This is a referral line, not a locksmith. You reach the site owner, who passes your job to an independent local locksmith. Free to you; the locksmith may pay a referral fee.

Mobile — they come to youNot a 24-hour lineAsk for the price first

Read this first

One person answers this phone, and not around the clock. If you get voicemail, leave your name, where the car is, and the make and year. You'll get a call back.

This is not a 24-hour emergency line. If a child or a pet is locked in the car, call 911.

Calling is free. The locksmith quotes the price before any work starts. Too high? Say no.

Where the calls come from

Downtown & Nicollet Mall

Keys locked in the car in a parking ramp on 7th, or a fob dead after the game lets out — downtown lockouts mean ramps, meters, and tow clocks. Tell us which ramp and which level; it's the first thing the locksmith will ask.

Uptown

Street parking around Hennepin and Lagoon and the Chain of Lakes — lockouts here are mostly curbside. In a snow emergency, call before the plow does.

South Minneapolis

Driveway and street lockouts from Powderhorn to Nokomis — plus the classic "started the car to warm it up and it locked itself" January special.

Everywhere between

Northeast, the North Loop, Longfellow, the U — if it's Minneapolis, call. Whether a locksmith can get to you depends on the day. If not, we'll tell you.

What gets handled

Lockouts

Keys inside, trunk lockouts, keys locked in a running car. Ask how they'll get in before they start.

Lost Keys

All keys gone — a mobile locksmith can cut and program a new key on-site for many makes. Ask about yours before you pay for a tow to the dealer.

Fobs & Chips

Fob programming, transponder keys, push-to-start smart keys. Get the locksmith's price, then compare it with the dealer's.

Broken Keys

Snapped in the door or ignition. Say which one when you call.
