A Locksmith You Can Actually Trust

Friendly family-run locksmith technician providing honest, professional service to customer

Fast & Friendly Locksmith is a small, family-run mobile locksmith built for one purpose: to help you quickly, respectfully, and honestly when you're stuck.

Most people only call a locksmith in a stressful moment. And too many have dealt with greedy, grumpy, and gouging operators.

We started this business after going through that exact experience ourselves β€” late arrivals, rude service, and inflated prices. We knew there had to be a better way.

So we learned the trade, invested in professional tools, and built a service focused on what we wished we had received: fast response, friendly service, and fair, upfront pricing.

We treat every client like family β€” because earning your trust matters more than making a quick buck.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common questions about our locksmith services.

Do you service all car makes and models?

Yes. We service everything from older standard vehicles to the latest smart-key luxury models (BMW, Mercedes, Tesla, Lexus, etc.). Our professional tools and training cover modern automotive security systems including transponder keys, key fobs, and push-to-start systems.

Can you make a key without the original?

Yes. For vehicles, we can cut and program new keys even if you've lost all originals. For homes, we can extract the lock cylinder and create a new key on-site. We have the tools and expertise to help even when you have no working keys.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept cash, all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover), Venmo, Zelle, and Apple Pay. No payment is required until the job is complete and you're satisfied. We'll never ask for payment upfront.

Do I need to show proof of ownership?

Yes, for security reasons we require proof of ownership or residency. For vehicles, we need your ID and vehicle registration. For homes, we need ID showing your address or documentation proving you live there. This protects everyone and prevents us from helping someone break into a property they don't own.

Should I call you or the dealership for a car key?

We're usually faster and more affordable than dealerships, plus we come to you. Dealerships often require towing your car to them, can take days for parts, and charge premium prices. We arrive with everything needed and can program most keys on-site within an hour. For warranty work or very rare luxury models, the dealership might be necessary, but we'll be honest if that's the case.

What if I just need one house key copied?

For a single basic key copy, we honestly recommend going to your local hardware store or grocery store kioskβ€”it's faster and cheaper than calling a mobile locksmith. We're family-run and care more about earning your trust than making a few dollars on a simple copy. Save our number for lockouts or bigger jobs where we can truly help.

Can you rekey my locks so old keys don't work?

Yes, absolutely. Rekeying is common after moving into a new home, ending a relationship, or losing keys. We can rekey your locks on-site so your existing locks work with new keys, making old keys useless. It's faster and cheaper than replacing all your locks, and we can make all your locks work with one key (keyed alike).
