Lock and key service in Trussville, AL

Trussville has grown quickly along the I-59 corridor, so we split our time between newer subdivisions and the older streets around downtown. New construction generates rekeys at closing and smart lock installs; the older housing generates lock repairs and deadbolt upgrades on doors that only ever had a knob lock.

On the commercial side, the retail along Colonial Promenade and the restaurants in the Entertainment District mean regular storefront cylinder, closer and exit device work.

Car locksmith in Trussville

Most of what we do in Trussville starts with a vehicle. We open locked cars, trucks, SUVs and vans without damaging the door, lock or glass, and we cut and program replacement keys on site, including when every key is lost. That covers transponder keys, key fobs and proximity smart keys, ignition repair, trunk unlocks and broken key extraction.

Because the service is mobile, the job site is wherever your vehicle is: a driveway, a workplace lot, a shopping center, a repair shop or the shoulder of I-59, US-11 and Chalkville Road. There is no tow to a dealership and no waiting for a service appointment. See automotive locksmith services for the full list.

Residential locksmith in Trussville

On the residential side, Trussville keeps us busy with the everyday work that protects a home. House lockouts when a door latches behind you, rekeying after a move or a lost key, deadbolt installation on doors that only ever had a knob lock, lock repair when a bolt no longer seats properly, key duplication and smart lock installation. We work every ZIP code in the area, including 35173 and 35235.

One tip specific to older housing: if a deadbolt only turns when you pull or lift the door, the bolt is not fully entering the strike, which means the lock is not doing its job even when locked. That is usually a strike or hinge adjustment rather than new hardware. Full detail on residential locksmith services.

Commercial locksmith in Trussville

Commercial work in Trussville centers on two things: controlling keys and keeping doors functioning. That means business lockouts, commercial rekeying after staff or tenant changes, master key systems, keypad and card access control, panic bars and exit devices, storefront and mortise hardware and high-security locks.

Two things worth flagging for any business: a chained or padlocked exit door is a code violation as well as a serious liability, and an unreturned key from a departed employee is an open access hole until the cylinders are changed. Both are straightforward to fix. See commercial locksmith services.

FAQ

Locksmith questions from Trussville

Do you serve Trussville, AL?

Yes. Express Key Locksmith is a fully mobile locksmith covering Birmingham and all of Jefferson County, including Trussville. Automotive, residential and commercial work is all handled on site. Call (205) 259-8892.

Can you make a car key in Trussville if I lost all of mine?

Yes. We originate, cut and program replacement car keys at the vehicle, including all-keys-lost jobs, so there is no tow to a dealership. Tell us the year, make and model when you call. See car key replacement.

How much does a locksmith cost in Trussville?

It depends on the job. A house lockout, a rekey and a proximity smart key are very different pieces of work. Tell us what happened when you call, and the technician confirms the price with you on site before any work starts.

Do you rekey rental properties in Trussville?

Yes. We handle tenant turnover rekeys for landlords and property managers, single units or whole buildings, and can set up a master key system so management holds one key while each tenant key opens only their own door.

Will you damage my lock getting me back in?

Normally no. Automotive and residential lockouts in Trussville are opened using non-destructive methods that leave the lock, door and frame intact. Drilling is a last resort for locks that are already seized or broken, and we discuss it with you first.

Should I rekey my locks after moving into a home in Trussville?

Yes. The keys handed over at closing are not the only ones in existence: copies accumulate over the years with contractors, relatives, cleaners and previous tenants. Rekeying every exterior lock is inexpensive and makes all of them useless.
