Directories tend to imply more than they know. Here is exactly what a badge on this site means — and what it doesn’t.
We look up the registration number in the provincial corporate registry and record whether the company exists and is in good standing. Re-run monthly.
Nothing publishes until someone clicks a confirmation link sent to the address on the listing. Unconfirmed listings show no phone number and no request form.
Alberta, British Columbia and Quebec license locksmiths — the only three in Canada. In Quebec we check the public BSP register. In Alberta and British Columbia the business supplies its licence number and we record that it was supplied, and in British Columbia we ask for both the business licence and the individual worker licence.
Every listing carries the date the business last updated it. Anything older than 90 days is flagged on the card so you know to confirm on the phone.
Fee ranges are entered by the business. We publish them with a date attached and nothing more. They are a guide for the phone call, not a quote.
A registry badge means the company legally exists. It says nothing about whether the job will be done well. Ratings come from customers, not from us.
Organic results are never reordered by payment. Sponsored placements appear in a separate, clearly labelled block. Paying never changes what a badge says.
No commission, no per-lead fee. Requests go straight to the business. We are not part of the transaction and never see what you pay.
Locksmiths Canada is an information directory. We do not perform, supervise or guarantee any work, and we are not a party to any agreement between you and a business.
