Locksmith in Hobart, IN
By Jacob, licensed and insured locksmith and owner of Jacob Lock and Key, serving Hobart and Northwest Indiana.
Jacob Lock and Key is a mobile locksmith serving all of Hobart, from the walkable downtown around Lake George to the subdivisions out toward Deep River, usually arriving in 10 to 15 minutes. We work 7am to 11pm, seven days a week. Call (219) 342-5595.
Hobart grew up around the dam that George Earle built on Deep River in 1845, and the millpond he created, Lake George, still anchors downtown today. The older homes from George Earle Elementary School and storefronts near Lakefront Park and Festival Park often run aging deadbolts and original hardware, so rekeys, lock replacements, and storefront lockouts are some of our most common Hobart calls. Out toward the newer neighborhoods and the retail around the Southlake Mall area on the city’s south side, we handle house lockouts and post-move rekeys for new homeowners. With Deep River and a busy downtown, we also catch a steady run of car lockouts near the parks and shops.
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 Hobart, 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 around Hobart, from downtown by Lake George to the newer subdivisions toward Deep River, 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 near Festival Park and the Route 30 retail corridor. Instead of forcing the door, call and we will get you back in cleanly on the first visit.
Rekeying and Lock Replacement
The older homes and storefronts near Lake George often run original deadbolts, so rekeying and lock replacement are among our most common Hobart jobs. We change the pins so old keys stop working, key every door alike to one key, and swap worn deadbolts and doorknobs for Kwikset, Schlage, or Multi Lock hardware. New owners usually call right after closing so the previous resident’s keys are retired.
Smart Locks
Smart and keypad locks are a popular upgrade for Hobart homeowners and for the rentals near downtown and Lake George. We install and program them, set up user codes, and calibrate the bolt so it opens smoothly and does not drain the batteries fighting a misaligned door.
Commercial and Safe Work
For the businesses downtown and along the Route 30 retail corridor, we handle storefront lockouts, master-key systems, panic hardware, and lock changes after staff turnover. We also open home and office safes without damage when a key or combination is lost.
For upfront pricing on any of these services, see our locksmith prices page, or call (219) 342-5595 for a quote.
