Keypad and Wi-Fi deadbolts supplied and fitted across Surrey, White Rock, Langley and the Delta municipalities. The prep on your door and the wording in your strata bylaw are both settled before any hardware is ordered.
An older door does not rule out a keypad, and that is worth saying first because it is the reason plenty of Surrey homeowners never ask. The August, Schlage Encode and Kwikset Halo bodies fit the standard bore patterns found in older doors, so a 1960s split-level on one of the English Bluff Road side streets is frequently a straight swap rather than a project. Ladner's village core is the part of the territory to ask about rather than assume, because the heritage houses around Delta Street often still carry a mortise body or skeleton-key hardware. At the other end of the same territory the hardware is already in place. The townhomes and coach homes at Tsawwassen Springs were finished with keypad entry and modern lever-handle sets, so a call from one of those is a replacement or a second door rather than a first fitting.
The bore pattern decides this, and it is a good deal older than the technology that sits in it. Most of the single-storey ranchers and split-levels that make up a large share of Tsawwassen were cut to it, as was much of the detached stock on the English Bluff Road side streets. On a door like that what wants checking is the cylinder currently in the hole rather than the hole itself, and that takes a minute at the door. Ladner is the mixed case: century-old craftsman houses on Chisholm Street and 47A Avenue sit alongside post-war bungalows and 1990s low-rise strata near Ladner Trunk Road, and the older ones are the doors most likely to be on a mortise body rather than a bored one. Where that is what the door turns out to be, the options are set out on the door repair page.
The exception in this territory is rural rather than old. Acreage houses around the historic Port Kells community, out near 96th and 188th where the freight yards give way to older detached stock, carry solid-core doors whose hardware has not come off in fifteen years, and a few of them take a cylinder that nobody around here keeps in stock. Those get identified and ordered in before a visit is booked rather than found halfway through one, which is why the property type is worth mentioning on the first call.
Each of these is part of the installation itself. The items near the top are the ones that decide whether the lock is still behaving itself a year later.
The bands below cover labour and the standard consumables. Hardware is quoted separately against the model, because the spread between an entry-level keypad and a premium unit is far wider than the spread in the labour to hang either one.
| Job type | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Smart deadbolt swap, you supply the lock | $85 – $130 |
| Smart deadbolt supply & install (mid-range lock) | $220 – $380 |
| Smart deadbolt supply & install (premium lock) | $380 – $580 |
| Keypad-only deadbolt install, no Wi-Fi | $80 – $120 |
| Smart lock plus smart handle set | $420 – $700 |
| Commercial-grade smart access (Allegion, ASSA ABLOY) | Quote on site |
Three things decide where a job sits in its band: the model, how many openings are in scope, and whether anything has to be ordered in beforehand. A Tsawwassen Springs unit already running keypad entry sits low in its row. A Port Kells acreage door waiting on a cylinder that had to be brought in sits high in it, and gets a date rather than a same-day slot. You hear the number on the call, and again before anything is unscrewed.
If the lock is already sitting on your kitchen table, reading out the model number beats describing it, because the number carries the backset range and the bore the unit needs. If you have not bought one yet, say what is on the door now and roughly when the place went up.
In a strata, the complex name is what settles the council question before hardware is ordered. Out on an acreage it is the property type that settles whether a cylinder has to come in first. Neither question takes long, and both change the date we are able to offer you.
Before the technician packs up, the override key and any opening you have chosen to leave mechanical get settled onto one cut, where the keyway allows it. It is the thing people wish they had raised afterwards, and raised at the time it adds nothing to the bill.
Clayton Heights produces two smart lock jobs that arrive through a strata council rather than a resident. The first is a fob-integrated deadbolt going onto a suite door in one of the low-rise wood-frame buildings, which is a different install from a battery unit on a townhome front door and is quoted that way. The second is an adjustment to the building master, made at the council's request, alongside the hardware change. Both are scheduled with the strata, so a resident asking about either is usually better served by putting the question to their council first.
Elsewhere in the zone what a council will permit differs from one complex to the next, and the residential locksmith page sets out the positions we run into most across South Surrey, Clayton and Guildford. It is a question worth having answered before a lock is bought rather than after.
The newer townhome and duplex builds along the 168 Street corridor in Fleetwood have been moving toward a combination rather than a single lock: the smart deadbolt on the front entry, and a keyed secondary left on the garage entry. Where the keyways agree that garage key can come onto a cut the household is already carrying. It costs less than putting a second battery unit on a door nobody stands at in the rain, and it means a flat battery never leaves anyone standing outside.
Newton produces the other combination. Keypad retrofits in the townhome complexes there go onto front doors and patio doors both, and which opening gets the keypad is a question the household answers rather than the hardware. Say at booking which openings you want in scope. A second door handled inside the same appointment costs less than booking the same job again later.
Often they do, and it is one of the more common requests in the village. The August, Schlage Encode and Kwikset Halo bodies fit the standard bore patterns found in older doors, which covers most of the ranchers and split-levels through Tsawwassen and a good deal of the newer Ladner stock. The heritage houses around the Delta Street core are the ones worth checking first, because a fair number still run a mortise body, or skeleton-key hardware that no battery deadbolt drops into. What gets looked at is the cylinder and the frame already in place, and you hear which way your door goes before anything is ordered.
Yes. The townhomes and coach homes there already run keypad entry on modern lever-handle sets, so the work is a like-for-like replacement rather than a first fitting. The thing that matters on that kind of job is matching what is already on the rest of the doors, so it is worth telling us what the existing set is when you call.
That deadbolt is part of the building's entry chain rather than a standalone lock, so it is not a drop-in swap for an ordinary battery unit. The low-rise blocks along the 68th and 72nd Avenue corridors carry them, and the upgrade there is an intercom-integrated deadbolt rather than something off a shelf. Mention the intercom when you call, because that is what settles which unit gets ordered.
Usually it is. Where a fob-integrated deadbolt is going in and the council also wants the building master altered, both are hardware changes on the same doors and they are scoped together. It is booked through the strata rather than by an individual owner, and the council gets the work described in writing for its records.
It can. Keypad retrofits in the Newton townhome complexes go onto front doors and patio doors both, so a patio door is an ordinary request here rather than an unusual one. We fit whichever one you nominate, and the second opening does not have to wait for its own appointment if you want both done.
Put the keypad on the opening that changes hands, and bring the rest onto one key behind it. That is the direction the newer Fleetwood builds along 168 Street have been going, and it keeps the ring small without paying for batteries on doors that do not need them. Where the keyway allows, the smart lock's own override key comes onto that same cut, so the one key you carry still opens everything mechanical on the property.
