Lockouts, Rekeying and Door Repair in Kirkwood

Locks R Us Locksmith provides mobile locksmith service throughout Kirkwood, from the shops and offices around downtown and the historic Kirkwood Train Station to the residential streets near Geyer Road, Big Bend Road and Essex Avenue. We help homeowners, property managers and businesses with lockouts, rekeying, lock repair, lock replacement and new lock installation. If you are standing outside a door right now, our urgent lockout response is the quickest place to start, and we run the same routes a few minutes west in Manchester.

Because our service is mobile, we come to the property rather than asking you to visit a storefront. Call (636) 628-7803 to explain the lock or door problem and confirm current availability. We are open daily from 8 AM to 10 PM.

A Historic Downtown and Long-Settled Streets

Kirkwood mixes a walkable historic downtown with established residential streets throughout the rest of the city, so we see everything from older front doors and worn deadbolts on long-settled blocks to storefront cylinders and office suites near the train station. We assess the existing lock before recommending a practical option: changing which key turns the cylinder when the hardware is serviceable, restoring a sticking latch or a worn lock body when it can be repaired, or replacement when the hardware is worn, damaged or no longer fits the security goal.

Our services include residential and commercial lock work, emergency entry assistance and compatible smart-lock installation. For vehicles, our automotive service is limited to unlocking the vehicle; we do not cut or program automotive keys, transponders, fobs or immobilizer systems. Mobile service is available in Kirkwood ZIP code 63122. We are based in Ballwin and travel here, rather than working from a Kirkwood storefront.

What We Do in Kirkwood

Home Lockouts and Entry Assistance

If you are locked out of a Kirkwood home, condo or apartment, call us with the property location and lock type. We provide mobile entry assistance and explain the available approach before work begins, with the goal of opening the property carefully and avoiding unnecessary hardware replacement. More on emergency lockout service.

Residential Rekeying After a Move or Key Change

Rekeying is often the practical choice after moving into a Kirkwood home, changing tenants or deciding that old keys should no longer work. Where the existing hardware is compatible and in good condition, we change the key operation without replacing every lock. More on rekeying.

Residential Lock Changes

A lock change may be appropriate when hardware is damaged, outdated or no longer matches the security level you want. We review the door, backset and existing hardware on Kirkwood homes and install a compatible replacement. More on residential lock changes.

Lock Repair and Installation

Sticking keys, loose cylinders, misaligned latches and worn door hardware do not always require a full replacement. We inspect the lock and door alignment, repair serviceable components and install new hardware when repair is not the dependable option. More on lock repair and installation.

Commercial Lock Service Near Downtown Kirkwood

The shops, restaurants and offices around downtown Kirkwood often need work done without closing for the day. We handle commercial rekeying, lock repair, hardware replacement and key control, and confirm the doors and access requirements first so the job fits trading hours. More on commercial locksmith service.

Smart Lock Installation and Setup

For homeowners and businesses considering keypad or smart-lock hardware, we check door and lock compatibility before installation. Older doors in particular do not always suit every smart lock, so it is worth confirming the fit before you buy. More on smart lock installation.

What Kirkwood Jobs Usually Involve

Much of Kirkwood was built long before the hardware standards we work to today. Doors have been rehung, frames have settled, and a good share of the calls we take here turn out to be alignment problems wearing the costume of a lock problem. That matters to what you get charged: adjusting a strike plate is a different job from replacing a deadbolt, and we would rather tell you it is the cheaper one.

So when you call, tell us what happened, roughly how old the door is, and what the lock is doing. Kirkwood sits between our western routes and the city itself, so we also take calls across the line into St. Louis proper and just south of us in Sunset Hills, and the full list of towns we reach is set out on our coverage map.

We are mobile, so there is no Kirkwood storefront to visit — we come to the property. Vehicle work is unlocking only. We will not promise you an arrival time before we have looked at the day’s schedule, because a time we cannot keep is worth nothing to you. Open every day, 8 AM to 10 PM.
