and Latoria complexes are large, and a block or building number saves real time.
- 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 a cross street or landmark, not just an address. Some newer Royal Bay streets are not yet on every map.
- 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 city line too. Everest also works Langford, Metchosin, View Royal and Esquimalt, so a rekey in Royal Bay and a lockout in Metchosin is one call, not two companies.

What Our Customers Say
Recent reviews from across Greater Victoria
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.
