We create transponder keys and program remotes for most makes except Volvo, BMW, and newer Mercedes models. Technicians carry specialized tools for all lock types while maintaining strict proof-of-ownership verification.
Residential Locksmith
We provide same-day lockout assistance and rekeying services for homes. Our technicians install Kwikset locks with RX1-restricted keyways and service mortise locks and safes. Pricing starts at $2.50 per key with options for restricted key systems that require homeowner authorization for copies.
Commercial Locksmith
Our commercial division handles office lockouts and installs key control systems for small businesses. We offer combination safe opening and master key systems with owner-controlled access. Technicians implement security upgrades while maintaining strict protocols for business continuity during lock changes.
Key Duplication
We produce standard and high-security keys using laser-cutting technology. The walk-in shop creates duplicates for vehicles, homes, and businesses with immediate turnaround. Proof of ownership documentation is required for automotive keys to ensure security compliance.
Rekeying Services
Our rekeying specialists modify existing locks to work with new keys without replacing hardware. This service applies to residential properties, commercial buildings, and safes. Technicians complete the process on-site, adjusting lock mechanisms to enhance security after key compromises.
