Home & Residential

"Locked out with the baby inside" - Monica, Fort Washington MD

"I was unloading groceries and somehow my front door shut behind me. My baby was napping inside and I was panicking. I called Locksmith Fort Washington and they were at my house in under 20 minutes. The tech opened the door without a scratch. He was calm, quick, and didn't make me feel dumb about it. Absolute lifesaver."

"Rekeyed the whole house after a divorce" - Tyrell, Clinton MD

"After a tough breakup, I didn't feel safe knowing someone else still had the keys. Locksmith Fort Washington rekeyed every lock in my home that same afternoon. They also showed me how to check for worn cylinders and helped me pick better lock grades for the back door. Felt like talking to a neighbor, not a salesperson."

"Fixed a smart lock the other company gave up on" - Dana, Oxon Hill MD

"We had a keypad lock that would jam every time it rained. Another company told us to just replace it. The guy from Locksmith Fort Washington actually diagnosed the issue - it was an alignment problem with the strike plate. He fixed it in 15 minutes and saved us buying a whole new unit. Very impressed."

24/7 Locksmith Service Fast Response

Automotive Locksmith

"Car running, doors locked, toddler inside" - Grace, Alexandria VA

"My 2-year-old hit the lock button while I was grabbing something from the trunk. Doors locked, engine running, total panic. Locksmith Fort Washington got to me in 18 minutes flat and popped the door without damage. They even gave my daughter a sticker and high-five when it was all over. Kind, fast, and knew exactly what to do."

"Lost keys at the gym, had to get to work" - Nick, Fort Washington MD

"I dropped my key fob at the gym and couldn't find it anywhere. Locksmith Fort Washington sent someone who cut and programmed a new key for my Hyundai right in the parking lot. Took less than 40 minutes start to finish. They saved my whole day."

"Dealership wanted 3 days, they did it in 30 minutes" - Marisol, Silver Spring MD

"I needed a new key fob and the dealership said they'd need to order it and tow the car in. Locksmith Fort Washington came to me and handled everything on the spot. Programmed, tested, done - for less than half the price. So glad I looked up a local car locksmith instead."

Emergency Situations

"Locked out at 1 a.m. in pajamas" - Josh, Arlington VA

"I stepped out for a smoke and the door locked behind me. No phone, no wallet, just me in pajamas. My neighbor let me borrow their phone to call Locksmith Fort Washington. The tech was there in about 25 minutes and had me back inside fast. No judgment, no drama. Professional and lifesaving."

"Break-in scare, needed locks changed ASAP" - Rachel, Waldorf MD

"Someone tried to break into my back door and damaged the deadbolt. I called Locksmith Fort Washington around 6 a.m. and they came out that morning. Rekeyed everything, added a stronger cylinder lock, and gave me advice on lighting and camera placement. Felt safer immediately."

Commercial & Business Clients

"Needed a rekey after staff turnover" - Dave, business owner in Hyattsville MD

"We had a few keyholders leave the company, and I didn't want to take chances. Locksmith Fort Washington rekeyed five exterior locks, added a master key system, and got everything done after hours so we didn't miss a beat. Super clean job and clear pricing."

"Fixed our panic bar after a fire marshal warning" - Aisha, school administrator in Bethesda

"We had a faulty push bar on an emergency exit and were warned to fix it quickly. Locksmith Fort Washington sent a commercial locksmith who knew exactly what to do. He replaced the mechanism, adjusted the tension, and double-checked everything. Passed inspection the next day. Huge relief."

"Fast service for our rental units" - Manny, property manager in Falls Church

"I manage six units and need locks changed constantly when tenants move out. Locksmith Fort Washington has been my go-to for over a year. They're reliable, fast, and fair - and they even keep track of my preferred hardware so rekey jobs stay consistent. Couldn't ask for better."
