I do the work where the car sits: a driveway, a parking lot in town, a lakeside spot in Gimli. There's no tow into the city and no shop visit, and I test the key at your car before I leave.
Before you text — what to know
Selkirk and the Interlake are same-day work. Three things to know:
What you get
Dealer-level access to your make's key system, right at the vehicle.
What it isn't
A separate bill for the drive. Travel is written into the same quote.
One hard line
Car keys only — not house doors, cabins, padlocks, or safes.
The drive north, honestly
Winnipeg to Selkirk — and how far across the Interlake I'll go.
There's no shop near you; there's me, driving up from Winnipeg with everything stocked. Highway 9 runs north past the Perimeter, through Lockport on the Red River, and into Selkirk about half an hour later — then the Interlake opens up toward Gimli and the lake. Here's the drive I actually make, town by town — all of it same day.
Winnipeg — the Perimeter
Start · MBWhere the equipment and I start from. Inside the Perimeter the drive is typically free; north of it a mileage travel charge applies, sized by distance and named in your quote first.
Lockport & St. Andrews
≈20 min · MBOn the Red River, right on the way up Highway 9. A key job at the locks, a boat-launch lot, or a riverside driveway here is about as easy as a town call gets.
Selkirk
≈30–40 min · MBThe main reason I built this page. Lost keys outside the Marine Museum lot, a spare cut in a driveway off Manitoba Avenue, a fob that quit at the mall — Selkirk is the core of what I cover north of the city, and people here already find me.
Stonewall · Gimli · Beausejour
Same day · MBThe wider Interlake — Stonewall northwest on Highway 7, Gimli up the lake, Beausejour east on Highway 44. All same day: text the town for a written quote.
Somewhere else in the Interlake — Teulon, Petersfield, Clandeboye? Text the location; it's same day, quoted in writing before I drive out.
Why people text me from up here
Can you do the whole job in my driveway?
Selkirk and the Interlake have plenty of lock shops that handle houses and businesses — but the chip inside a modern car key is a different job, and the nearest dealer for your make can be a tow and a wait away. The trip that makes sense is the one where I arrive with the cutting and programming kit and you drive away — most often a full set of lost keys rebuilt from scratch.
Everything that travels for a Winnipeg call travels up here too: a spare key cut and programmed before you need it, fob programming for a remote that died, a key cut by decoding the lock when there's no original left, or a plain car lockout when the keys are sitting on the seat. Same skills, same dealer-level access, just a longer driveway to reach.
The boundary that doesn't move with the distance: automotive only. I don't do house doors, cabin locks, padlocks, or safes — not in Winnipeg, not in Selkirk. If the lock isn't on a vehicle, I'll send you to someone who does buildings rather than fake it.
To quote a Selkirk / Interlake trip
- ✓Year / make / model + what's wrong, by text
- ✓Where the car sits — town, address, or lot
- ✓A photo of the VIN and your key, if you still have one
- ✓Written quote back — the work plus any travel, in one number
- ✓Photo ID + ownership proof at the car, then I start
- ✓If the service-call fee applies to an out-of-town visit, you owe $45 + tax plus any mileage shown in your written quote, not the full job price.
Not sure why the VIN helps? Here's what it does and doesn't reveal.
What it costs up here
City prices for the work, honest math for the drive.
The key work itself costs the same as it does across Winnipeg and southern Manitoba — the pricing-page floors don't change because the car is in Selkirk. What's added past the Perimeter is travel — and, if the work lands between 7 p.m. and 5 a.m., a flat $120 after-hours fee on top of the job's regular starting price. Both are written into the quote before I commit to driving.
The work — same as the city
- Lost all keys — transponder / remote-head$280+
- Lost all keys — push-to-start smart key$350+
- Spare / extra key — transponder$90+
- Remote head / flip key$160+
- Proximity smart key$220+
- Key fob programming$90+
- Car lockout (keys locked inside)$120
What gets added
Inside the Perimeter — usually free
Across Winnipeg, the price is the job, not the drive — travel is typically built into the standard price.
Past the Perimeter — mileage
$2 per km past the Perimeter, already in the written quote.
After 7 p.m. — a flat fee
My set hours are 5 a.m.–7 p.m. every day. If the work lands between 7 p.m. and 5 a.m., a flat $120 after-hours fee is added on top of the job's regular starting price, plus tax — named in the same written quote. If it can wait until morning, I'll book you at the regular price instead and say so.
Plus applicable tax
Tax is added to the total and itemized on your receipt. Every cost is in the written quote first.
The number you agree to by text is the number you pay. If you'd rather not send the VIN before booking, that's fine — the quote just comes back as a small range until I see the car.
Check me before you text
A registered business — not a van and a guess.
Anyone can buy a key cutter and drive up the highway. So before you let someone near your car, it's worth knowing who they are. I make that easy: I'm a Winnipeg-registered business, and the record is public — look it up before you ever message me.
Beyond the paperwork, the things that actually protect you: commercial general liability insurance, dealer-level access to manufacturer key and immobilizer data, and a firm rule that I check photo ID against proof of ownership before I cut a single key. More about who I am, and how to spot a locksmith you shouldn't trust.

Selkirk & Interlake questions, answered straight.
The out-of-town ones I actually get. General service questions live on the full FAQ page.
Do you actually drive up to Selkirk?
Yes. Selkirk is close — roughly a 30-to-40-minute drive north on Highway 9. Text me the vehicle, what's wrong, and where it sits, and I'm in Selkirk or the Interlake the same day.
I lost my only key in Selkirk or out at Gimli — can you still make one?
Yes, that's the core of what I do. With no key to copy, I decode the locks at the vehicle, cut a fresh key to that code, and program it to your car through dealer-level access — the same information a dealership would use — so the car starts and locks again. It happens right where the car is parked: a driveway, a lakeside lot in Gimli, a parking stall in town. I need government photo ID and proof you own the vehicle before I cut anything.
How much does it cost compared to Winnipeg, and is there a travel charge?
Same city floors either way: lockout $120, spare key $90+, plus tax — the same pricing page numbers whether the car's in Winnipeg or Selkirk. All-keys-lost starts at $280+ plus tax for most transponder and remote-head keys, or $350+ for a push-to-start smart key. A second key made the same visit costs less than coming back for it later — I put that number in your written quote. What's added out here is travel: $2 per km past the Perimeter, already itemized in the written quote before I ever drive. If the work lands between 7 p.m. and 5 a.m., a flat $120 after-hours fee is added on top of the job's regular starting price, plus tax — named in that same written quote.
Do you cover the whole Interlake — Stonewall, Gimli, Beausejour?
Yes. Selkirk and Lockport are a straight drive up Highway 9, and Stonewall, Gimli and Beausejour are all same day. The mileage travel charge is already in the written number.
Are you a real registered business, or just driving up from the city?
Registered, and you can check before you ever text me. RAXO Locksmiths is a trade name of RAXO Group Inc., a Winnipeg corporation — Corp #10249209, Manitoba Business Name Registry #10259548, both public records. On top of the paperwork: dealer-level access to manufacturer key and immobilizer data, commercial general liability insurance, and a firm rule that I check photo ID against proof of ownership before I cut a single key. Those are the things that actually protect you.
Do you do house lockouts, cabins, or padlocks in Selkirk?
No — automotive only, everywhere I go. No house or cabin doors, no padlocks, no boathouse locks, no safes, in Winnipeg or out in the Interlake. It's the same boundary I keep in the city: if it isn't a car key or a car lockout, it's not my call, and I'll point you to someone who handles building locks rather than pretend it is.
Stuck in Selkirk or the Interlake? Text me for a written quote.
