Locksmith in Griffith, IN
By Jacob, licensed and insured locksmith and owner of Jacob Lock and Key, serving Griffith and Northwest Indiana.
Jacob Lock and Key is a mobile locksmith serving all of Griffith, from the old downtown around Broad and Main Streets to the residential neighborhoods near Central Park, usually arriving in 10 to 15 minutes. We work 7am to 11pm, seven days a week. Call (219) 342-5595.
Griffith earned the nickname ‘the town that came to the tracks,’ and the heart of town still sits at the old rail crossing on Broad Street near the Griffith Historical Park and Depot Museum. Many of the homes in that older core date back decades and still run original deadbolts and door hardware, so rekeys and lock replacements are some of our most common Griffith calls. Out toward the newer streets around Central Park, where the WWII tank and ball fields draw families, we handle house lockouts and post-move rekeys for new homeowners. Because Broad Street connects US 6 and US 30, we also catch a steady run of car lockouts from drivers 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 Griffith, rekeying every door to a single key is the first thing we recommend so old keys no longer work.
House and Car Lockouts
When you are locked out in Griffith, we reach the neighborhoods around Broad Street and Central Park in 10 to 15 minutes and open the door without damage. Because Broad Street connects US 6 and US 30, we also catch car lockouts from drivers passing through, along with house, garage, and storage-unit lockouts across town. We carry non-destructive entry tools, so we get you back in without harming the door or the lock.
Rekeying and Lock Replacement
Much of Griffith is older, well-built housing in the neighborhoods near the historic Depot Museum, and those homes often run original deadbolts that are due for a rekey. We change the pins so old keys stop working, key every door alike to one key, and replace worn or damaged hardware with Kwikset, Schlage, and Assa-Abloy locks. Rekeying is the first thing we recommend after a move so the prior owner’s keys are retired.
Smart Locks
Smart and keypad locks are a growing request in Griffith, both from homeowners who want keyless entry and from owners of the rental homes along the Broad Street corridor. We install and program them, set up user codes, and make sure the deadbolt seats cleanly so the motor is not straining against a misaligned door.
Commercial and Safe Work
For the shops and offices along Broad Street and Ridge Road, 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 is lost or a combination is forgotten.
For upfront pricing on any of these services, see our locksmith prices page, or call (219) 342-5595 for a quote.
