How fast can a locksmith arrive?

Average ETA is 20โ€“40 minutes in metro areas depending on traffic and time of day.

Is it better to rekey or replace locks?

Can a locksmith make a car key without the original?

Do locksmiths install smart locks?

Do I need ID for lockout service?

Does AAA or insurance cover locksmith services?

AAA often covers car lockouts depending on your plan. Some homeowner or renter policies reimburse certain locksmith expenses.

Will unlocking my door damage the lock?

Are rates higher after hours?

Emergency/night/weekend services often include a surcharge. Request a final quote including any afterโ€‘hours fees.
