"Nice kid. Not sure that he’s a true locksmith but he is learning!! He left all of his mess from drilling holes in my door. That’s why I called him a nice kid. The work seems to be fine but he showed up in a random unmarked car, didn’t appear neat or professional. I think he will figure it out. He has the skills."

"After calling several companies that said they would be several hours from the call, this company was able to be there quicker than the others. My daughter had locked herself out of the house and needed to get back in and we were not around to help her so we called this locksmith. He did the job quickly and my daughter was able to get on with her day. Thanks for being honest, quick, and reliable.

"Easy to make an appointment for a service call to have locks re-keyed. Technician arrived within given time, was extremely courteous and even fixed the bad installation of one lock. Forgot to mention Angie's list for a discount but will definitely use them again."

"I called Annandale Lock and Key Service to do lock-work at my rental property after my tenant?s key was stolen along with her wallet, which had items that ID?d her address.  It was imperative that the lock be re-keyed as soon as possible to prevent a possible burglary.
Chris found time to come the very day I called, and arrived on time.  He began work and soon discovered that the previous owner of my condo had damaged the lock.  Re-keying became a daunting process, requiring (I?m told by my tenant) approximately an hour and a half.    It was clear Chris fully understood how important it was to have the lock working with new keys before he left that evening.   Ultimately, his doggedness paid off, and he was successful.   Sorry ? can?t explain the issues involved, beyond a broken pin, but perhaps the age of the building and lock was a factor (40 yrs. old?).   At any rate, I felt very fortunate to get the job done with a charge for only a service call and a cylinder replacement.   Chris supplied new keys at no charge, and gave me my 10 % senior discount, which I much appreciated.  
I would definitely use Chris?s services again and will happily recommend him to others.

"Excellent locksmith company! The response time was really fast! We set up a time to come out to change the exterior door locks on my new home. He did a fantastic job! The work was very clean and neat. He was thorough and explained everything. He was in and out within a reasonable time and was very respectful. Everything works great! I'd recommend this company to anyone looking for locksmith services in the area."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on lock type, service complexity, labor, emergency availability, and whether security system integration is needed.

Yes, you should always change your locks after buying a house. Do so as soon as possible after you move in. Otherwise, you won’t know who has working keys to the property, whether they’re spare keys or otherwise. If an intruder gains access to your house with a key, it may not be covered under your homeowners insurance.

When you take a key to a hardware store or a locksmith for copying, you can expect the key-cutting process to take as little as 30 seconds. The key copier will review your current key to decide on the correct blank. Then, your original key and the blank are inserted into a key duplication machine to cut an exact key copy. When it’s all said and done, you can have a new key in your hand in just a couple of minutes.

Security systems are one of the measures that deter burglars the most. Research suggests most burglars look for signs of a security system before going in, although the presence of a security system doesn’t automatically mean they won’t enter the home. However, a security system with cameras can decrease the chance of a burglary overall.

The cost to hire a locksmith varies depending on the service you need. Consult your locksmith about the price of your requested services before hiring for your repair or installation. Some of the most common types of locksmith services include:

  • Installing deadbolts: $40–$75

  • Rekeying: $80–$160

  • Unlocking your house: $65–$180

  • Changing locks: $50–$200

  • Installing electronic locks: $50–$500

  • Installing smart locks: $200–$800

  • Keyless locks: $50–$300
