Help for Car Lockouts and Emergency Vehicle Access

If you’ve locked your keys inside, we can use a Lishi Tool to quickly and safely open the door lock. If you’ve lost your keys, we can also use it to decode the internal lock cylinder and fabricate a new key for you.

Car lockouts can happen in a driveway, at an office, on a farm, or in a store parking lot. You might shut the door and see the keys on the seat, or a key fob may stop working without warning. When your car is locked, and you cannot get in, we provide lockout services for cars, trucks, and SUVs, including work vehicles and small business fleets.

Our automotive locksmiths use professional tools and tested methods to open locked vehicles without breaking glass or damaging your property. We handle car lockouts when keys are locked in the car, trunk, or truck bed, and when a broken key or worn lock prevents a door from opening. We can unlock a wide range of makes and models, including service trucks and other commercial vehicles.

Car Key Replacement, Duplication, and Programming

Lost, worn, or damaged car keys are a common issue across ND, especially when a vehicle sees daily use for work or family. We offer key cutting, key duplication, and car key replacement services for a wide range of vehicles, enabling you to obtain a new key or key copy tailored to your specific needs. Our car locksmiths handle:

  • Metal car key cutting and duplication
  • Transponder key programming
  • Key fob programming and replacement
  • Creating keys from vehicle information if all keys are lost

We often offer a more affordable and convenient solution than dealerships. Pricing depends on the year, make, model, and location—our team will walk you through your options and costs before starting work.

Automotive Locksmith FAQ

What does an automotive locksmith do?

An automotive locksmith specializes in working on car keys, vehicle locks, and ignition systems. We assist with car lockouts, key replacement, key duplication, key cutting, transponder key and key fob programming, and ignition or door lock repair and rekeying.

Can you help if I lost all keys to my car or truck?

In many cases, yes. We can often create a new key, and in some cases a new transponder key or key fob, by using your vehicle information and proof of ownership. Contact us with your vehicle year, make, model, and location so we can explain your options.

Is a locksmith cheaper than a dealership for car keys?

For many drivers, a professional locksmith solution is more affordable than a dealership visit, especially for key replacement, key duplication, and key fob programming. The final cost depends on your vehicle and key type, so we always review the details with you before the service.

How much does it cost to unlock my car?

The price to unlock a car or truck depends on your location, the type of vehicle, and the time you call. Our team will provide you with a quote before we begin and explain what is included in the service.

Do I need to tow my car to you for a new key?

In many cases, you do not need a tow. Our mobile team can come to your location in Bismarck, Mandan, Lincoln, or nearby areas and create or program a new key on-site. In some situations, in-shop work is preferable, and we will explain this if needed.

Can you unlock my truck or work vehicle at a job site?
