What a Locksmith Costs in Metchosin
A locksmith in Metchosin 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 Metchosin 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 Metchosin calls Everest
Why Metchosin 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, however rural A house on Metchosin Road or a farm at the end of a long gravel drive, the rate is the same and the number on the invoice matches the number quoted on the call.
- Non-destructive entry first Metchosin homes are mostly older rural houses and newer acreage builds, and almost every door lock picks. We drill only when a cylinder or padlock 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. Rural hardware takes rain, mud and salt air all year; if a lock or padlock we fitted starts to stick, we return and correct it free.
Typical Metchosin jobs
Typical Security Work Across Metchosin
From farm gates and barns to acreage homes and workshops,
three jobs we are called to again and again in Metchosin.
Gate, Barn & Outbuilding Padlocks
Farms with a padlock on every gate and a different key for each. Weatherproof, keyed-alike padlocks so one key opens every gate, barn, feed room and pump house on the property.
Keyed-Alike Padlocks
Acreage Home Rekey
Rural homes change hands with keys handed out to neighbours, caretakers and contractors over many years. Every exterior door, garage and workshop rekeyed to one new key.
Same-Day Rekey
Workshop & Studio Security
Detached workshops and studios full of tools are the first target on a quiet rural road. A solid deadbolt, a reinforced strike and a hasp with a shrouded padlock on the big doors.

Locksmith in Metchosin
Locksmith Services in Metchosin
Everest Locksmith is a mobile, BC-licensed locksmith covering all of Metchosin, from the village to the farms and acreages, 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.
Metchosin is rural, and that changes the job. Most calls are not just about the front door: they are about gates, barns, workshops and outbuildings, long driveways with no streetlights, and properties where keys have been shared with neighbours for decades. Pricing is identical to the rest of Greater Victoria; the approach is built for acreages.
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 Metchosin calls are finished in one visit.
Road by road
The Buildings and Locks We See in Metchosin
The job changes with the property. Everest Locksmith works across Metchosin Village, Happy Valley Road, Metchosin Road, William Head Road, Rocky Point Road, Kangaroo Road, Pears Road, Taylor Beach and Witty’s Lagoon, and each has a pattern we see over and over.
- Happy Valley Road and Pears Road — working farms with gates, barns and many padlocks on different keys
- Metchosin Village — older houses and small businesses close to the community hall and school
- William Head Road — acreage homes with long driveways, detached garages and workshops
- Rocky Point Road and Kangaroo Road — remote properties with no streetlights and limited cell coverage
- Witty’s Lagoon and Taylor Beach — waterfront homes where salt air seizes exterior locks
- Hobby farms and studios — outbuildings full of tools and equipment that need more than a cheap padlock
Padlocks are worth naming, because they are the weak point on most Metchosin properties. A cheap padlock rusts shut in one winter and opens with one blow. A shrouded, weatherproof padlock keyed alike to the rest of the property costs a little more and lasts for years.
Getting to your door
Getting to You Across Metchosin
Everest Locksmith dispatches into Metchosin around the clock and gives you a firm ETA on the call rather than a vague promise. On rural roads, the drive is only part of it; finding the right gate in the dark is the rest. Five things worth knowing before you call.
- Tell us what is locked. A house, a gate across the driveway and a barn padlock are three different jobs, and knowing which one means the right tools come with the van.
- Describe the gate or driveway. Many Metchosin addresses sit at the end of long shared drives, and a description of the gate saves the technician driving past it.
- Tell us if the gate is locked too. If the technician cannot get past a locked gate, we need to know before we arrive, not at the bottom of the driveway.
- Give us a landmark, not just an address. Rural numbering is not always obvious from the road, and cell coverage can drop, so agree a meeting point if you will be waiting outside.
- 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 across the whole Westshore. Everest also works Colwood, Langford, the Highlands and View Royal, so a padlock job in Metchosin and a lockout in Royal Bay 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.
