Locksmith in Schererville, IN
By Jacob, licensed and insured locksmith and owner of Jacob Lock and Key, serving Schererville and Northwest Indiana.
Jacob Lock and Key is a mobile locksmith serving all of Schererville, from the old business district along Joliet Street to the busy retail at the US-30 and US-41 crossroads, usually arriving in 10 to 15 minutes. We work 7am to 11pm, seven days a week. Call (219) 342-5595.
Schererville calls itself the ‘Crossroads of the Nation’ for the junction of US 30 and US 41 at its center, and that location shapes our work. The retail strips and restaurants along both highways generate a steady stream of commercial calls: storefront lockouts, panic hardware, and lock changes after staff turnover. The town has grown quickly with new subdivisions spreading out from the old core founded by Nicholas Scherer in 1866, so post-purchase and new-build rekeys are some of our most common residential jobs. With two major highways crossing town, car lockouts are frequent too, and we reach most of Schererville within 10 to 15 minutes.
Whatever the address, we come to you mobile and finish most jobs on the first visit, without damage. If you just closed on a home in Schererville, rekeying every door to a single key is the first thing we recommend so old keys no longer work.
House and Car Lockouts
With US 30 and US 41 crossing at its center, Schererville sees a lot of traveler car lockouts, and we handle those along with house, apartment, garage, and storage-unit lockouts across town. We reach most of Schererville in 10 to 15 minutes and open the door without damage. Whether keys are locked in the car at a highway plaza or a front door clicked shut behind you, we finish most lockouts in minutes.
Rekeying and Lock Replacement
Schererville has grown fast with new subdivisions, so builder-lock rekeys are one of our most common jobs: after closing, we rekey every door so the construction crew’s keys no longer work. In the older core near Joliet Street, we rekey worn locks and replace tired deadbolts and doorknobs with Kwikset, Schlage, and Medeco hardware, keying the whole home alike to a single key.
Smart Locks
Keyless entry is popular in Schererville’s newer subdivisions, and we install and program smart and keypad locks for homeowners who want it from day one. We set up separate codes for family and guests and make sure the deadbolt moves freely so the lock opens reliably. For rentals, a resettable code beats copying keys between tenants.
Commercial and Safe Work
For the retail strips and restaurants along the US 30 and US 41 corridors, 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.
