Locksmiths do far more than open locked doors. Here's an overview of the main service categories and when you might need each.
Residential locksmiths handle home lockouts, rekeying, deadbolt installation, and security upgrades, while commercial locksmiths focus on heavier hardware, panic exit devices, and master key systems for businesses. Both categories cover installation, repair, and access control. The scale and code requirements differ between them.
Automotive locksmiths open locked vehicles, cut and program keys and fobs, and repair ignitions. Modern car keys usually require both cutting and programming to the immobilizer, so this work needs specialized equipment. Coverage varies by make and model.
Emergency locksmiths respond to urgent lockouts and post-break-in security needs, often around the clock. Specialty work includes safes, high-security locks, and restricted key systems. Knowing which category fits your problem helps you find the right provider quickly.
