So thrilled to have been recommended this locksmith by a friend! My car fob for my Honda Fit came apart, the plastic casing broke and key end is only fastened with one tiny screw which makes it an easy break point. The computer chip inside the key still worked. I was quoted $338 from Honda dealership but went to talk to the professional folks at Gallazin and they made me a new key attached to a new black plastic case for $50! Outstanding service and quality and a happy solution and they are a family business of four generations so how wonderful is all that!! This is the best spot I have found for keys, locks etc. and now our new favourite solution for all things locksmith-like!!

I contacted Gallazin Locksmiths by phone regarding a BMW key issue. They were not able to supply the key or assist with programming, but they were very clear and upfront about this. They still took the time to recommend alternative companies that could help and explained how I could source the key for much less than the BMW dealership. I really appreciated the honest guidance and willingness to help, even over a quick phone call. Great customer service.

It's funny that I've been living in Nanaimo for just about 8 years, yet I've never had the opportunity to make use of this lovely shop's services—until now. Long story short, Gallazin are a long-term fixture of Nanaimo with a full range of lock and key product and services. I came in because I'd broken a small key to a lockbox. Zach helped me find the correct blank. Then, he cut two replacement keys, which worked on the first go-around. I'm grateful for the fast, expert service and strongly recommend Gallazin to all homeowners and anyone seeking professional key duplication.

What excellent service and great value for money. They quoted me over the phone replacement cost for Transponder key. Once there I had two made and 3 PO Box keys. They charged much less for the car keys than I was expecting and checked to make sure they worked. Also I had trouble finding anyone to do the PO Box keys so I was delighted. Very nice person too. Highly recommended!

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you cut car keys and fobs?

They can cut and program many common automotive keys and fobs. If a particular vehicle requires dealer-only programming, they let you know in advance and may suggest alternatives.

Can you rekey locks instead of replacing them?

Yes, rekeying is a routine service and can be a cost-effective way to change which keys work with your existing hardware. Bring in the lock or ask about on-site service options and timing.

Do you make mailbox or small cabinet keys?

Yes, customers often bring mailbox and small lock keys to the shop for duplication. Staff can help identify the correct key blank and verify the fit before you leave.

What are your typical turnaround times?

Simple key cutting is usually done while you wait during business hours. More involved work, such as master keying or certain vehicle keys, may require extra time depending on parts and programming.

How can I get a quote?

Call the shop or stop by with details about your lock or key. They provide straightforward estimates and will explain any variables that could affect price or timing.
