Residential Locksmith Germantown MD - Protecting Homes Big and Small

Your home should be your safest space. But if you just moved in, lost a key, or can't remember who might still have a copy - it might be time to re-evaluate those locks.

At Germantown Locksmith, we help families, roommates, landlords, and homeowners all over Germantown, MD take back control of their front doors. From emergency house lockouts to full lock upgrades, our residential locksmith services are designed to make your home safer, without making things complicated.

Home Lockouts Happen

Locked out of your house? It happens more often than you'd think. Maybe the door slammed shut while you grabbed the mail. Or the keys are sitting on the kitchen counter, mocking you through the window.

No need to panic - and definitely no need to break a window. We can usually unlock most home doors in just a few minutes. Our tools are professional, our techniques are non-destructive, and our goal is to get you back inside without adding any more stress to your day.

We've Helped:

  • A mom locked out while holding a sleeping baby
  • A teen who shut the garage without a backup plan
  • A dog walker who couldn't relock the door after it jammed

Whatever the reason, if you're locked out of house, give us a call. We'll be there fast - usually in under 30 minutes - and get you back in quickly.

Rekeying: The Smart Move After a Move

If you just bought or rented a new place, there's a good chance other people still have copies of the old keys. Realtors, contractors, dog sitters - who knows?

We recommend rekeying your locks anytime you change homes, change roommates, or change tenants. It's quick, affordable, and keeps the existing lock hardware in place. We simply adjust the internal pins so only a new key will work.

We rekey everything from standard front door locks to deadbolts, patio sliders, and garage entries.

Time for an Upgrade?

Some locks just don't age well. Maybe the key sticks, the handle wiggles, or it feels like you need to say a prayer before it turns. If you're dealing with a frustrating lock every day, we can help you upgrade to something secure and smooth.

We Install:

  • Deadbolts (single and double-cylinder)
  • Keyless entry systems
  • Smart locks (app-controlled, WiFi, Bluetooth)
  • High-security locks with pick/drill resistance

Not sure what's right for your home? We'll walk you through the options, show you real examples, and never pressure you into something you don't need.

Extra Keys? We Make Those Too

Whether it's for a babysitter, neighbor, or just a "hide it in the shed" backup, we can cut you new house keys while we're there. Fast, accurate, and ready to use.

FAQ - Quick Answers From Your Local Locksmith

How much does it cost to rekey a home in Germantown?

Rekeying starts around $25 to $35 per lock, plus a service fee. We offer package pricing for multiple locks. We'll give you an exact quote before we begin.

Can you rekey without replacing the whole lock?

Yes. We keep the same hardware and change the internal pins so the old key no longer works. It's faster and cheaper than replacing everything.

Do you install smart locks?

We do! We install all major brands including Schlage, Yale, August, and Kwikset. Whether you want a keypad, app access, or voice control, we can help you set it up.

What if my key broke off in the lock?

We can safely extract it and get your door working again. In most cases, you won't need a full replacement unless the lock is damaged.
