Your home is your safe place. But when the front door lock sticks, your key breaks, or you lose track of who has a copy, it's time to call a professional. American UT Emergency Locksmith is here for homeowners across Alexandria, VA who want secure doors, reliable keys, and friendly service that shows up on time.
We've helped families in Old Town, Landmark, Del Ray, and Seminary Hill keep their homes secure. Whether you just moved in or it's time to upgrade to keyless entry, we're your trusted residential locksmith near you. Fast response, honest prices, and work done right the first time.
We handle just about everything that can go wrong with locks and keys in your home. Services include:
We use only quality brands like Kwikset, Schlage, Yale, and Medeco. Whether you want basic security or a full smart lock upgrade, we make sure it's safe, smooth, and secure.
There are lots of locksmith services out there. But not all of them understand the quirks of homes here in Alexandria. Our technicians live and work in the same neighborhoods you do. We know the typical lock types in brick rowhomes, garden apartments, and townhouses. That local know-how helps us work faster and smarter.
Plus, we're always clear with pricing, arrive when we say we will, and respect your home. We wear clean uniforms, explain every step, and never leave a mess behind.
Yes. If you're tired of losing keys, changing locks every few years, or worrying who might have a copy, upgrading to a smart lock is a smart move. We install top-rated keyless entry systems that work with your phone or a simple keypad. Many even let you create temporary codes for guests, dog walkers, or deliveries.
No more hiding keys under mats. No more rekeying. Just secure, keyless access that gives you control.
A couple in Rosemont had just moved into a house and weren't sure who had old keys. We rekeyed four exterior doors and added a deadbolt to the basement walkout. Peace of mind in one visit.
Another client in Del Ray wanted keyless entry. We recommended and installed a Yale smart lock with PIN access and app control. Now she can check if the door is locked and grant access remotely, all from her phone.
In Landmark, a single mom was locked out after school drop-off. She called us at 7:30 a.m., and we had her back inside before 8. No damage, no stress, just fast help when she needed it.
If the locks are in good shape, rekeying is usually enough. We change the pins inside so old keys won't work. It's faster and cheaper than full replacement. But if the hardware is damaged or outdated, we'll recommend replacing it.
Most home jobs take 30 to 90 minutes, depending on how many locks you have. We'll give you a clear time estimate before starting, and we always work efficiently to respect your time.
We like Schlage Encode, Yale Assure, and Kwikset Halo. Each offers great security and flexible features like remote control, auto-locking, and user codes. We'll help you pick the one that fits your needs and budget.
