How do you get to Selkirk?
We come up Highway 9 or 9A from Winnipeg, and cross the Red River at Lockport for the St. Clements side. The drive time depends on where our technician is when you call, so we tell you on the phone, before you agree to anything.

River Road has some of the oldest doors in Manitoba
River Road in St. Andrews still has stone houses from the Red River Settlement, built in the 1850s and 1860s, with older riverside homes around them. Hardware on doors that old is rarely a standard big-box deadbolt, so we look at what is there and rekey it where the lock allows, instead of assuming a replacement.
Lockport is split by the river
Lockport sits on both banks of the Red River at the St. Andrews Lock and Dam. The west side is in the RM of St. Andrews and the east side is in the RM of St. Clements. Tell us which bank you are on when you call, because it changes how we drive in.
Selkirk is a city, not a village
Selkirk counted 10,504 people in the 2021 census, its third census in a row of growth, with the steel mill, the waterfront and the shops on Manitoba Avenue. That means apartments, rentals and businesses as well as houses, so lockouts here are as often a shop or a suite as a family home.
Locked out in Selkirk or St. Andrews
A lockout in Selkirk usually means a house on a side street off Manitoba Avenue, a rental suite, or a car outside a shop. Out in St. Andrews it is more often a riverside home off River Road or a yard in Clandeboye or Petersfield, where the nearest neighbour with a spare key is a drive away. Either way, call or text and tell us the street or the road number. Start at our locked out page if you want the short version of what to do first, including the cases where you call 911 instead of us.
We open most doors without drilling. If a lock does have to be cut, we tell you why and what it costs before we touch it.
Rekeys for Selkirk homes and River Road properties
Bought in Selkirk's newer streets, or took over an older place in St. Andrews? Every key the previous owners handed out still works. Rekeying your locks changes the pins inside the locks you already have so the old keys stop working, and several doors can run on one new key. On the older St. Andrews homes we check the hardware first, because a rekey only makes sense if the lock itself is sound.
Car keys and garage doors from Selkirk to East Selkirk
Lost the only key to a truck parked at the waterfront, or a fob that died in a Selkirk parking lot? We cut and program car keys and fobs where the vehicle is, for most makes, and we tell you on the phone when the dealer is the honest answer. Across the bridge in East Selkirk and up through Lockport, attached and detached garages are part of most properties: a snapped spring, a cable off its drum or an opener that will not respond is a garage door repair call we take around the clock.
Questions from Selkirk
- Do you come out to Selkirk at night?
- Yes. Our lockout line runs around the clock and Selkirk is straight up Highway 9 from Winnipeg. Call and we give you the timing on the phone.
- Which side of Lockport do you cover?
- Both. West Lockport is in the RM of St. Andrews and east Lockport is in the RM of St. Clements. Tell us which side of the dam you are on and we plan the route from there.
- Can you rekey an old house on River Road?
- Often, yes. Many older locks along River Road take a new pin set and a new key. If a cylinder is worn out or an odd size, we show you why and tell you the price of a replacement before any work starts.
