Why New Westminster keeps calling us back
Why New Westminster 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 Uptown, Downtown, Sapperton or Queensborough, the rate is the same and the number on the invoice matches the number quoted on the call.
- Non-destructive entry first New Westminster has the oldest building stock in the Lower Mainland, and an original door is worth far more than the cylinder in it. We pick and bypass wherever the lock allows, and we say so before we drill anything.
- One-year warranty, and we come back Full parts and labour coverage for 365 days. Old doors on a river-facing hill move with the seasons; if something we fitted starts binding inside the year, we return and correct it free.

Locksmith in New Westminster
Locksmith Services in New Westminster
Everest Locksmith is a mobile, BC-licensed locksmith covering every New Westminster 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.
New Westminster is the oldest city in the province and it shows in the locks. Downtown carries converted heritage buildings with hardware three owners deep, Uptown runs 1960s and 70s apartment blocks, and Queensborough across the bridge is almost entirely new townhome stock. 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 New Westminster calls are finished in one visit.
Neighbourhood by neighbourhood
The Buildings and Locks We See in New Westminster
The job changes with the neighbourhood. Everest Locksmith works across Uptown, Downtown, Sapperton, the West End, Quayside, Queensborough, Glenbrooke North and Connaught Heights, and each has a failure pattern we see over and over.
- Uptown and Sixth Street — small retail units with shared rear corridors, where a tenancy change means a rekey nobody has records for
- Downtown and Columbia Street — converted heritage brick buildings with mixed hardware and no key register at all
- Quayside — riverfront towers with fob-controlled lobbies and parkades the strata controls, not the owner
- Sapperton — older houses on the hill above the hospital, many with basement suites and a side entry nobody thinks about
- Queensborough — newer townhome rows on flat riverside streets, usually still on their builder-grade construction keying
- Glenbrooke North and Connaught Heights — character homes on steep streets where doors swell through a wet winter and deadbolts stop throwing
Queensborough is worth naming on its own. A lot of those townhomes are still on the keys handed over at completion, which means the builder, the trades and everyone who held a construction key can technically still get in. Rekeying a new-build is the cheapest security decision an owner there can make.
Getting to your door
Getting to You Across New Westminster
Everest Locksmith dispatches into New Westminster 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 and the hill. Five things worth knowing before you call.
- Tell us the building type first. A Downtown heritage suite, a Quayside tower and a Queensborough townhome are three different arrival problems, and knowing which one you are saves the technician circling the block.
- Say if you are across the bridge. Queensborough is a separate run from the rest of the city and it changes the ETA we can commit to on the call.
- Arrange lobby access if you are in a Quayside tower. Riverfront buildings will not let a technician past the concierge 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.
- 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 Burnaby, the Tri-Cities and Surrey and Delta, 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.
