Locksmith in Oakbank and Springfield
We drive out from Winnipeg to Oakbank, Dugald, Anola and the rest of Springfield at any hour for lockouts, rekeys, car keys and garage doors, and you approve the price before we start.
How do you get to Oakbank?
We come out on Garven Road or Dugald Road from Winnipeg. The drive time depends on where our technician is when you call, and Anola is further out than Oakbank, so we tell you on the phone.

Manitoba's biggest unincorporated community
Oakbank has about 5,000 people, which makes it the largest unincorporated community in Manitoba, and the RM of Springfield around it had 16,142 people in 2021. Several approved subdivisions are being built in phases as water and sewer reach them, so new houses keep arriving with builder keys still out there.
Garven Road commuters
PR 213, Garven Road, is the busy commuter route linking Winnipeg with Oakbank, Hazelridge and Cooks Creek. A lost car key usually shows up at work in the city with the spare at home in Springfield, or the other way round, which is why we cut and program keys where the car is.
Old Springfield and new Springfield
Springfield and Sunnyside, now Dugald, joined in 1873 to form Manitoba's first municipality. Older farmhouses around Dugald and Cooks Creek sit next to new streets in Oakbank, so one call can be a worn lock from decades ago and the next a builder's lock a month old.
Locked out in Oakbank, Dugald or Anola
In Oakbank the call is usually a house on one of the newer streets or a car outside a business on Main Street. Out toward Anola, Hazelridge and Cooks Creek it is a farmhouse or acreage, where the spare key is with a neighbour two miles away. Call or text, give us the address or road number, and we tell you when we can be there. Our locked out page has the first steps, including when to call 911 first.
Rekeys for new Oakbank streets and older Springfield homes
Rekeying your locks changes the pins in the locks you have, so every old key stops working and several doors can share one new key. In the new Oakbank phases it shuts out the builder's keys; in an older Dugald farmhouse we check the hardware first and tell you honestly if a lock is past rekeying.
Car keys for Garven Road commuters, and garage doors at home
We cut and program car keys and fobs at the vehicle, whether that is a Winnipeg parkade or a driveway in Hazelridge, for most makes, and tell you when it is a dealer job. At home, Springfield's attached garages, shops and detached garages all have overhead doors, and a broken spring, a slipped cable or a dead opener is a garage door repair we handle any hour.
Questions from Oakbank
- Do you come out to Anola and Cooks Creek, or only Oakbank?
- The whole RM, including Anola, Hazelridge, Dugald and Cooks Creek. The further east, the longer the drive, so we tell you on the phone how long before you agree.
- My car key is lost in Winnipeg and the spare is in Oakbank. What now?
- Either we make a new key where the car is, or someone brings the spare. We tell you on the phone which is quicker and what a new key involves for your make and year.
- Can you rekey a new house in one of the Oakbank subdivisions?
- Yes. A rekey keeps your new locks and changes the key, so the builder's and trades' keys stop working. We can put every door on one key.
