Locksmiths
Locksmith and security firm trading since 1984, with a Richmond shop on Shell Road. Work ranges from everyday residential key cutting and rekeying to commercial door hardware, high-security safes and electronic locking systems. Open weekdays only.
Weekdays only is the detail to file away now, because locksmith problems have no respect for a Monday to Friday schedule. Trading since 1984 out of a shop on Shell Road, Silverline is a locksmith and security firm rather than a key-cutting counter. Everyday residential key cutting and rekeying sit at one end of the work, and commercial door hardware, high-security safes and electronic locking systems sit at the other.
The commercial side is what distinguishes a firm like this. Door hardware on a commercial building is a code question as much as a security one, and access control has drifted closer to IT than to traditional locksmithing. If you manage a building, a strata or a small business, that combination is the reason to have a locksmith on file rather than searching for one during an emergency. Rekeying after a staff change or a tenant move-out is the ordinary version of this work, and it costs far less than replacing hardware.
Shell Road runs north to south through East Cambie, along the industrial and light-commercial strip on the eastern side of Richmond, with the Shell Road Trail following part of its length. It is not somewhere you pass through by accident, so plan the trip rather than assuming you will be nearby. Do the boring thing and sort keys out before you need them. Get the spare cut, get the rekey done when you move in, and find out what hardware your building actually uses while nothing is going wrong.

Longer reads from the editor, with the places worth a detour linked inside them.
The Night Market's final season is the loud story. The quieter one: free admission at the Cannery ends Monday, Britannia keeps summer hours through Sunday, and Steveston does sunsets better than anyone.

Nothing on Alexandra Road is a secret. 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.
