Locksmith in Gimli and Winnipeg Beach
We drive up Highway 9 from Winnipeg to Winnipeg Beach, Gimli and the Lake Winnipeg shore around the clock for lockouts, cottage rekeys, car keys and garage doors, and we tell you the drive time on the phone.

Cottage country for more than a century
The railway reached Gimli in 1906 and the shore became Winnipeg's summer getaway; by the 1930s cottages were replacing farmland south of town. Many cottages along this shore are closed up for winter or rented out by the season, which means keys handed to renters, cleaners and family. A rekey between seasons puts all of that behind you.
Two towns on the same highway
Winnipeg Beach, with 1,439 people in 2021, sits where Highway 9 meets Highway 229. Gimli, with 2,345 in town and about 6,500 across the RM, is further north, with Camp Morton about 8 km past it. Tell us which one, and the cottage road or lot number, when you call.
Off-season calls are different
In winter the shore is quiet and a cottage lockout can mean a frozen lock on a building nobody has opened in months. Do not pour hot water on it. Tell us the lock type if you can, and text a photo.
Locked out at the lake, summer or winter
In summer the calls are cottages, rentals and cars at the beach in Gimli or Winnipeg Beach, with the spare key back in Winnipeg. In winter they are frozen locks on closed-up cottages and year-round homes in town. Call or text, tell us the road and lot number, and we tell you when we can be there. Our locked out page has the first steps, including when to call 911 first.
Cottage rekeys between seasons
After a summer of renters, a cleaner and three sets of family keys, nobody knows who can open the door. Rekeying your locks changes the pins in the locks you have, so the old keys stop working and the cottage, the shed and the garage can share one new key.
Car keys and garage doors on the Lake Winnipeg shore
Lost a car key at the beach or the harbour? We cut and program car keys and fobs where the vehicle is, for most makes, and tell you when it is a dealer job. For year-round homes and cottage garages, a broken spring or an opener that will not lift the door is a garage door repair we handle any hour.
Questions from Gimli
- Do you come out to Gimli in winter?
- Yes, any time of year. Call and we give you the timing on the phone.
- Should I rekey a cottage I rent out?
- If renters, cleaners or family have had keys, yes. A rekey keeps your locks and changes the key, and the cottage, the shed and the garage can all go on one new key.
- My key will not turn in a frozen cottage lock. What should I do?
- Do not pour hot water on it; it refreezes deeper. Do not force the key either, or it can snap in the lock. Call or text us a photo.
