Emergency Locksmith San Luis Obispo: When You Need Help

Locked out of your car

A locked door can leave you stranded when your keys are inside or unavailable. We provide car lockout service, and you can see the details on our car lockout page.

Locked out of your home

A missing key or a door that will not unlock can stop you from getting inside. We handle house lockouts and can also assist with related residential lock problems; see our house lockout service.

Lost every car key

When you have no working key, we can make a new car key on site. Car key replacement and lost car key service start at $110.

A key breaks or a lock stops working

A broken key or a lock that will not operate can keep a door or vehicle out of reach. We offer broken key extraction and lock repair, with the specific work depending on what has failed.

A business cannot secure or open a door

A business lockout or urgent lock problem can interrupt access to your premises. We provide business lockout service and commercial locksmith work.

A key fob will not work

A fob problem may call for programming, replacement, repair, or a battery change. We offer these services so the work can address the issue you are actually facing.

What Happens During an Emergency Lock Service

  1. Call and describe the problem — Call first and share your location, whether the problem is with a car, home, or business, and what has happened. Mention whether you have any working keys or fobs, because that helps identify whether you need a lockout service, replacement key, or another listed service.
  2. We come to your location — We are a mobile locksmith service, so the work takes place where you are. We serve San Luis Obispo and Central Coast towns within 30 miles, including Santa Maria, Paso Robles, Arroyo Grande, Atascadero, Morro Bay, Grover Beach, and Templeton.
  3. The locksmith checks the issue — The locksmith identifies whether the problem is access, a missing or damaged key, a fob, or a lock that needs attention. That distinction matters: a lockout, a replacement key, and a lock change are different services with different starting prices.
  4. The specific service is completed — The work depends on the problem found, such as getting you through a lockout, making a replacement car key, or repairing or changing a lock. For a lost-car-key situation, we can make a new key on site when all keys are lost.

Emergency Locksmith Pricing for Your Situation

The price depends on the service required and, for a lock change, the hardware. The service call is $29. Car, house, and business lockouts start at $55; car key replacement and lost car keys start at $110; key fob programming starts at $70. Lock rekeying starts at $55 per lock, while a lock change starts at $85 plus hardware.

A damaged key, a nonworking fob, and a lockout call for different work, so describe what is happening when you call and ask about the price for that service. For help finding the right service, you can contact us with your location and the type of lock or key involved.
