Emergency & Lockouts

How fast can Greenbelt Locksmith get to me?

Most of the time, we're at your door in 20-30 minutes. If you're in Old Greenbelt, near Beltway Plaza, or anywhere in Lanham, we're probably already close by.

Can you unlock my door without damaging it?

Yes. In most cases, we use non-destructive tools to open doors. We only drill when there's no other option - and we'll explain everything first.

Is your emergency service really 24/7?

Absolutely. Greenbelt Locksmith doesn't sleep. Locked out at 3 a.m.? Rainstorm in Lanham? We'll be there.

What should I do while I wait?

If it's safe, wait somewhere well-lit or indoors. We'll give you a real ETA and keep you posted. You won't be left wondering.

Automotive Locksmith

I locked my keys in the car. Can you help?

Yes - and fast. Our auto locksmith techs can open nearly every make and model without damage.

Do you make car keys?

We do. From chipped keys to push-to-start fobs, we handle car key replacement on the spot - even in Frederick or Glen Burnie.

Can Greenbelt Locksmith reprogram a transponder key?

Yes, and we don't need to tow your car anywhere. We'll come to your driveway or parking lot and take care of it.

What about ignition problems?

Stuck key? Car won't start? We repair and replace ignitions too. You don't always need a mechanic for that.

Residential Locksmith

Should I rekey or replace my locks?

If your locks work fine and you just need different keys, rekeying is faster and cheaper. We'll walk you through it.

Can Greenbelt Locksmith install smart locks?

Yes. We install smart locks, keypads, and even keyless entry systems for homes. We'll help you choose what fits your needs best.

What if I just moved in?

Always rekey after moving. You never know who might have a copy of the old keys - pet sitters, contractors, or even a past roommate.

Can you open a locked interior door?

Yes. Whether it's a bathroom or bedroom, we can unlock it without damage. Happens all the time - especially with kids around.

Commercial Locksmith

Do you work with offices and businesses?

Yes. We help offices, storefronts, and buildings across Greenbelt, Potomac, and Odenton. From rekeys to full access control setups, we've done it.

Can Greenbelt Locksmith handle master key systems?

Definitely. If you want one key for multiple locks - or restricted access for certain staff - we can plan and install the right system for you.

Do you repair commercial door hardware?

Yes. Panic bars, door closers, mortise locks - we fix them all. We also stock commercial-grade parts in our vans.

Can you upgrade our security without replacing everything?

Often, yes. We can rekey, reconfigure, or add-on features like keypad locks or digital deadbolts without tearing out your whole setup.

Pricing & Quotes

How much does a locksmith cost in Maryland?

It depends on the service. A basic home lockout might start around $75-120. A car key replacement could range higher, depending on the make. We always give you the price up front - no games.

Do you charge extra at night or on weekends?

We have fair rates for after-hours calls, but we never add surprise fees. Greenbelt Locksmith believes in being transparent - even at 2 a.m.

Do you offer free estimates?

Yes, over the phone or onsite. We'll ask a few questions to give you a quote before we come out.

Can I get a ballpark price before you arrive?

Sure. Tell us your issue, lock type, and location - like "deadbolt in Lanham" or "key fob near Glen Burnie" - and we'll estimate as close as possible.
