Locked out in Chamblee? Here's what to do
Locked out of your home or apartment
Chamblee has a lot of apartment communities and rental properties. If you’re locked out of your unit at Arium Peachtree, The Maddox, or any of the complexes along Peachtree Boulevard, don’t try to force the door. You’ll damage the frame or lock and end up paying more. Call us, stay safe, and we’ll get you back inside without damage.
If you rent, let your landlord know we can provide documentation for any lock work performed. Learn more about our residential locksmith services.
Locked out of your car
Stuck at the Walmart on Chamblee Tucker Road? At one of the shops along Buford Highway? Our mobile team handles all vehicle makes and models with damage-free entry tools. Your car stays in perfect condition, and you’re back on the road fast.
We also serve drivers who get stranded at the Chamblee MARTA station park-and-ride. Read more about our car lockout service.
Locked out of your business
If you run a restaurant on Buford Highway, a shop in Downtown Chamblee, or an office near I-285, every minute locked out costs you money. We prioritize commercial lockouts and work quickly so you can get back to business. See our full commercial locksmith services.
Residential locksmith services in Chamblee
Chamblee’s housing mix includes older single-family homes in Huntley Hills, newer townhome developments, and dozens of apartment communities. Whatever your living situation, we help you keep your home secure.
Lock installation and upgrades
Whether you need a basic deadbolt or a high-security Medeco system, we handle it. If you just moved in, we strongly recommend rekeying your locks. Previous tenants, old roommates, maintenance staff… you never know who has copies of your keys.
Smart lock installation
Tired of carrying keys? We install and program August, Yale, Schlage Encode, Kwikset Halo, and other smart locks. Great for renters who want convenience without replacing the entire lock (just swap it back when you move out).
Lock repairs
Sticky deadbolts, broken keys jammed in the cylinder, loose door hardware. These problems get worse over time. We fix them before they become emergencies. More details on our door lock repair page.
Key duplication
Need spare keys for a roommate, partner, or dog walker? We cut standard keys on-site. Visit our key duplication page for more info.
Mailbox, patio, and interior door locks
We handle more than just front doors. If you need a lock installed, repaired, or rekeyed anywhere in your home, we can help.
Commercial locksmith services in Chamblee
Chamblee’s business community is diverse. You’ve got restaurants and shops along Buford Highway, offices near Peachtree Boulevard, warehouses near the I-285 corridor, and everything in between. We work with all of them.
Master key systems
If you manage multiple doors or units, a master key system lets you access everything with one key while restricting employee access to specific areas. Ideal for property managers, retail stores, and office buildings.
High-security locks
For businesses handling cash, inventory, or sensitive information, we install commercial-grade locks that resist picking, bumping, and drilling.
Access control systems
Keypad entry, card readers, and electronic locks. We install, program, and service modern access systems for offices, gyms, and retail locations.
Panic bars and exit devices
Fire code requires panic bars on emergency exits. We install and repair push bars to keep your business compliant and your employees safe.
Storefront lock repair and replacement
Glass door locks, aluminum frame hardware, and commercial deadbolts. We repair and replace locks on all types of storefronts.
Business lockouts and rekeying
Locked out before opening? We get it. Employee turnover? We’ll rekey your locks quickly so you don’t have to replace all your hardware.
Automotive locksmith services in Chamblee
Car keys have gotten complicated. Transponders, proximity fobs, push-button start… and dealerships charge a fortune to replace them. We do it faster and cheaper, right where your car is parked.
Car lockouts
Keys locked in the car at Plaza Fiesta? At the gym? In the Kroger parking lot on Chamblee Dunwoody Road? We use damage-free entry tools to get you back in without scratching your door or window frame. Full details on our car lockout page.
Car key replacement
Lost your only key? No problem. We cut and program replacement keys for most makes and models: Toyota, Honda, Ford, Chevy, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, BMW, Mercedes, and more. See our car key replacement services.
Key fob programming
Push-to-start vehicles need proximity fobs. We supply and program replacements on-site, usually in under an hour. Much faster than waiting days at the dealership. Learn more about key fob programming.
Transponder key cutting
Most cars made after 2000 have transponder chips embedded in the key. We cut and program these keys to match your vehicle’s immobilizer system.
Ignition repair
The key won’t turn? Ignition cylinder jammed or worn out? We diagnose and repair ignition problems without towing your car to a shop.
Broken key extraction
If your key snapped off in the door lock or ignition, we extract it safely and cut you a new one on the spot.
