Common questions

Straight answers before you call.

If you don't see your situation here, give us a ring - we'd rather walk you through it than have you guess.

What hours are you open?

Open daily from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM. We recommend calling as early as possible if you need same-day service.

Where are you located?

We're a mobile locksmith based in Rincon, GA. We come to you across Rincon, Springfield, Guyton, Port Wentworth, Pooler, and the surrounding parts of Effingham County.

Are you a real local locksmith, not a national call center?

Yes. We're a Rincon-based mobile locksmith. The person you talk to is the team you'll see - no dispatch routing to whoever happens to be available across the country.

What kinds of services do you offer?

Three core lines: automotive (car keys, fobs, lockouts, ignition), residential (lockouts, rekey, deadbolts, smart locks), and commercial (rekey, panic bars, door closers, master keys). We also handle smaller jobs like mailbox and file cabinet locks.

Do you make car keys without the original?

For most vehicles, yes. We cut and program replacement keys and fobs on-site for a wide range of domestic and import makes and models. Service requirements vary depending on the vehicle.

Can you replace a key fob?

Yes - including replacement fobs we provide and aftermarket fobs you've purchased. Tell us the part number when you call so we can confirm it's pairable to your vehicle.

How long does a car key replacement take?

Most car key replacements wrap up within a single visit. Programming time varies by vehicle. Service requirements vary depending on the lock, key type, hardware, vehicle, and complexity of the situation.

Will you damage my car door during a lockout?

No. We use non-destructive entry tools designed for modern vehicles. When done properly, the door and weatherstripping stay exactly the way they were before the lockout.

Should I rekey or replace the locks when I move into a new home?

Usually rekey - it's faster and more cost-effective when the existing hardware is in good shape. Replace only when a lock is damaged, badly worn, or you want to upgrade the grade or style.

Can you match all my exterior doors to one key?

Yes, in most cases. As long as the locks are compatible (and most major brands are), we can rekey them to a single key - no more juggling keychains.

Do you install smart locks?

Yes. We can recommend a model that fits your door and routine, install it, and walk you through code setup and basic features. We use models with backup keyed cylinders so a dead battery doesn't lock you out.

What does a deadbolt installation involve?

We install the deadbolt, replace the strike with a heavier one, and use long screws that anchor into the wall framing. That last detail is the single biggest improvement most doors get.

Do you do work for businesses?

Yes - offices, retail, restaurants, warehouses, churches, schools, gyms, salons, contractors. Rekey, panic bars, door closers, master key systems, and standard commercial hardware.

Can you handle a multi-door office rekey?

Yes. Multi-door commercial rekey is routine for us, and we can document the system if it includes master keying.

Do you service panic bars?

Yes - installation, alignment, and repair. We also replace panic bars when they're past their serviceable life.

Can you adjust my door closer?

In many cases, yes. A lot of closer issues are adjustment, not failure. When the closer is leaking hydraulic fluid or rattling internally, replacement is the right move.

Are you a 24-hour locksmith?

No, and we'd rather tell you straight. We're open daily from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Many ads claim 24/7 but really mean a national call center. During our hours, you get a real local technician.

What proof do you need to verify ownership?

An ID matching the address (for a home) or matching the vehicle registration (for a car). For rentals or workplaces, confirmation from the landlord, manager, or owner. It's standard practice for any responsible locksmith.

Do you provide pricing on the website?

We don't post pricing online because the work varies too much to be meaningful. Service requirements vary depending on the lock, key type, hardware, vehicle, and complexity of the situation. Call and we'll talk through what your situation involves.

What service area do you cover?

Rincon, Springfield, Guyton, Port Wentworth, Pooler, and the surrounding parts of Effingham County. Some calls outside that footprint are possible - call and ask.

Can you re-secure my home after a break-in?

Yes. We can replace damaged locks, reinforce strike plates, and rekey the rest of the doors so any keys taken or copied are no longer usable.

How do I get in touch outside of your hours?

You can leave a message and we'll get back to you when we open. For true emergencies outside our hours (like an injured person inside a locked vehicle), call 911 first.
