Locked out? Lost your keys?
We come to you — fast.

If you're locked out of your home or car in Minneapolis, the first thing to do is get somewhere safe — especially between November and March, when temperatures can drop below zero within minutes of exposure. If someone is inside the home or a child or pet is in the car, call 911 first.

Next, resist the temptation to force a window or use a coat hanger. Modern locks and cars are designed to resist exactly those tricks, and a botched attempt usually costs far more than the lockout service itself.

Instead, call a mobile locksmith like MSP Lock & Key at (952) 299-9666. We arrive anywhere in the Twin Cities metro in typically 20–40 minutes, open your door without damage in most cases, and quote the price upfront before we start any work.

Many Twin Cities drivers assume a lost car key means an expensive trip to the dealer — plus a tow if the car won't start. In reality, mobile automotive locksmiths can cut and program a brand-new key or fob at your location, often the same day you call.

We carry blanks and programming equipment for most makes and models — including transponder keys, push-to-start smart keys, and key fobs — so even if you've lost every key you own, we can usually get you driving again without the car ever leaving your driveway.

The savings are real too: dealer key replacement often runs $300–$600 plus towing, while a mobile locksmith typically charges significantly less. When you call MSP Lock & Key at (952) 299-9666, we'll confirm your vehicle details and give you an exact quote before we roll.

The day you move into a new home in Minneapolis or St. Paul, you should assume old keys are floating around — previous owners, tenants, contractors, dog walkers, and neighbors may all have copies. The good news: you probably don't need new locks.

Rekeying changes the internal pins of your existing lock so old keys stop working instantly. It takes minutes per lock and costs a fraction of replacement. Replacing makes sense only when hardware is worn, damaged, or you want an upgrade like a smart lock or high-security deadbolt.

Most homeowners can rekey every exterior door in a single visit. MSP Lock & Key serves the entire Twin Cities metro — call (952) 299-9666 for upfront pricing, or ask us about keypad and smart lock options while we're there.
