What I do

If it's locked, I'll open it

Over the years I've seen it all. Whatever you need — I know how to help.

Locked out?

Classic case — and the chances of it happening at 3 AM are higher than you'd think. I arrive fast, open without scratches, never inflate the price.

Let's talk about it

Lock replacement

After a break-in? Just moved? Need an upgrade? I install quality locks from the leading brands — professional installation, full warranty.

Key duplication

I have hundreds of key blanks in my workshop, including the specialty ones. Bring it in, I'll cut it for you — and we'll have a chat about the story behind it.

How it works

Car lockouts

Keys locked inside? It happens — and it's totally fine. I handle every type of car, including the new ones with smart fobs.

Let me help

Safe opening

Forgot the code? Lost the key? I have the equipment, the patience, and the experience to open without damage. Even old vintage safes.

Smart locks

Want a smarter home? I install biometric and digital locks — and teach you how to use them without the headaches.

Let's explore
A quick intro

Let's start from the beginning.

My name is Mike, and I've been a locksmith for the last 26 years. I started as my dad's helper in a small workshop downtown, and grew up loving the craft.

What I love most is meeting people in their most stressful moment, and getting them out of it with a smile. I'm not the cheapest guy out there, but I'm not the most expensive either — I'm fair. And that's what matters to me.

If you call right now, chances are you'll hear me pick up. That's by design.

What the neighbors say

I'm not the one writing these

These are real people I've helped, who took the time to write.

Mike saved my night. I locked myself out at 2 AM holding a baby. He arrived in 18 minutes, opened the door gently, and even gave me tips for next time. A real hero.

My dad recommended Mike 15 years ago, and I've moved 4 times since. Every single time, Mike showed up, replaced locks, and helped out. Human, professional, and always fair pricing.

There was an explosion next door and our hinge and door frame got destroyed. Mike came, replaced everything, and when he saw we were retirees on a fixed income, he lowered his price. People like him are gold.

Questions I hear a lot

I'll answer honestly

How much does it cost?
Depends on what's needed. Basic lockout starts at $75–125, lock replacement $150–300. I'll tell you the price before I start working — no surprises.
How long until you arrive?
In the metro area — usually 15–25 minutes. At night I'm often faster because there's no traffic. Just call — I'll tell you exactly.
What if I call in the middle of the night?
Call. I'll answer. Yes, even at 4 AM. That's part of the job.
Do you accept credit cards?
Yes — credit, Venmo, Zelle, Apple Pay, cash. I provide a proper receipt for every job.

Locked out? Just call.

I'm answering the phone right now. No menus, no hold music, no robots. Just me.
