With a population of 515,762, Phoenix generates emergency calls around the clock across Maricopa County. This coverage spans 141 zip codes, reaching the separate town of Paradise Valley and stretching into Phoenix neighborhoods like Encanto, Alhambra, and South Mountain. Nights, weekends, and holidays are answered on the same number as a Tuesday afternoon.
An overnight call is taken by whichever independent locksmith is already out on the road, so a night job is not slower because an office is closed. It is slower or faster depending on where that one locksmith happens to be when the phone rings. The calls change shape by the hour: a car lockout in a parking lot at the end of a shift, a house lockout after somebody gets home late, and a lock change first thing in the morning after a night that went wrong.
What the dispatcher needs at 3am is the same as at noon. Just tell us where you are and what is locked. For fast service anywhere in Phoenix and the surrounding county, one number covers all of it.

Searching for a locksmith near you is rarely about finding a shop to visit. It means you need service brought directly to your parked car or front door without waiting hours for help. The core question is whether a mobile unit is close enough to arrive quickly.
Coverage extends throughout the area, including Encanto 1 miles west, Alhambra 3 miles northwest, and Story 4 miles southwest. Mobile service also reaches Camelback East Village 5 miles east, Alhambra Square 5 miles west, Sunset Village 5 miles northwest, South Mountain 7 miles south, and Paradise Valley 7 miles northeast.

If a child, a pet, or a running engine is locked inside a vehicle, state that in the very first sentence of your call. Immediate priority is given to situations where safety or vehicle operation is at risk.
For standard car lockouts, the door is opened right where the vehicle stands, eliminating any need for a tow truck. This includes situations where keys are locked in the trunk or when a key snaps, which requires key extraction from a door lock. Providing the year, make, and model when calling helps the technician we dispatch arrive with the right tools.

Losing a primary key with no spare does not mean paying for a tow to a dealership lot. A replacement key is cut to the original factory specifications directly at your car.
Mobile units carry the equipment required for key fob programming and push-to-start proximity keys. Because hardware and system requirements vary, the vehicle make, model, and year determine what options can be completed on site.

Getting locked out of a home happens quickly, whether it is a single-family house or an apartment where the buzzer panel is on the wrong side of the entry door. The priority is to open the entry door without replacing the hardware whenever the lock design permits.
If a child or pet is locked inside and facing immediate risk, call 911 first. Emergency responders can force entry immediately, which a commercial locksmith cannot do.

A rekey re-pins the existing lock cylinder so every old key stops working. A lock change completely replaces the hardware mounted on the door. Rekeying works best after moving into a new home or managing tenant turnover, while a full replacement is right after a break-in or when hardware is worn out.
Every cylinder on a property can be rekeyed or replaced during a single trip. The independent locksmith dispatched to your location evaluates the hardware and provides a quote before starting, following the price ranges listed above.

A business lockout usually creates an immediate timing problem, occurring right before opening hours or right after evening closing. Rapid response keeps operational downtime minimal for storefronts, offices, and multi-suite commercial buildings.
A commercial lock change or rekey is often needed following a staff departure or forced entry attempt. Mobile units can also set up master key systems for simplified management access or install restricted keyways to prevent unauthorized duplication.
When you find yourself locked out of your car or home in Maricopa County, getting back inside quickly takes top priority. A locksmith travels directly to your location throughout Phoenix, carrying all the necessary tools to unlock doors, make new keys, or alter existing locks right by the curb. Nearby communities like Encanto, situated just a mile west, and Alhambra, home to over 100,000 residents three miles to the northwest, rely on this prompt mobile help every day.

Whether you are standing beside a locked sedan or managing a commercial property, our work covers all standard lock and key needs without unnecessary delays. Drivers who get locked out can have their vehicle doors opened on-site without needing a tow truck, and replacement keys or remote fobs can be cut and programmed for nearly any vehicle brand. Residential help includes unlocking front doors without destroying the existing hardware, along with resetting deadbolts, electronic keypads, or upgraded security cylinders so old keys no longer turn the lock. Businesses across the city can get help with commercial lockouts, customized keying setups that allow one key to open specific doors, emergency push bars, and digital entry control systems.

Call 911 first, before anything else. Police and fire crews treat a child locked in a vehicle as an emergency and can force entry immediately, which no locksmith should wait to be asked to do. Once everyone is safe, the car still needs opening, and that call can follow.
The locksmith comes to the car, reads the code the vehicle was built with, then cuts and programs the new key on the spot. There is no tow and no dealership appointment, and it is done the same way anywhere in and around Phoenix — Story, Alhambra Square, Camelback East Village, Sunset Village and more.
Usually, and without replacing anything: front and back doors, patio and sliding doors, the garage side door, and the apartment entrance with a buzzer panel. It is the same call anywhere in Phoenix and across Story, Alhambra Square, Camelback East Village, Sunset Village and more.
Yes. A lock change after a break-in is treated as an emergency, because a door that has been forced once will not hold the second time. Board-up and a working lock are usually the same visit.
The job is done through the lock and the door is meant to come away unmarked — that is the whole reason an auto locksmith is called instead of anybody with a tool. If a vehicle turns out to need something that could mark it, you are told before it happens, not after.
Yes. The key is cut to the car’s own code rather than copied, which is exactly what makes it possible when every key is gone. Most makes and models are covered, including transponder chip keys and push-to-start fobs.
The aim is to open the door and leave the lock working, and on most residential locks that is what happens. Some locks cannot be opened that way — a high-security cylinder, or one that has already been forced — and those are drilled and replaced instead. Ask which of the two you are looking at, and agree it, before any work starts.
Yes. A commercial locksmith covers storefronts, offices and multi-suite buildings before opening and after closing, which is when a business lockout actually happens — anywhere in and around Phoenix, including Story, Alhambra Square, Camelback East Village, Sunset Village and more.

Great service, arrived in timely and very professional, helpful. Will always use this service.
Tech arrived in decent time. The price was fairly reasonable.
Responsive, great service.
This was the fastest service I ever had with a locksmith. Before I could hang up, 2 people had called and one of them was already there. It took only a few minutes to complete the job. I was very satisfied.
After I called for assistance getting new fobs made for my truck onsite, Gabriel (the tech from ASAP Locksmith) called me back and was there in about 15 minutes. He was very professional and prompt. Gabriel had everything taken care of within 10 minutes. From the initial call to completion was less than an hour. That is what I call service. I would use this company again and recommend asking for Gabriel if he is available.
They came quickly, reasonable price. Very helpful. Tried to help us figure out how to get car started once they got us in. (Key fob got wet.) Would recommend!
Responded quickly, had my door open in no time! Would use again if needed.
I would like to thank Issac for helping me with my car key issues. It was so hot today, and I felt bad that he had to work in the heat. I feel better now that I have a hard key and two working key fobs. He did a great job!
