"Inherited an old floor safe in my commercial building and had no combination. Kwikey drilled it cleanly, recovered the contents, and then installed a brand new digital safe in its place. Excellent end-to-end service from opening to installation."

Solving Car Lockout Queries for Wilmington

Do I need to make an appointment or can you come now? expand_more

Both work! For emergencies, we prioritize your call. For scheduled work like lock installation or rekeying, we can book appointments that fit your schedule. Tell us your preference when you call.

What is a transponder key and why does it require specialized programming? expand_more

A transponder key has a computer chip that communicates with your car's immobilizer system. If the chip signal doesn't match, the car won't start. The chip requires specialized programming equipment and expert configuration to ensure security.

What information do you need when I call? expand_more

For the most efficient service, have ready: your location (address or cross streets), type of lockout (home, car, business), vehicle year/make/model if automotive, and any details about your lock type if you know them. This helps us dispatch the right tech with the right tools.

Can you make car keys for any vehicle? expand_more

Yes, we can cut and program keys for most makes and models, including transponder keys, smart keys, and key fobs. We work with domestic and foreign vehicles, both new and older models.

I lost all my car keys. Can you still help? expand_more

Absolutely. We can create a new key from scratch for most vehicles. We'll verify ownership, program a new transponder or smart key, and have you driving again. This is much more convenient than towing to a dealership.

Are your locksmiths background checked? expand_more

Yes, every technician undergoes a thorough background check before joining our team. We also carry full insurance. You're trusting us with access to your home or business—we take that responsibility seriously.

Why Call a Professional Instead of DIY?

Online videos showing coat-hanger techniques cause more damage than you'd expect — bent door frames, torn weather seals, broken electronics, and scratched paint. Professional automotive entry tools are precision instruments that work with your vehicle's design, not against it. The cost of professional service is a fraction of the body shop bill from a DIY attempt gone wrong.

gavel New Castle County Locksmith Compliance

New Castle County requires all locksmiths to be certified through the Delaware State Fire Marshal's Office and maintain proof of insurance.
