We are hiring for two positions immediately. Read both descriptions carefully and apply only for the role that matches your actual experience.
POSITION 1 — SHOP LOCKSMITH
This is a counter-based position at our Calgary shop. You will be working directly with walk-in customers, cutting keys, servicing hardware, and providing expert security advice across residential, commercial, and automotive applications.
Do not apply for this position unless you have direct experience working inside a locksmith shop or locksmith company. Installing a deadbolt as a handyman, contractor, or maintenance worker does not qualify you. We will verify your background.
What You'll Be Doing:
- Cutting keys across a full range of systems (standard, high-security, transponder, tubular, and more)
- Rekeying, servicing, and repairing mechanical and electronic lock hardware
- Assisting walk-in customers with lockouts, key duplication, and hardware selection
- Advising customers on appropriate security products for their application
- Safe work, master key systems, and access control hardware (an asset)
- Maintaining accurate key records and shop inventory
What We Require:
- Verifiable experience working inside a locksmith shop or company — non-negotiable
- Proficiency with key cutting machines and a broad range of lock brands
- Strong customer service & communication skills — you are the face of the shop
- Completion of a recognized locksmith program is an asset, but proven shop experience carries more weight
POSITION 2 — ROAD TECHNICIAN
This is a mobile field position. You will be dispatched to residential, commercial, and automotive customers across Calgary and surrounding areas in a company-provided vehicle.
The same rule applies — do not apply if you have not worked for a locksmith company. Being a handyman who installs the occasional lock does not make you a locksmith.
What You'll Be Doing:
- Responding to lockouts (residential, commercial, automotive)
- Installing and servicing locks, deadbolts, closers, and electronic access hardware on-site
- Rekeying locks at customer locations
- Representing Always Affordable Locksmiths professionally in the field
- Using our modern dispatch software to manage calls and scheduling efficiently
What We Require:
- Verifiable experience working as a field technician for a locksmith company
- Valid driver's licence with a clean abstract
- Ability to work independently and manage your time in the field
- Strong customer service skills — you will be working directly in people's homes and businesses
- Automotive locksmith experience is an asset
What We Offer — Both Positions
- Health and dental benefits
- Uniforms provided
- Company vehicle provided (road technician position)
- Schedule flexibility — we work with the right person to find hours that work for both sides
- Clear path to lead technician for those who want to grow
- Commission on sales — your expertise is rewarded
- Pay increases tied to performance — the better you do, the more you earn
