Mobile locksmith in New Westminster.

An older door does not always need a new handle.

For an older New Westminster home, the first question is what has failed. A key problem, worn cylinder and misaligned bolt are different issues. Explain whether the door closes properly, whether the key still turns and which parts you hope to retain.

Queen’s Park has a heritage conservation area. If your property is protected, check applicable requirements before changing original doors or visible hardware. We can discuss repair, rekeying or replacement based on the actual lock, rather than assuming everything must be replaced.

Queen’s Park heritage information

Moving into a suite? Separate private and shared access.

List the keys and fobs you received, including the suite door, mailbox and any shared building access. A suite-door rekey does not update the building’s fob system. Ask the property manager which items they manage and what approval is needed before changing hardware.

If you are locked out, tell us whether you can already enter the building. That helps distinguish assistance at your front door from a shared-access issue.
