A mobile locksmith works from a van rather than a shop, and comes to you. That is handy for lockouts, but it also means you need to check who you are hiring.

What can be done on site

  • Lockouts for homes, cars and businesses.
  • Rekeying and lock changes.
  • Key cutting, and for many vehicles, key programming.
  • Lock repair and new lock installation.

Questions to ask

  • What is the estimate, and does it include the service call fee?
  • Will the price be confirmed before work starts?
  • Is the work covered by a warranty, and for how long?
  • Will I get an itemized receipt?

How this service works

Union City Locksmith Store is a referral service: your call is passed to an independent locksmith contractor who works in the area. You are invoiced by and pay that contractor, and any warranty on the work comes from them. Full details are in the terms and conditions.
