Our services
Automotive, Residential, Commercial Locksmith
Business Locksmith in Novi & Wixom
This area has retail, office parks, and light commercial — not just storefronts on a college campus.
Common business jobs:
Office or storefront lockout
Rekey after an employee leaves
Master key system
Restricted key control
Commercial lock repair
A master key system is the one business owners ask for most. Management gets one key that opens everything. Staff keys only open the doors they need. That matters after turnover, lost keys, or when a suite changes hands.
House Lockouts & New-Home Rekeys
Novi, Wixom, and Northville are heavy on single-family homes. Residential jobs here are usually lockouts and rekeys.
Common house jobs:
House lockouts
Rekeying after a home purchase or lost key
Lock changes
Deadbolt installation
Lock repair
Matching multiple doors to one key
If you just closed on a house in Novi or Northville, rekeying is usually the first step so previous owners’ keys no longer work. If the hardware is in good shape, the locks can be rekeyed. If a lock is worn, cheap, or damaged, that lock can be replaced instead.
Typical residential call: Homeowner in a Novi subdivision, just moved in, wants every exterior lock on one key and the old keys dead.

Frequently asked questions
Do you come to all three cities?
Yes. Novi, Wixom, and Northville are all part of the same service area. We come to driveways, parking lots, houses, and businesses in all three.
What do you need before you come out for a car key?
Year, make, and model. For many vehicles we also need the VIN, and for some all-keys-lost jobs we may need the title or proof of ownership.
Do you work nights and weekends?
Yes. Call to confirm the soonest available arrival window. Emergency lockouts and key fob jobs are often handled outside normal business hours when a technician is available.
What if I lost every key?
We can usually cut and program a new key or fob at the car. You’ll need the vehicle information, and in some cases the VIN and title or proof of ownership before we can complete the job.
Can you program a key fob in a driveway or parking lot?
Yes. Most of these jobs are completed on site at the vehicle.
Do you rekey offices and retail spaces in Novi?
Yes. We also set up master key systems so management can open every door while staff keys only open the doors they need.
Do I need an appointment?
Call first. We’ll confirm the job, what information we need, and give you an arrival window.
How long does a job take?
Most jobs take about 30 minutes to a few hours, depending on the scope. A basic car lockout is usually on the shorter end. Key fob programming or all-keys-lost work can take longer depending on the vehicle.
I just bought a house in Novi. Should I rekey or replace the locks?
Rekey if the locks still work and you just need the old keys to stop working. Replace any lock that is damaged, worn, or low-security. A lot of new homeowners in Novi rekey the exterior doors right after closing.
Can you make all the house doors work on one key?
Yes, if the lock brand and keyway allow it. We’ll check that on site and tell you what options you have.
Will you damage the door on a house lockout?
We use non-destructive methods whenever possible. The goal is to get you inside without replacing the lock unless it’s necessary.
