Frequently Asked Questions - Aspen Hill Locksmith

After years of helping homeowners, drivers, and business owners around Aspen Hill, we've collected the questions people ask most. These answers come straight from our technicians at Aspen Hill Locksmith. Real talk, real solutions, and real local experience.

Emergency Locksmith

How fast can Aspen Hill Locksmith get to me?

Usually within 20 to 30 minutes. We have mobile units near Aspen Hill, Rockville, and Wheaton ready to move as soon as you call.

Are you really available 24 hours a day?

Yes. Aspen Hill Locksmith never closes. If you call at midnight or on a Sunday morning, you will still reach a real technician ready to help.

Will you damage my lock while unlocking it?

We do everything possible to avoid damage. Our locksmiths use non-destructive tools to pick or bypass locks cleanly. Drilling happens only if the lock is beyond repair, and we explain everything before doing it.

Do you charge extra for nights or weekends?

No. Our pricing stays consistent no matter the hour. You pay the same rate whether it is Monday morning or Saturday night.

What should I do while waiting for the locksmith?

Stay calm and safe. If you are outside at night, wait in a lit area. If you are locked out of your car, stand nearby but away from traffic. We will update you with our arrival time as we drive over.

Residential Locksmith

Should I rekey my locks after moving in?

Yes. Aspen Hill Locksmith always recommends rekeying after a move. It is quick, inexpensive, and ensures that only you have the working keys.

Can I upgrade to smart locks?

Yes. We install keypad and Wi-Fi locks that work with your phone or smart home system. If you are not sure what fits your door, our technician can help you choose the right one.

What if my lock is sticky or the key will not turn?

That usually means the cylinder is worn or the door shifted slightly. We can realign or rebuild the lock, depending on the cause.

Can you repair a broken deadbolt?

Yes. In most cases, it is fixable. Aspen Hill Locksmith can replace the latch or the internal pins instead of the whole lock if possible.

Are high security locks worth it?

They are if you want stronger resistance to picking or forced entry. We install brands like Schlage, Yale, and Medeco that give real protection.

Automotive Locksmith

Can you unlock my car without breaking anything?

Yes. We use slim entry tools that open doors safely. No scratches, no damage, and no prying with coat hangers.

Can Aspen Hill Locksmith make a new key if I lost mine?

Usually yes. Our vans carry equipment to cut and program new car keys or fobs for most makes and models.

Do you handle push start vehicles?

Yes. We can program smart fobs for newer cars with keyless ignition systems right at your location.

Can you unlock my trunk separately from the car?

Yes, in most vehicles. If the trunk release is locked out too, we can access it through the cabin or use special tools made for that model.

What if my key broke off in the ignition?

Do not try to pull it out yourself. Aspen Hill Locksmith can extract the piece without harming the ignition and cut a new key to match.

Commercial Locksmith

Can you rekey our office after an employee leaves?

Yes. Rekeying ensures old keys stop working immediately. We can also set up a master key system if you want tiered access for different staff members.

Do you install keypad or electronic locks for businesses?

Yes. Aspen Hill Locksmith installs keypads, card readers, and access control locks for small offices, retail shops, and multi-unit buildings.

Do you handle panic bars and exit doors?

Yes. We install and repair panic hardware, door closers, and ADA compliant locks that meet safety requirements.

Can you service my door closer that is slamming shut?

We can adjust or replace the closer depending on the issue. Sometimes all it takes is a new spring or valve adjustment.

Do you offer scheduled maintenance for businesses?

Yes. Aspen Hill Locksmith provides regular inspections, lubrication, and tune ups to keep your locks working smoothly all year.
