Customer Reviews

Trusted by Our Customers

Real Training. Real Precision.

Every technician joins our team with a minimum of two years of industry experience, then completes a two-month, in-house hands-on training program under our founder, Alan Bell supervised by a Red Seal Certified Locksmith. Copying a high-frequency fob or programming a garage remote wrong means a system that doesn’t talk to your building our technicians are trained to get it right the first time.

Why CaptainLock

Upfront Pricing No Surprises

Every fob and remote we duplicate has a real, published price before you even walk in no vague “it depends” until you’re standing at the counter. Most copies take 1 to 5 minutes, done on the spot in our Richmond shop.

A Regular Part of the Week,. Not a Rare Job

We copy fobs and remotes for 5 to 10 buildings a week — a mix of individual condo owners, strata councils, and property managers across Richmond and Vancouver. That steady volume means we’ve likely already worked with a system like yours, whether it’s Keyscan, ICT, or HID.

We'll Tell You When WeCan't Before We Try

Some high-security fobs are encrypted or restricted at a system level, and there’s no way to tell just by looking at one whether it can be duplicated. Rather than guess, we check it in the system first so you’re not paying for an attempt that was never going to work.

Authorized, Licensed, and Trusted by Major Strata

We’re authorized dealers for ICT and HID, and licensed to duplicate, create, and program fobs and access systems not just experienced with them, formally certified. We work with major strata corporations and property managers across the region, including Dwell First Strata, RE/MAX Panda, Luxury First Service, and BC government-supported low-income housing.

We Don't Just Copy Fobs We Build the Systems

We’re also a partner of AK Security, and we don’t stop at duplication. We build building access control systems from the ground up wiring, access control installation, integration with elevators, garage doors, and intercoms, then programming, duplication, and ongoing maintenance.
