Jacob Lock and Key is a mobile locksmith serving Ogden Dunes, the small lakefront community tucked into the dunes along Lake Michigan, usually arriving in 10 to 15 minutes. We work 7am to 11pm, seven days a week. Call (219) 342-5595.
Ogden Dunes is a quiet, wooded town of winding roads and lakefront homes built right into the dunes, next to Indiana Dunes National Park and known for landmarks like the Hour Glass Museum and the old Ogden Dunes ski jump site. Many homes here are older cottages and custom builds with unique doors and aging hardware, so rekeys and lock replacements are some of our most common calls. Because the town sees seasonal residents, second homes, and vacation rentals near the beach off Shore Drive, we also handle a lot of rekeys between guests and car lockouts for visitors who shut keys in the trunk after a day on the water.
Whatever the address, we come to you mobile and finish most jobs on the first visit, without damage. If you just bought a home or opened a rental in Ogden Dunes, 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 at your home in Ogden Dunes, we reach the lakefront streets in 10 to 15 minutes and open the door without damage. We handle house, cottage, garage, and storage-unit lockouts, plus car lockouts for residents and beach visitors near Shore Drive. Because many homes here are older custom builds with unusual doors, we take extra care to open them cleanly.
Rekeying and Lock Replacement
Many Ogden Dunes homes are older cottages and custom builds, so rekeys and lock replacements are among our most common calls, especially after a purchase when you want the previous owner’s keys retired. We change the pins so old keys stop working, key every door alike to one key, and replace worn hardware with Kwikset, Schlage, and Medeco locks.
Smart Locks
With seasonal residents and beach rentals near the dunes, keypad and smart locks are ideal in Ogden Dunes: reset the code between guests instead of handing out keys. We install and program them and calibrate the bolt so it opens reliably, even on the older doors common here.
Commercial and Safe Work
Ogden Dunes is almost entirely residential, but for the town’s small offices, rentals, and outbuildings we handle lockouts, lock changes, and master keys, and we open home and cottage safes without damage when a key or combination is lost.
