Our take: The pick if you need an actual locksmith rather than a fob copy shop, whether that's a house rekey, a stuck safe, or a lockout. It ranks a notch below the top fob specialists on review volume but covers far more ground.

Watch: 5 Best Locksmith Services in Toronto (2026)

How we score

Rating is each shop’s live Google star average. Review volume shows how many customers have rated them, ranked against the other locksmiths and fob shops we looked at in Toronto. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.9 from thousands of reviewers carries more weight than a 5.0 from a couple hundred. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does a locksmith or fob copy cost in Toronto? (2026)

Prices vary by fob technology and whether you need a simple key cut or a full locksmith call-out. Here’s what the shops on this page publish or quote in reviews:

Job	Typical price
Regular fob copy	$20
MF Classic / Saltos fob copy	$35
iClass / SR fob copy	$39 to $45
Cityplace / Concord IR remote	$79
Garage remote duplication	$65 to $75
Key cutting	$5.99 to $18.99
DESFire fob copy	$99

Ranges compiled August 2026 from published pricing on Spare Fob’s website. Full locksmith call-outs (rekeying, lockouts, safe opening) are quoted individually; ask each company for its own written price.

Serving all of Toronto

The shops above cover downtown Toronto and the GTA, including Yorkville, Bay Street, Yonge Street, St Clair, North York and the College Street corridor. Searching for a locksmith or key fob copy near me? Every listing below shows a live phone number and directions so you can find the closest option fast.

What to ask before you hire a locksmith or key shop

Can you read and copy my specific fob type before I pay?
Is the price flat-rate, and does it include tax?
Do you offer a warranty on the copy or the work?
How quickly can you respond to a lockout, and is there an after-hours fee?
Do you need my ID or building authorization for a condo fob copy?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these locksmith services?

We started from locksmiths and key duplication shops in Toronto with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Can I get a condo fob copied without building permission?

Most of the shops here copy fobs directly for residents without going through property management, though some fob technologies are encrypted and harder to duplicate. Call ahead with a photo of your fob to confirm.

Do any of these handle full locksmith work, not just key copies?

TBC Locksmith & Doors covers rekeying, lock installation, safe opening and door repair across Toronto, while the others on this page focus mainly on key and fob duplication.

The bottom line

FobToronto is the safe default for fob and remote copies given its review base and lifetime warranty, while TBC Locksmith & Doors is the call if you need a full locksmith for rekeying or a lockout. Bring a photo of your fob or key when you call so the shop can confirm compatibility first.
