Locksmith Sacramento - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

We get it - nobody really thinks about locksmiths until they absolutely need one. And when that moment hits, you have questions. A lot of them. Whether you're locked out, need better security, or just want to know the ins and outs of locks, keys, and home safety, Locksmith Sacramento has got your back.

Below, we've gathered the most asked, most searched, and most voice-commanded locksmith questions in Sacramento - along with clear, straight-up answers from the pros.

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

Step one: Don't panic. Step two: Call Locksmith Sacramento. We specialize in fast, damage-free entry, getting you back inside without breaking anything. Trying to force the lock yourself could cost you way more in repairs.

Pro Tip: Consider a keyless entry system if this happens often.

Can a locksmith help if I lose my car keys?

Absolutely. Locksmith Sacramento can cut and program new car keys, even if you have zero copies left. We handle everything from basic metal keys to high-tech transponder and push-to-start fobs - without the dealership headaches.

How long does it take for a locksmith to arrive in an emergency?

We're fast. Typically, 15-30 minutes in Sacramento and surrounding areas. Middle of the night? Still fast. We don't leave people stranded.

Are locksmiths available 24/7 in Sacramento?

Yes. Locksmith Sacramento is open 24/7, every single day - because lockouts and emergencies don't wait for business hours.

How much does it typically cost to hire a locksmith in Sacramento?

It depends on the service. A basic lockout usually runs $60-$120, while car key replacements, security upgrades, and high-tech locks vary. The good news? We tell you the price upfront. No surprises. No hidden fees.

Can a locksmith make a key without the original?

Yes. Whether it's a house key, car key, or office key, we can create a new one from scratch.

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

Rekeying changes the internal pins, so old keys stop working - cheaper and faster. Replacing means installing a whole new lock - better if you want to upgrade security. Locksmith Sacramento does both.

Is it necessary to change locks after moving into a new home?

Yes. You have no idea who still has a copy of the old key - previous owners, contractors, the neighbor's dog walker. Rekey your locks immediately for peace of mind.
