We're Alexandria's 24-hour locksmith service, ready to respond right now.
We're based here in Alexandria, not miles away. Our team knows every part of the city - Old Town, Del Ray, Eisenhower Valley, Rosemont, Landmark, and beyond. That means when you call, we send the closest available locksmith to your location right away. No waiting, no middlemen, no excuses. Just fast, professional help when you need it most.
Emergencies are unpredictable. That's why we operate differently. We don't just advertise 24/7 - we actually answer. When you call us at 2 a.m., you won't get a voicemail or a call center somewhere else. You get a real local locksmith who can help immediately.
Every technician is licensed, trained, and equipped with professional tools for residential, commercial, and automotive emergencies. Whether you're locked out of an apartment, lost your car key at a gas station, or can't open your shop before customers arrive, we handle it all.
When we say "emergency locksmith", we mean full-service help for every kind of lock, key, or access issue. Here's what we handle most often:
Locked out of your home? It happens all the time. Maybe you stepped out for a moment and the door closed behind you. Maybe the key snapped or the deadbolt jammed. We can open nearly any lock without damage using professional-grade tools. If the lock is worn out, we can rekey or replace it on the spot to make sure it works smoothly again.
Car key trouble never happens at a good time. Maybe your transponder key isn't working, or your fob battery died. Sometimes you just lock your keys in the trunk. We can help with all of it. We offer on-site car unlocks, key fob battery replacement, and transponder key programming. Even if you've lost your original key completely, we can make a new one using your vehicle's VIN number.
When your office, store, or warehouse won't open, every minute counts. We respond quickly to unlock doors, repair locks after break-ins, or install temporary high-security hardware. If you manage multiple employees, we can rekey the locks so old keys no longer work, restoring full control of access to your property.
It's simple. You call, we respond, and we fix it fast. Here's how it goes step by step:
In most parts of Alexandria, we can arrive in 20 to 40 minutes depending on traffic and time of day. Our vans are already in the area, so you won't wait long.
Yes. We handle everything from traditional deadbolts to electronic and smart locks. We carry tools and training for almost every lock type found in homes, offices, and vehicles across Alexandria.
We always use the safest, least invasive method first. In most cases, we can open the lock without damage. If drilling is required, we explain why and replace the lock immediately after.
That depends on the lock type and situation. A simple lockout usually costs less than a broken key extraction or electronic lock repair. But you'll always know the cost upfront before we start. No hidden charges, ever.
Yes. We can reset codes, repair keypads, replace batteries, and help you regain access to smart or keyless locks. If your electronic lock fails, don't panic - we can open and fix it safely.
A couple in Old Town called us at 1:15 a.m. after their key broke in the front door lock. The nearest locksmith was just ten minutes away. We extracted the broken key, rekeyed the cylinder, and gave them a fresh set before the hour was over.
Another call came from a driver near Landmark who lost his only car key at a shopping center. We arrived, decoded the door lock, cut a new transponder key from the VIN, programmed it, and had him driving again in less than an hour.
We also handled an urgent situation at a small business on King Street after a break-in. The front door lock was forced open. We replaced it immediately with a Medeco high-security lock, rekeyed all interior doors, and installed a temporary alarm system before sunrise. The owner opened on time the next morning.
