Locksmiths in Manitoba

We are building this province now. Manitoba does not license locksmiths, so what we check here is the corporate registry — whether the company is registered and active.

No Manitoba city is live yet

A city goes live only once its page carries copy written for that city and at least one business has confirmed its details. We would rather show you nothing than a page of padding.

Manitoba does not license locksmiths as a trade. There is no provincial licence, no registrar and no public licence number, so a Winnipeg locksmith telling you they are not licensed is describing the law rather than admitting to something. There is simply nothing here to be licensed for.

That does not put a locksmith outside the law. A locksmith business in Manitoba still has to be registered, and still has to follow the consumer-protection legislation the province administers, which is the route for a bill that does not match the quote.

What we check instead is the company. Every Manitoba business listed here is matched to the Manitoba Companies Office, and the registration together with the date we last confirmed it was active is printed on the profile rather than hidden behind a badge. We re-check monthly. If a registration lapses, the listing says so.

The second check is the one no registry runs: the call-out fee. A business only gets its phone number shown here after it states the range it works in and lets us print the date it said so. No range, no number. That rule does not change from province to province.

Common questions

Do locksmiths need a licence in Manitoba?
Manitoba does not license locksmiths as a trade. A locksmith here is an ordinary registered business and nothing more. Only Alberta, British Columbia and Quebec license locksmiths in Canada. Everywhere else the company registration is the strongest public record, and it is the one we check.
How do I check a locksmith in Manitoba is legitimate?
With no licence to look up, check that the business is registered and active with the Manitoba Companies Office, that it will give you a call-out fee before it sets off, and that it will put anything larger than a lockout in writing. We match every listing here to the registry and print the date we last confirmed it.
How much does a locksmith cost in Manitoba?
There is no regulated rate and no maximum. The call-out fee is what a business charges to attend, before the job itself is priced, and it usually rises after hours. Every listing here that shows a phone number has stated its range and the date it stated it. We publish ranges rather than exact prices, because no locksmith can quote a lock they have not seen.
