You don't think about locksmiths until you need one. And when you do need one, it's probably not at a great time. Keys locked in the car during daycare drop-off? Moved into a new place and wondering who else might have a copy of your key? Left your office keys in the Uber and now it's 8 p.m. with a filing cabinet you can't open? We've seen it all.
At Locksmith Silver Spring, we live for these moments. Not because we enjoy people panicking (we don't), but because we like solving problems fast, without drama. We're the ones you call when the door won't open, the key won't turn, or your car is just sitting there saying "key not detected". We make those problems go away.
We're not just here to pop a lock and vanish. We're here to fix things, explain things, and make sure it doesn't happen again tomorrow. One lady in Woodside called us three times in a month. The third time, we said: "Hey, maybe it's time to talk about keyless entry?" We installed a keypad, showed her how to use it, and she hasn't locked herself out since. She did call us last week... but only to say thanks.
That's what we mean when we say full-service. It's not just "unlock the door and run". It's advice. Options. Real solutions. And yep - we still show up fast when the oven's on and the door slammed shut behind you.
Locked out of your car at the Shell station on Georgia Ave? Lost your house key at the gym? We get there fast - day or night - and get you back inside without wrecking your lock. Our emergency locksmith service is 24/7, no matter the weather or time of day.
Modern car keys are smarter than ever - and more expensive to replace. We handle transponder key cutting, key fob replacement, and remote programming for most makes and models. Whether your key won't come out of the ignition or you need a new smart fob, we've got you.
Just moved? Lost a key? It's probably time to rekey. We rekey locks on-site so your old keys stop working, and we can upgrade you to better hardware if you're tired of wiggling that sticky lock every morning. We carry all door lock types, from basic deadbolts to digital keypads and fingerprint locks.
From rekeying office suites to master key systems for property managers, we keep Silver Spring businesses running smoothly. We also install panic bars, keypad entry, mailbox locks, and high-security cylinders. Need someone to unlock a jammed file cabinet or replace a desk key? We do that too.
We're 100% mobile. You don't come to us - we come to you. Our locksmith vans are fully equipped to cut keys, rekey locks, program car remotes, and open doors on-site. No waiting rooms. No towing. No nonsense.
It depends. For basic services like a car unlock or rekey, you're usually looking at $75 - $150. Car key replacement or smart lock installation costs more. We always quote you up front - no tricks, no "surcharge surprises" at the end.
Rekeying is almost always cheaper. You keep the same hardware, we just change the key that works. We recommend it for new homeowners, landlords, and anyone who lost a key. Replacing makes sense when the lock is old, broken, or you want a totally new style.
Yes - unless your car is one of those ultra-secure models from the future. Even then, we usually find a way. We use proper tools and techniques so there's no damage. Don't try the coat hanger. It rarely ends well.
It's a car key with a chip inside that talks to your car. Without the chip, the car won't start. If you lose it, you need a locksmith who can program a new one. That's us.

Sure, we want to show up when someone types "locksmith near me" or "car key replacement near me" - but we don't write like robots. We write like people talking to people.
