Two kinds of call dominate. The first is the tower and townhouse trade: fob and key-card systems, mailbox locks, common-door hardware and strata rekeys across City Centre, Brighouse, McLennan and West Cambie, where a lost fob is a building-wide question rather than a personal one.
The second is everything else: house lockouts, rekeying after a move or a tenancy change, deadbolt and smart-lock installation, car keys and transponder programming, safes, and commercial hardware for the retail units along No. 3 Road and the warehouses behind Bridgeport. Because the island is flat and compact, a mobile locksmith can usually reach any address within twenty minutes. Listings note service area, hours and whether emergency callouts are covered.

Guides and roundups written for Richmond, with the businesses linked inline.
Nothing on Alexandra Road is a hidden gem. It is just in a strip mall with bad signage and no patio, which is why visitors never find it. Here is how I actually use Richmond's plazas and food courts, which specialists are worth the drive, and when not to bother.
The West Dyke Trail is about five and a half kilometres of flat gravel between Terra Nova Rural Park and Garry Point, and I ride it most mornings. Here is what is actually at the north end, which way to walk so the wind is on your side, and why winter is the better season for it.
I live four blocks off Moncton Street, so this is the Steveston I actually use: where to park before the Bayview lots fill, how to buy fish straight off the boats at the wharf, the honest answer to the Pajo's versus Dave's question, and why the history here is not decoration.
