Locksmith in Lake Station, IN
By Jacob, licensed and insured locksmith and owner of Jacob Lock and Key, serving Lake Station and Northwest Indiana.
Jacob Lock and Key is a mobile locksmith serving all of Lake Station, from the neighborhoods near Thomas A. Edison Junior-Senior High School to the homes along the I-94 and I-65 corridor, usually arriving in 10 to 15 minutes. We work 7am to 11pm, seven days a week. Call (219) 342-5595.
Lake Station, once known as East Gary, is a working community of about 13,000 along the Little Calumet and Deep River. Much of the housing is older and well-established, so rekeys, lock replacements, and house lockouts make up the bulk of our work here, especially for new owners who want the previous resident’s keys to stop working after a move. The annual Heritage Days Festival and the Fuzz Follies car show at Riverview Park draw the community together each year, and around the busy I-94 and I-65 interchange we also get a steady run of car lockouts from travelers and truckers passing through.
Whatever the address, we come to you mobile and finish most jobs on the first visit, without damage. If you just bought or rented a home in Lake Station, rekeying every door to a single key is the first thing we recommend so old keys no longer work.
House and Car Lockouts
Locked out in Lake Station, from the neighborhoods near Riverview Park to the streets off the I-94 and I-65 interchange, we reach you in 10 to 15 minutes and open the door without damage. We handle house, apartment, garage, and storage-unit lockouts, plus car lockouts from travelers and truckers near the highways. We open the door cleanly on the first visit rather than forcing it.
Rekeying and Lock Replacement
Much of Lake Station, once known as East Gary, is older, well-established housing, so rekeys, lock changes, and worn-deadbolt replacements make up the bulk of our work here. We change the pins so old keys stop working, key every door alike to one key, and replace tired hardware with Kwikset, Schlage, and Defiant locks. New owners usually call right after a move so the previous resident’s keys are retired.
Smart Locks
For the rentals around Lake Station, keypad and smart locks save chasing copies of a key between tenants: set a code and reset it at turnover. We install and program them, set up user codes, and calibrate the bolt so the lock opens smoothly every time.
Commercial and Safe Work
For the businesses near the highway interchange and along Central Avenue, we handle storefront lockouts, master-key systems, and lock changes after staff turnover. We also open home and office safes without damage when a key or combination is lost.
