Editorial Review
Our Take on Rapid Locksmith Ottawa
Rapid Locksmith Ottawa earns its place on the strength of 428 Google reviews at 4.9 and round-the-clock availability, but it is the most car-heavy company here and works from a van rather than a shop. Treat it as a quick-response pick for lockouts and fobs, and agree on price and payment timing before work begins.

Company Background
About Rapid Locksmith Ottawa
Rapid Locksmith Ottawa is the high-volume mobile option on this list, with 4.9 stars from 428 Google reviews and a lettered van that works out of a plaza unit at 1061 Merivale Road, in the Carlington area. We include it as an exception, and the reasons are set out below.
The caveat comes first. Google's review themes lean toward car keys, with key fob replacement, car key programming and key duplication mentioned most often, and the website carries a long run of car brand pages. The company is not car only, though. Its site lists home work (lock changes, deadbolts, rekeying, broken key extraction, keyless and smart lock installation, mailbox locks and safes) and business work (access control, master key systems, high security locks, door closers and operators, office lockouts). It names Schlage, Kwikset, Weiser, Medeco and Mul-T-Lock as the hardware it uses.
The unit at 1061 Merivale Road matches between Google and the website, and so does the phone number, 613-691-8111. The business describes itself as mobile, so treat the address as its base rather than a counter you can walk up to. Google lists it open 24 hours, seven days a week, and the site promises a technician within 15 minutes of your call, a figure we have not tested. The service areas on the site run from Carlington and Westboro to Nepean, Kanata, Orleans, Gloucester, Barrhaven, Stittsville and Vanier.
Reviewers are brief but consistent. Lawrence had keys pre-programmed for his truck at his house, and Kevin called the service quick and friendly. The fair complaint is a one-star review from October 2026, in which Lauren says a rekey job dragged on for five days and she felt pressured to pay before the work was finished. It is one of five one-star ratings among 428, and no owner reply was showing. Rapid Locksmith Ottawa has 4.9 from 428 Google reviews, read 2026-10-29.
Rapid Locksmith Ottawa suits people who need a van at the door quickly, drivers with a lost fob, and landlords or small businesses that want one number for lockouts and rekeying. It suits less well anyone who wants a shop counter or a named technician, because the site shows neither. Ontario does not license locksmiths provincially, so before booking check the business through the Ontario Ministry of Public and Business Service Delivery and ask for its municipal business licence. Ask for a written quote or service call fee up front, photo ID and a marked vehicle at the door, whether the lockout will be non-destructive, and what the warranty covers on parts and labour. Agree on when you pay before the work starts.

Rapid Locksmith Ottawa FAQs
Is Rapid Locksmith Ottawa licensed, and how do I check it?
Ontario does not license locksmiths provincially, so there is no locksmith licence number to look up. Rapid Locksmith's Google profile says it is licensed and insured, but neither Google nor its website gives a number, insurer or trade body. Check the business through the Ontario Ministry of Public and Business Service Delivery, ask for its municipal business licence, and ask for photo ID and proof of insurance when the technician arrives.
Is Rapid Locksmith Ottawa open 24 hours for lockouts?
Yes, Google lists Rapid Locksmith Ottawa as open 24 hours, seven days a week, and the website advertises 24/7 emergency lockout service. It promises a technician within 15 minutes of your call, which we have not tested. Call 613-691-8111 and ask for a price and an arrival time before the van leaves, since the Merivale Road unit is a base and not a counter.
Which parts of Ottawa does Rapid Locksmith Ottawa serve?
The website lists Ottawa, Carlington, Westboro, Nepean, Kanata, Orleans, Gloucester, Barrhaven, Stittsville and Vanier, plus Rockland and nearby towns. The company works from 1061 Merivale Road, Unit C1, and sends mobile technicians. It does not publish warranty terms, so ask for any warranty on parts and labour in writing before work begins.
Is Rapid Locksmith Ottawa licensed and insured?

Ottawa. Coverage is as the business describes it, cross-checked against where its recent documented work is. Confirm your address before scheduling, particularly at the edge of a service area.
Does Rapid Locksmith Ottawa offer emergency service?
