How We Handle Your Locksmith Needs

We operate differently than the “bait-and-switch” operators who quote $19 on the phone and then charge hundreds of dollars once they arrive. We believe in transparency. Here is how we handle a typical service call:

1. The Call: You call (877) 664-8139. A live person answers. You explain your issue, whether it is a lockout, a broken key, or a need to rekey your home. We provide a flat-price quote for the work before we ever leave our shop.
2. The Dispatch: We dispatch a technician. They will arrive in a marked, fully equipped vehicle. They will present their ID before they begin any work.
3. The Assessment: The technician inspects the lock or security issue. If the initial phone quote changes due to a hidden complication, they will inform you of the new price and get your approval before turning a single screw.
4. The Work: We perform the repair or installation. We use premium brands like Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, Abloy, Baldwin, Yale, and Sargent. We clean up our workspace and verify the lock functions perfectly.
5. The Guarantee: Every job is backed by our 90-Day Done Right Promise. This is a written guarantee. If the lock does not function as it should, we come back to fix it at no cost to you. No arguing, no extra paperwork.

FAQs

How fast can you get to me in Virginia Beach?

We typically arrive within 45 to 90 minutes for emergency lockouts, depending on your exact location and current traffic conditions on I-64 or the local thoroughfares. When you call us, we will provide a realistic estimated time of arrival based on where our nearest technician is located. Call (877) 664-8139 for an immediate dispatch.

Do you serve my specific town?

Yes, we serve the entire Virginia Beach area, including Norfolk, Chesapeake, Newport News, East Hampton, Hampton, Portsmouth Heights, Portsmouth, Suffolk, South Suffolk, and Poquoson. If you are within our service radius, we will be there.

Is it cheaper to repair or replace a lock?

In many cases, repairing a lock or rekeying it is more cost-effective than replacing the entire mechanism, provided the hardware is of high quality. If your lock is a high-security model from a brand like Mul-T-Lock or Medeco, we can often service the internal components to restore full function. However, if the lock is damaged beyond repair or has been compromised by a break-in, we will recommend a replacement. We never push for a replacement if a repair will safely do the job. Call (877) 664-8139 for a free second opinion on any written estimate you have received.

Can you handle after-hours calls?

Yes, we provide 24/7 service. Because we are a local company, our phones are answered by a live person at all hours, including nights, weekends, and holidays. If you are locked out at 2:00 AM, you will reach a human who can dispatch help to your location.

A Note on Security and Safety

If you are dealing with a malfunction involving high-tension hardware, such as a commercial door closer, a panic bar, or a high-security lock that has been drilled or tampered with, please do not attempt to force the door open or disassemble the lock yourself. These components are under significant mechanical tension and can cause injury if handled incorrectly. Furthermore, attempting to bypass a high-security lock without the proper tools often results in permanent damage to the door or the frame, which significantly increases the cost of the repair. Allow a trained professional with the correct tools and insurance to handle the situation. We are fully licensed, insured, and bonded, ensuring that your property remains protected throughout the repair process.

When you need a locksmith who values your time and security as much as you do, reach out to us. We have been a fixture in this community for over 42 years, and we intend to be here for many more.
