General Locksmith Questions

How much does a locksmith cost in Cincinnati?

It depends on the service, but 24/7 Locksmith Cincinnati keeps pricing fair and upfront - no hidden fees or surprise charges. A simple lockout costs less than a full lock replacement or car key programming, but we'll always give you a quote before we start work.

Can a locksmith rekey my locks, or do I have to replace them?

Rekeying is often cheaper and just as secure - it changes the key that works on your lock without replacing the whole thing. We can do both, and we'll let you know the best option for your situation.

Are you available 24/7 for emergencies?

Absolutely. Lockouts, lost keys, break-in repairs - we handle it all 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays.

How fast can you get to me in an emergency?

We prioritize emergencies, and if you're locked out, we aim to arrive within 20-30 minutes, depending on your location. No long wait times - we get there fast.

Is 24/7 Locksmith Cincinnati licensed and insured?

Yes! We're fully licensed, insured, and experienced. We've been serving Cincinnati for over 20 years, and our reputation speaks for itself.

Car Locksmith FAQs

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

Yes! Our car locksmiths can unlock any vehicle - no damage, no scratches, just quick, professional service.

Can you make a new car key if I lost mine?

Yep! Lost car key replacement is one of our top services. We cut and program new keys on-site, even if you don't have the original.

Can you program a replacement key fob?

Yes, we program key fobs for most makes and models, often way cheaper than a dealership.

What should I do if my key breaks off in the ignition?

Call us. Do NOT try to dig it out yourself - that can make things worse. We extract broken keys safely and can make you a new one on the spot.

What if my key fob battery dies?

Try replacing the battery - most fobs take a standard CR2032 battery. If that doesn't work, we can reprogram your fob or get you a new one.

Home Locksmith FAQs

What should I do if I'm locked out of my house?

First, check all the doors and windows (hey, it happens). If you're still locked out, call 24/7 Locksmith Cincinnati, and we'll get you back inside quickly and without damage.

How can I make my home more secure?

We always recommend:

Should I hide a spare key outside?

Nope. Everyone checks under the doormat, flowerpot, or fake rock. Instead, give a spare key to someone you trust or use a secure lockbox.

Can you install smart locks for home security?

Yes! Smart locks let you unlock your door with a code, app, or even your fingerprint. We install and set them up so you don't get locked out of your own technology.

Business & Commercial Locksmith FAQs

Do you offer locksmith services for businesses?

Yes! We work with local businesses in Cincinnati to upgrade security, install high-security locks, master key systems, and keyless entry.

Can I get a master key system for my business?

Yes! A master key system lets you control who has access to what - employees get access to certain areas, while you have a key to everything.

What should I do if an employee leaves and still has a key?

Call us to rekey the locks ASAP. You don't need to replace them, just change the key that works.

Can you install panic bars on emergency exits?

Yes, we install and repair panic bars and exit devices to keep your business safe and up to code.

Locksmith Security & Safety Tips

What's the difference between rekeying and replacing a lock?

How long does it take to rekey a lock?

Most locks take 15-30 minutes per door.

Can a locksmith open a safe if I forgot the combination?

Yes! We unlock, repair, and reset safes - from personal home safes to heavy-duty business ones.
