Locked out of your home? Can't start your car because the key fob stopped working? Need your business locks changed after hours?
We're Eastern Auto Locksmith - a local team of licensed locksmiths based right here in Washington, DC. We help homeowners, drivers, renters, and business owners all across the area with honest, fast, and reliable locksmith services, 24 hours a day.
Whether it's an emergency at midnight or a scheduled visit on your lunch break, we show up ready to solve the problem - no drama, no surprise pricing, and no long waits.
We work with locks, keys, doors, ignitions, remotes, safes, and access systems. You name it - we've probably fixed, replaced, or rekeyed it. Here are some of the services we offer in Washington, DC and nearby cities:
We also work with high-security locks like Medeco and offer guidance on different door lock types for homes and small businesses. If you're not sure what you need, just ask - we're happy to explain it in plain language.
We handle just about every kind of lock and key problem you can think of. Whether it's a middle-of-the-night lockout that needs our emergency locksmith team, a lost car key that calls for our auto locksmith experts, or a home security upgrade through our residential locksmith services - we're ready to help. Business owners across DC also trust our commercial locksmith division for door hardware, panic bars, and master key systems. We provide rekey services when you move into a new space and offer full garage door lock and opener support when you need it. If it locks, clicks, or turns, we can take care of it.
We're not a call center or franchise. We live and work here - and we've probably already helped one of your neighbors.
Just last week, a mom in Petworth called us after her 5-year-old accidentally locked her out while she was unloading groceries. We were there in 20 minutes, popped the door without any damage, and even gave her a tip about child-proof deadbolts.
A delivery driver near Union Market was stuck one afternoon when his transponder key just stopped working. We programmed a new key using the VIN and had him back on the road in under an hour. He left a review saying it was the "smoothest emergency fix" he'd ever had.
And in Shaw, a retired couple who just bought a new home had no idea who still had keys. We rekeyed every lock, added a smart keypad to the back entrance, and showed them how to manage guest codes. They were relieved - and grateful it was all done in one visit.
We know you have options. But here's why so many folks in DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia stick with us:
It depends on what you need. A basic lockout can start at $85. Rekeying locks is usually $25-45 per lock. Car key replacement and programming can run $150 to $300 depending on the car. We always quote honestly - no tricks.
Yes. We make car keys even if you don't have one left. With your VIN and registration, we cut and program a new chip key or keyless remote right on site.
Absolutely. We work with smart lock brands like Yale, Schlage, Kwikset, and August. We install the hardware, set it up on your phone, and show you how to use it.
No. We use professional tools to pick or bypass most locks without damage. Drilling is a last resort - and we always ask first if that's the only option.
Don't try to force it out. We have tools that can extract the broken piece cleanly, usually without taking the whole lock apart. We can also cut you a new key on the spot.
We cover every neighborhood: Columbia Heights, Shaw, Georgetown, Navy Yard, Adams Morgan, Anacostia, Capitol Hill, Brightwood, and everywhere in between. If you're within city limits, we'll get to you fast.
