Real Stories From Real Des Moines Lockouts
A guy in West Des Moines - we'll call him Kevin, mostly because that's his name - locked himself out three times in six months. The first time was at sunrise, barefoot and bleary-eyed. We were there in 18 minutes. Got him in without scratching a thing, handed him a spare key, and told him we'd see him soon. (We were right.)
Another day, a mom in Ankeny called us in a panic - her kid's science project, her purse, and her keys were all locked in the car... 10 minutes before school started. We made it in time. No broken windows, no tears, and one very proud child who got to present their baking soda volcano after all.
Yes, We're Really Open 24/7
It's not just a slogan. We really do mean 24 hours locksmith. Holidays. Overnight shifts. Blizzard season. If you need us, we're out the door - no matter the hour. Whether it's a locksmith downtown call at 2 AM or a last-minute home lockout service in Urbandale on Christmas Eve, we don't leave people stuck.
We've answered calls from grocery store parking lots, office buildings, rural driveways, and even one very embarrassed teenager who locked himself in the garage. (Long story. We got him out.)
Common Problems We Solve (All the Time)
Locked myself out of my apartment? We'll pick the lock or bypass it without a scratch. No damage, no hassle. Just quick, quiet access so you can get back to your night.
Key broke in lock? Happens more than people think - especially in winter. We extract the piece, fix or replace the cylinder if needed, and even cut a backup on-site so you're covered next time.
Lost your car keys? We make spare car keys, reprogram automotive locksmith key fobs, and unlock cars with zero damage. Dealerships can take days. We take minutes.
Tips We Always Share (Whether You Ask or Not)
Don't fight a sticky lock - forcing the key usually snaps it. Call us before it becomes a "key broke in lock" situation. You'll thank us.
Don't hide a spare under your doormat. Burglars know. Instead, install a keypad or give us a call about setting up a digital central lock system. Safer. Smarter. No more crawling through bushes at midnight.
Winter car trouble? Remote fobs hate the cold. Keep them warm or carry a backup. We once had a guy tape a HotHands packet to his fob. Weird - but hey, it worked.
