Locksmith Services in Sacramento
Every job starts the same way. You tell us what happened, we come out for a $29 trip fee, and once we have seen the work we give you the price before we start. Here is the work we do across Sacramento County.
Automotive
Car Key Replacement
Lost the only key to your car? A dealership will tow it, keep it overnight, and charge you for the privilege. We cut and program replacement keys on site across Sacramento for most makes built in the last twenty years. That includes transponder keys, laser-cut keys, and high-security blanks. There is a $29 trip fee, and once we have seen the work, we give you the price before we start. If your key turns but the car will not start, that is usually a programming issue rather than a cutting one.
Key Fob Programming
Push-to-start vehicles use a proximity fob that has to be paired to the car's immobilizer, not just cut. We program replacement and spare fobs for most manufacturers on site, including the ones dealers claim can only be done in-house. Bringing a fob you bought online is fine, though we will tell you honestly if it is the wrong part before we charge you anything. A second programmed fob costs a fraction of what an emergency key replacement runs after you have lost the last one.
Car Lockout Service
Keys locked in the car is the call we run most. We use wedge and reach tools designed for the job, which means no broken window and no damaged weather stripping. There is a $29 trip fee, and once we have seen the door, you hear the price before we start. If the key is genuinely lost rather than locked inside, say so when you call, because that is a different job.
Ignition Repair
If your key goes in but will not turn, the problem is usually a worn ignition cylinder rather than the key. Years of weight hanging off a keyring wears the wafers inside until they no longer line up. We repair and replace ignition cylinders on site, and we can rekey the new cylinder to your existing key so you are not carrying two. Forcing a stuck ignition tends to snap the key off inside it, which turns a straightforward repair into a longer one.
Emergency Locksmith
Emergencies do not keep business hours, which is why someone answers this phone at three in the morning. We dispatch across Sacramento County for lockouts, broken keys, and locks that have failed at the worst possible moment. There is a $29 trip fee, and once we have seen the lock, we give you the price before we start.

Residential
House Lockout Service
Locked out of your own house is a bad afternoon, and it gets worse if the person you call starts drilling. Most residential locks open without damage using picks and bypass tools, and that is how we approach every Sacramento house lockout. Drilling is a last resort, not a default. We will ask for proof you live there once we have you inside, which is standard and protects you as much as us. If the lock is already damaged, we can rekey or replace it on the same visit.
Lock Rekeying
Rekeying changes which key opens a lock without replacing the hardware, which makes it far cheaper than a full swap. If you just closed on a house in Sacramento, you have no idea how many copies are out there. Previous owners, contractors, a realtor, a neighbor who watered the plants. Same story after a tenant moves out or a relationship ends. We can rekey every lock in a house to a single key in one visit, which usually costs less than buying two new deadbolts.
Lock Installation & Repair
A deadbolt is only as strong as the strike plate and the screws behind it, which is where most Sacramento break-ins actually fail. We install and repair deadbolts, knobs, smart locks, and door hardware, and we reinforce the strike into the frame stud rather than the jamb trim. If a door is dragging or the bolt no longer lines up, that is usually a frame or hinge problem rather than a lock problem, and we will tell you that instead of selling you hardware you do not need.
24-Hour Locksmith
Open twenty-four hours means exactly that, including weekends, Thanksgiving, and two in the morning on a Tuesday. Lockouts and broken keys don't keep business hours, so our line doesn't either. Call and describe what happened, and we will send a licensed locksmith to you.

Commercial
Commercial Locksmith
A storefront that cannot lock at close is a problem that has to be solved tonight, not Monday. We service commercial hardware across Sacramento including panic bars, closers, mortise locks, storefront cylinders, and access control strikes. Commercial doors also carry code requirements that residential ones do not, particularly around egress, and hardware that blocks exit is a liability long before it is a security question. We can schedule after-hours work so your business is not stopped mid-day.
Master Key Systems
A master key system lets one key open every door while individual keys open only what each person should reach. Useful for apartment buildings, offices, and any property where a manager needs full access and a tenant needs one door. The design matters more than the hardware. A system laid out badly cannot be expanded later without rekeying the whole building. We map the hierarchy first, then cut it, so adding a suite in two years is a single visit.
Safe Locksmith
Forgotten combination, dead electronic keypad, or a safe you inherited with the building. Most safes can be opened without destroying them, and we try that route first. Drilling is sometimes the only option, and when it is we drill in the place the manufacturer intends so the safe can be repaired and put back in service. We also change combinations and replace failed electronic locks. Tell us the make and model on the phone.

The process works the same way anywhere in the county. A lockout in Elk Grove starts exactly like one downtown. If you just bought a place in Folsom, rekeying before the boxes come in is cheap insurance. Push-to-start cars in Roseville get the same on-site fob programming as everywhere else, and a storefront in Rancho Cordova gets the same after-hours scheduling as any other commercial job.
Why People in Sacramento Choose Flat Price Locksmith
Sacramento has no shortage of locksmiths advertising rock-bottom rates online, and no shortage of customers who called one and got a different number once the truck showed up. We built this business the opposite way: a technician sees the work first, then tells you the price before anything begins. That holds whether you're locked out downtown, need a rekey out in Carmichael, or you're stuck on the shoulder near Elk Grove with a key that won't turn. We're licensed, we answer at 2am the same way we answer at 2pm, and with 151 Google reviews at 4.8 stars, a lot of our calls come from someone who used us before or heard about us from a neighbor in Citrus Heights or Rancho Cordova. That kind of repeat business is not something a call center reselling leads can fake.
24/7 Emergency Response
Locked Out in Sacramento? We've Got You, Day or Night
It never happens at a good time. Keys locked in the car in a dark parking lot, the front door swinging shut behind you in the middle of a Sacramento summer, a key snapping off in the office lock right before opening. In the moment it's tempting to force it, or to call the first number that shows up in a search.
Hold off on both. Forcing a door or lock usually turns a simple lockout into a costly repair, and plenty of online locksmith ads are lead brokers that quote a low number and raise it once the truck arrives. Call us instead: a real person answers, a licensed locksmith heads your way, and you hear the price for the job once we have seen the work, before a tool comes out. We'll get you back in without damage and back to your day.
- A real person answers, 24/7
- Price given on-site before any work begins
- Damage-free entry whenever possible

What Sacramento customers say
151 Google reviews, 4.8 stars average. Here are a few, unedited.
automotive
My fob broke and my car would not start. I called thinking I'd fried it, but Allan walked me through finding the small chip inside the housing and holding it near the ignition. The car started right there. AAA had already given up and had my car towed, so this saved the day. Really appreciated him walking me through it over the phone.
residential
I contacted others and got no return calls. He answered when I called and installed a new lock the same day, no weeks-long wait. Fast, professional, and the price was excellent. I'd use him again.

On time, convenient, and professional. Kind and well priced too. I was able to keep working while he programmed my key fob right in his vehicle. Thank you!
emergency
My granddaughter was stranded and stressed, and Allan got her out of it quickly and kindly. He did exactly what he promised. Changed the course of her day. Very grateful.
automotive
My key broke off my fob and I needed a replacement fast before school. Allan was straightforward, gave me a great price, and had a brand new key ready within an hour. I hadn't wanted to buy a whole new set since my remote still worked, and he sorted it out. Would recommend him to anyone in the same spot.
