WHY CAPTAINLOCK IN WEST VANCOUVER

Locked In on a BC Ferry — 25 Minutes to Freedom

A real emergency call: a customer stuck inside a washroom on a BC Ferries vessel, lock jammed. Our technician was on scene within 25 minutes, opened it, and replaced the broken lock on the spot. That’s the kind of call that doesn’t wait for business hours, and we don’t either.

Marine Hardware Fails Differently Than Building Hardware

BC Ferries’ vessels use standard commercial-grade hardware, but constant saltwater and humidity exposure corrodes it far faster than anything in a typical building — salt air is a much more aggressive corrosion environment than regular rain. That means knowing which components need saltwater-resistant replacements versus a standard fix. It’s the same broad skill set as our commercial and industrial work — keypad locks, commercial, residential, and industrial hardware — just applied to a much harsher environment.

Trusted by BC Ferries at Horseshoe Bay

We handle door hardware and locks for BC Ferries — on their vessels and at the Horseshoe Bay terminal itself, right here in West Vancouver.

Government, Police, and School Districts

We work with government facilities, police, and school districts across West Vancouver — alongside strata and property management companies, the same relationships we hold across the North Shore.
