(706) 921-9806 — Call NowService Time Guide
All times are on-site after arrival. We come to you anywhere in Gwinnett County.
House Key Duplication
A standard house key copy takes about 5 minutes on our mobile key cutting machine. We carry blanks for most residential lock brands.
Car Key Cutting (No Chip)
Basic car keys without a transponder chip are cut quickly on-site. Older vehicles (pre-2000) often use these simpler keys.
Transponder Car Key (Cut + Program)
Modern car keys have a transponder chip that must be programmed to your vehicle's ECU. We cut and program on-site — no tow to the dealer needed.
Smart Key / Proximity Key Programming
Push-to-start smart keys require specialized programming equipment. We handle most makes and models on-site.
Lock Rekeying (Residential)
Rekeying changes the internal pins of your lock so old keys no longer work. It's the fastest and most affordable way to secure your home after moving in, losing a key, or a breakup.
Lock Replacement
Full lock replacement installs a new deadbolt or knob lock. Recommended when a lock is damaged, outdated, or you want to upgrade to a higher-security lock.
Car Lockout (Unlock Only)
Opening a locked car door is one of our fastest services. Our locksmiths use professional tools that open your car in minutes without any damage.
All Keys Lost (Car)
If you have no working key for your vehicle, we create a new key from scratch using your VIN and specialized equipment. This is more complex but avoids an expensive tow to the dealer.
