Locksmith Service for Fenton Homes and Businesses
Locks R Us Locksmith provides mobile locksmith service across Fenton, from Old Town by the Meramec River to the subdivisions off Gravois Road and the businesses along Highway 141 and around Gravois Bluffs. We help homeowners, landlords and businesses with lockouts, rekeying, lock repair, lock replacement and new lock installation. If you are standing outside a door right now, start with our urgent lockout response. Fenton sits on the same run as Kirkwood, a few minutes north.
Because our service is mobile, we come to the property rather than asking you to visit a storefront. Call (636) 628-7803 with the address and a short description of what the lock or door is doing, and we will confirm current availability. We are open daily from 8 AM to 10 PM.
A River on One Side, a Factory Town on the Other
Fenton straddles St. Louis County and Jefferson County along the Meramec, and its two halves throw up different work. Old Town sits close to the river, and parts of the city flood often enough that the fire district publishes maps for it. Doors that have taken water behave differently afterwards: timber swells and never quite returns, frames move, and a lock that worked for twenty years suddenly needs a shoulder behind it. We have set out what high water does to doors and locks in full, including a simple test that tells you whether the fault is the door or the lock.
The rest of the city grew around the Chrysler assembly plants, which ran from 1959 until 2009 and are now the Fenton Logistics Park. The housing built for that workforce is now forty to sixty years old, and a great deal of it still carries its original builder-grade locks. Those fail in a predictable way, and usually all at once across a street. In both cases the honest answer is often adjusting or repairing what is there rather than selling new hardware, and we will tell you which it is. Mobile service covers Fenton ZIP code 63026.
What We Do in Fenton
Home Lockouts and Entry Assistance
If you are locked out of a Fenton house, condo or apartment, call with the address and the type of lock. We provide mobile entry assistance and explain the approach before starting, with the aim of opening the door carefully and avoiding hardware replacement you do not need. More on emergency lockout service.
Rekeying After a Move or a Tenant Change
Rekeying is the usual answer after buying a house, changing tenants, or deciding that old keys should stop working. Where the hardware is compatible and sound, we change which key operates it instead of replacing every lock on the property. More on rekeying.
Replacing Original Subdivision Hardware
On Fenton’s older streets we see a lot of locks that have simply reached the end of a long life. Where a cylinder is worn through, a deadbolt no longer throws fully, or the hardware never gave much security to begin with, replacement is the sensible spend. We check the door, backset and bore first so what goes on fits properly. More on residential lock changes.
Lock Repair and Door Alignment
Sticking keys, loose cylinders, latches that miss the strike and doors that need lifting are common here, and after high water they are more common still. We check the door and frame alignment first, repair what can be repaired, and fit new hardware only where repair will not hold. More on lock repair and installation.
Commercial Work on the 141 Corridor
Retail units around Gravois Bluffs, offices along Highway 141 and warehouse and logistics premises on the old plant site all need work done without stopping the day. We handle commercial rekeying, lock repair, hardware replacement and key control, and confirm the doors and access needs before quoting. More on commercial locksmith service.
Smart Lock Installation and Setup
For homeowners and businesses considering keypad or smart-lock hardware, we check door thickness, backset and bore before installation, then set the lock up so it operates properly with the door rather than fighting it. More on smart lock installation.

Local Landmarks We Work Near
- Gravois Bluffs — the large retail and dining district off Highway 141, and the busiest commercial address in the city.
- Fenton Logistics Park — the 295-acre redevelopment of the Chrysler assembly site that operated here from 1959 to 2009.
- Old Town Fenton and the Gravois Road bridge — the original riverside settlement, and the part of the city most affected when the Meramec rises.
- Fenton City Hall — on New Smizer Mill Road, at the centre of the city’s newer civic area.
- The Meramec River frontage — the county line runs through here, and Fenton addresses fall on both sides of it.
What Fenton Jobs Usually Involve
The two most common Fenton calls are a door that has never been right since the water came up, and a house whose locks are all the same age and are now failing one after another. Neither is an emergency, and both get cheaper if they are dealt with before the door stops closing altogether.
When you call, tell us whether the latch strikes the frame or stops short of it. That one detail usually separates an alignment problem from a worn lock, and it decides whether you are paying for an adjustment or for hardware. If the property has flooded at some point, say so — it changes what we expect to find. The full list of towns we reach is on our areas index, and we cover Manchester on the same western routes.
We are based in Ballwin and mobile, so there is no Fenton storefront to visit — we come to the property. Vehicle work is unlocking only. We will go through the likely options before setting off and give you honest timing rather than a number that sounds good on the phone. Open every day, 8 AM to 10 PM.
Fenton Locksmith Questions
My door has stuck ever since the last flood. Is the lock ruined?
Usually not. Timber swells when it takes water and rarely returns to its old shape, so the door and frame move while the lock itself is often fine. We check alignment and the strike plate first. If the lock body has corroded internally it will need replacing, but that is worth confirming rather than assuming.
All the locks in my house are original and starting to stick. Replace them all?
Not necessarily at once. On houses built during the plant years the hardware is all the same age, so when one goes the rest are usually close behind. We will tell you which are worth keeping and which are past it, and rekeying the sound ones to a single key is often part of the answer.
Do you provide locksmith service throughout Fenton?
Yes. We cover Fenton addresses in ZIP code 63026, on both the St. Louis County and Jefferson County sides. Call with the exact address so we can confirm current availability.
What hours are you available in Fenton?
Locks R Us Locksmith is open daily from 8 AM to 10 PM. Call (636) 628-7803 to confirm availability for your location and service.
Can you rekey after I move into a Fenton home?
Yes, where the existing locks are compatible and serviceable. Rekeying changes which key operates the lock without replacing the hardware. Where the hardware is worn out, fitting new locks instead is usually the better spend.
Do you work with businesses around Gravois Bluffs and Highway 141?
Yes. We provide commercial rekeying, lock repair, hardware replacement, installation and key-control service for shops, offices, warehouses and managed properties. Tell us how many entrances are involved and your trading hours when you call.
Can you unlock a car in Fenton?
We provide vehicle unlocking only. We do not cut or replace automotive keys, program transponders, fobs or remotes, or work on ignitions.
Should I repair, rekey or replace my lock?
It depends on the lock’s condition and your goal. Rekeying changes the working key, repair addresses serviceable wear or alignment problems, and replacement is usually the better fit for damaged, incompatible or upgraded hardware.
