Locksmith in Ellisville, MO
Mobile Locksmith in Ellisville, MO
Ellisville is as close to home as it gets really. Locks R Us Locksmith is based in Ballwin just to the east of you so we’re one of the quickest to get to Ellisville addresses on a normal day. We cover the whole of the subdivisions off Clarkson Road and Kehrs Mill Road, the shops and offices along Manchester Road and everything in between for lockouts, rekeying, lock repair, replacement and installation. If you’re standing outside a door right now then you’ll want to get our urgent lockout response.
Because our service is mobile, we come to your property instead of asking you to visit a storefront. Call (636) 628-7803 with the address (home or business) and what the lock or door is doing. We are open daily from 8 AM to 10 PM.
Houses That Have Been Updated in Pieces
The most common thing we come across in Ellisville homes is a mixture. A front door lock that was replaced ten years ago, the back door still on the original hardware, a garage door entry from somewhere in between and three keys on the ring as a result of none of them actually matching. Each of the changes was perfectly sensible at the time they were made. Taken together they result in a house with absolutely no idea of who can open what.
That’s usually fixable in one visit. Where the locks are compatible we can get them on a single key; if one is a different make or a lower grade we’ll simply say so rather than try to force it. If the lock is worn out or was never really a very good lock in the first place then replacing that one is often the easy bit of the job. Mobile service covers Ellisville ZIPs 63011 and 63021.
What We Do in Ellisville
Residential Locksmith Services
Getting Mismatched Locks Onto One Key
This is the Ellisville job. If the existing hardware is compatible and sound then rekeying will put the front, back, k and garage doors on the same key and retire all the old keys at the same time. It’s the right thing to do after a move-in or any change in who has the keys. More on rekeying.
Lock Changes and Replacement
When the hardware is damaged, worn through, or simply weaker than the rest of the house, replacement is the only sensible option. We check the door, backset, and bore first to ensure the new lock will fit and match the others the way you want. More on residential lock changes.
Lock Repair and Door Alignment
Sticking keys, loose cylinders, a bolt that catches, a latch that doesn’t strike the strike (i.e., the latch not engaging properly) et,, etc., may be the lock or the door, and the fit will differ depending on which. Look at the whole assembly, not just the lock. More on lock fitting and installation.
Smart Lock Installation and Setup
Whether a keypad or smart lock will fit depends on the door, the backset, the existing bore, and how the latch is currently behaving, not what the box says. We check before you buy, we install it, and we set it up. More on smart lock installation.

What Ellisville Jobs Usually Involve
Ellisville being next door to our base means we get a lot of the little jobs around here that aren’t worth the long drive to another location. A sticking lock, a door that won’t sit right, a key that needs copying to a different door. You’d call about all of those rather than live with them.
The big Ellisville jobs are usually about tidying up years of piecemeal changes (multiple lock brands on one house, keys you can’t account for, a back door that was never as secure as the front door). We work west from here into Wildwood and east into Manchester and Chesterfield on the same routes; every area we go into is on our index.
We’re mobile, so there’s no Ellisville storefront to visit; we come to the property. Our technicians are all licensed and insured. We only do vehicle unlocking (we don’t cut or replace car keys, program fobs or remotes, or work on the ignition). We’re open every day from 8am to 10pm.
Ellisville Locksmith Questions
My doors all take different keys. Can they be made to take the same key?
Usually yes. Where the locks are compatible, we rekey them so one key operates all of them, which also retires all the old keys in circulation. If one door has a different make or a different (weaker) grade of lock, we’ll let you know whether it’s worth rekeying that one to match the rest or whether it’s better to replace it.
How long does it take to get to Ellisville?
Ellisville is one of the closest towns to our Ballwin base, so it’s typically one of our shortest trips. That said, timing still depends on where we are when you call. We’ll give you the straight answer on the phone rather than a number that sounds good.
I bought a smart lock. Will it fit my door?
It all depends on the door thickness, the backset, the existing bore, and how the latch actually works (none of which the box can tell you). Send us a photo of the door edge and the current lock before opening the box, and we’ll let you know whether it will work with that door.
Do you work with businesses on Manchester Road?
Yes, we do commercial rekeying, lock repair, hardware replacement, installation, and key control for shops, offices, and managed properties. Just let us know your trading hours and which entrance it is, and we’ll fit the job around them.
Can you unlock a car in Ellisville?
We do vehicle unlocking only. We don’t cut or replace car keys; program transponders, fobs, or remotes; or work on ignitions.
