Keys & Lockouts
If you closed last week, assume someone else still has a key. A rekey of the exterior doors is the first useful visit — cheaper than replacing hardware that still works.

Boise locksmiths who come to the address
A North End rental, a Bench bungalow, a downtown storefront, and a west-side build from the last decade are four different doors. We treat them that way — and we come to you. There is no public Boise shop.
When you call, we give you a real arrival time. Emergency lockouts across the Treasure Valley — typically within 30 minutes.

Locksmith service in Boise
Boise’s housing stock is stacked by era. Hyde Park and the North End still run older cylinders that bind in January. The Bench and East End mix mid-century houses with rentals that turn over every August. Downtown and the Boise State blocks need doors that open for staff at 7 a.m. West Boise and Harris Ranch are newer, but builder hardware still fails the first winter someone actually uses it.
I'm a third-generation master locksmith and a former law-enforcement officer — so your security comes first. Idaho’s Best named Legacy Locksmiths the statewide locksmith winner in 2023.

When to call a Boise locksmith
Call or text 208-900-8048. We will confirm whether we can take the job and provide a current arrival estimate.
01
You just got the keys to a Boise house
If you closed last week, assume someone else still has a key. A rekey of the exterior doors is the first useful visit — cheaper than replacing hardware that still works.
02
A downtown door will not open for business
Storefronts and offices cannot wait for a shop appointment. We come to the building, including early mornings when opening time is the problem.
03
You are locked out of the house or the car
Home lockouts happen on the Bench at 11 p.m. Car lockouts happen in downtown garages and driveway parks. Have the year, make, and model ready if it is a vehicle.
Keys, lockouts, access control, and more in Boise
The same mobile team. Service is limited to locksmith work we provide.
Access control
For homes and offices that want fewer keys, we service and install access control including iLOQ, Schlage, and PDK, matched to the doors you already have.
Access control service detailsResidential
Most Boise residential calls are lockouts, rekeys after a move, or a deadbolt that no longer lines up with the strike. We install, repair, replace, and rekey residential locks on site, including deadbolts, keypad and smart locks, and master key systems for larger homes. If a lock is worn out, we recommend replacement rather than a rekey.
Residential service detailsCommercial
Downtown and mixed-use buildings need working exit devices, a key plan staff can follow, and hardware that holds up through a busy weekday. We service Boise offices, retail stores, warehouses, and commercial doors — commercial lockouts, panic bars and exit devices, master key systems, high-security locks, and storefront hardware.
Commercial service detailsAuto
Vehicle lockouts, replacement keys, duplicates, broken-key extraction, and transponder or fob work when the car supports it. We come to the vehicle in a driveway, a lot, or on the street. Call with year, make, and model before we dispatch.

How fast can you get to me in Boise?
When you call, we give you a real arrival time. Emergency lockouts across the Treasure Valley, including Boise, are typically reached within 30 minutes. We take emergency lockout calls 24/7. Call or text (208) 900-8048.
Should I rekey or replace the locks on my Boise home?
If the lock still works and you trust the hardware, a rekey is often the faster, more affordable way to make old keys useless — a common first visit after buying a home or turning over a rental. If the lock is worn, damaged, or you want a different style or keypad, replacement may be the better path. We will say so plainly on site.
Can you make car keys or open my car in Boise?
Yes. We come to the vehicle — a driveway, a parking lot, or the street. We handle car lockouts, replacement keys, duplicates and second keys, broken key extraction, and transponder or fob programming when the vehicle supports it. Call or text with the year, make, and model so we can confirm the work before dispatch.

Yes. We service Boise offices, retail stores, warehouses, and multi-door properties — commercial lockouts, panic bars and exit devices, master key systems, high-security locks, and access control including iLOQ, Schlage, and PDK.
