Why Speedway Homeowners Choose Strongbox Lock & Safe Co.
Speedway sits at the crossroads of small-town familiarity and big-event chaos. One Tuesday you’re rekeying a ranch home off Main Street for a retired couple who’s lived there since 1987. By Friday, you’re unlocking a rental car in Lot 2 while 300,000 race fans flood the town. We’ve learned both rhythms.
Our technicians know the difference between the post-war bungalows clustered near Allisonville Road and the modest ranches lining Cunningham Road. We’ve replaced Schlage deadbolts that survived three owners but finally succumbed to forty years of Indiana winters. We’ve rekeyed Kwikset knobs for landlords in the Fairfield Heights area who need the job done fast before the next tenant arrives. And we’ve answered 3 a.m. calls from Avon commuters who realized their keys were sitting on the kitchen counter in Speedway.
What brings people back is straightforward: we show ID at the door, we wear uniforms, we quote the full price on the phone, and we put our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. No paperwork to file if something isn’t right - we just come back and fix it. That’s how we’ve operated for over 42 years, and it’s why Speedway homeowners aged 55 and up specifically ask for us by name.
We also honor a permanent 5% discount for seniors and veterans. No gimmicks, no expiration.
Locksmith Services We Offer in Speedway
Residential Locksmith
Speedway’s housing stock - those 1940s-1960s bungalows and ranches - presents a specific set of challenges. Settled doors, worn strike plates, and aging Medeco hardware that needs careful handling. We rekey, repair, and replace with locks matched to your door, not just what’s convenient. Learn more about our Residential Locksmith in Speedway.
Commercial Locksmith
From the small businesses along 16th Street to the seasonal operations that pop up around IMS, we handle master key systems, access control, and after-hours lockouts. Our flat pricing means your invoice matches your quote, even for after-hours calls. Learn more about our Commercial Locksmith in Speedway.
Automotive Locksmith
Race month in Speedway is unlike anywhere else in Indiana. Our automotive team carries the tools to handle lockouts, key fob programming, and ignition repairs across the full spectrum of vehicles filling IMS lots - domestic, import, and fleet. Learn more about our Automotive Locksmith in Speedway.
Lock Installation & Rekey
New hardware or new keys? our Lock Installation & Rekey in Speedway covers Schlage, Yale, Kwikset, and Medeco products, and we rekey existing locks so old keys no longer work. For Speedway’s rental market - especially the pre- and post-500 rush - we keep slots open for same-day rekeying.
Emergency Locksmith
Our 24/7 line rings to a live person, never a menu. Frozen lock at 6 a.m. on a January morning? Lockout at midnight after Carb Day? We answer, we quote, we dispatch. The price quoted is the price on the invoice.

Why Speedway’s Climate & Housing Affect Locksmith Work
Central Indiana’s freeze-thaw cycle is not gentle on Speedway’s older homes. Many were built quickly in the 1940s-1960s to house racing industry workers, with hollow-core doors and basic knob-and-deadbolt setups that weren’t designed to survive seventy years of thermal expansion. Come January, we field a predictable wave of calls: lock cylinders frozen with moisture intrusion, keyways gummed with corrosion, deadbolts that won’t throw because the door frame has shifted another sixteenth of an inch.
The problem intensifies because Speedway has a unusually high number of seasonally occupied or minimally heated properties. When owners leave for Florida or simply keep the thermostat low through February, interior humidity drops, exterior seals crack, and locks that were merely stiff in November seize completely by March. We’ve learned to carry specific lubricants and cylinder extraction tools tuned for this exact housing stock - and we know which bungalows on which blocks are most likely to need us before the thaw.
Then there’s the other season. May in Speedway is locksmithing on a different scale. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s population surge - from roughly 12,000 residents to hundreds of thousands - generates automotive lockout calls across surface lots and infield camping areas that no other Indiana town experiences. Simultaneously, homeowners renting their properties for race month drive a concentrated rekeying cycle: full rekeys the week before the 500, then again the week after. We’ve kept May slots open for this exact pattern since 2013. No other community in our Indianapolis service area has a locksmith calendar this predictable.

FAQs About Locksmith Services in Speedway
Most residential lockouts in Speedway run $89-$145 during business hours, and $129-$185 after hours. Rekeying starts around $19 per cylinder. We quote your exact flat price on the phone before we dispatch, so the invoice matches what you were told. Call (877) 664-8139 for a free estimate.
Yes. We keep technicians positioned for IMS-area calls, especially during race events in May and on major race weekends. Typical arrival time is 20-30 minutes. We answer 24/7, including holidays, and we quote your flat price before the truck rolls.
Rekeying is almost always less expensive - typically $19-$35 per cylinder versus $145-$280 for a new deadbolt with installation. If your existing hardware is sound, rekeying changes which keys work without replacing the lock body. We assess over the phone and recommend honestly. Call (877) 664-8139 to discuss your specific locks.
Speedway’s older housing stock - those 1940s-1960s bungalows - often has minimal weatherstripping and exterior-grade locks exposed to moisture. Central Indiana’s repeated freeze-thaw cycles let water infiltrate the cylinder, then expand and jam the mechanism. Our $89 Seasonal Tune-Up in fall includes protective lubrication that reduces winter failures. If you’re already frozen out, we can open it without damage and advise on prevention.
We offer a permanent 5% discount for seniors and veterans, applied automatically to every service. No coupon needed, no expiration. Combined with our flat-upfront pricing, you’ll know your exact total before we arrive.
