General Locksmith Questions

How much does a locksmith cost?

It depends on the service and time of day. For basic services like rekeying or house lockouts, costs typically range between $75-$150. Late-night or emergency calls may have additional charges, especially during weekends or holidays. We always aim to give you a quote upfront so there are no surprises.

What is the average wait time for a locksmith?

Our average response time in Tucker and nearby neighborhoods is 20-30 minutes. It could be faster if one of our techs is already in your area. We always try to keep you updated with a live ETA once the dispatch is confirmed.

Can I trust your locksmiths to be licensed and insured?

Absolutely. Every technician on our team is fully licensed, bonded, and insured for your protection. You're trusting us with your home, car, or business - and we take that seriously.

Emergency Locksmith Services

Do you offer 24/7 emergency locksmith help?

Yes, we do. Whether you're locked out at 3 AM or dealing with a broken key on a holiday, our emergency locksmith services are available 24/7. We understand that emergencies don't wait for business hours.

What should I do if I'm locked out of my house?

First, stay calm. Then call us right away. Don't try to break a window - it usually costs more than a professional unlock. Our technician will arrive quickly and use non-destructive methods to get you back inside.

Automotive Locksmith Questions

Can you make a car key without the original?

Yes, we can! If you've lost your only key, our mobile units can create a new one on-site, even for most modern cars. Just make sure you have proper ID and proof of vehicle ownership.

How much does it cost to program a key fob?

Programming a key fob depends on your vehicle make and model. Most jobs fall between $90 and $250. If you're shopping around, make sure you're comparing services that include both cutting and programming.

Do you handle remote start or push-to-start vehicles?

Yes, we handle key fobs and smart keys for push-start cars as well. We keep up with the latest technology, so even if your dealership says "dealer only", give us a call - we might save you a tow and a headache.

Residential Locksmith Questions

Can you change all the locks in my house?

Yes, we can rekey or replace all your home's locks in one visit. Many of our customers choose to do this after moving into a new home or after a roommate change. We can also upgrade your locks to high-security options if needed.

What's the difference between rekeying and replacing a lock?

Rekeying keeps the same hardware but changes the internal pins so old keys no longer work. Replacing involves new hardware and is usually chosen when locks are damaged or outdated. We'll help you decide what's best for your situation.

Can you install smart locks?

Absolutely. We install all major brands of smart locks and can walk you through how to use the app, set up codes, or sync it with your home automation system.

Commercial Locksmith Services

Do you provide locksmith services for businesses?

Yes, we do. From commercial rekeying and access control systems to panic bars and door closers, we help keep your business secure without disrupting your operations.

Can you help with a business lockout?

Of course. If you're locked out of your office or retail space, we'll arrive quickly and get the door open without damage. Business lockouts are more common than people think - and we're ready to help anytime.

What types of commercial properties do you service?

We work with offices, retail stores, warehouses, clinics, churches, and even schools. If it has a door or lock, we can secure it.

More Helpful Tips

Should I try to DIY a lock issue?

We don't recommend it. YouTube makes it look easy, but one slip can damage the lock or door frame, leading to higher repair costs. Save yourself the trouble and let a pro handle it.

Is it worth upgrading to a digital keypad lock?

For many homeowners, yes. Keypad locks are convenient, eliminate the need for spare keys, and let you assign temporary codes to guests or service providers. It's a great upgrade for rental properties too.

Do you serve areas outside Tucker?

Yes! We cover many nearby cities and towns. If you're looking for a locksmith near me, there's a good chance we serve your location. Just give us a call and we'll confirm.
