You close the door, hear the click, and realize your keys are inside. Or maybe your front lock won't turn no matter how hard you jiggle the key. Sometimes, it's a car that won't start because the fob battery died - and you don't have a spare. These things happen, and not just once in a lifetime. At Burke Locksmiths, we handle situations like this every single day. We're based right here in Burke, and when you call, we don't ask for your ZIP code - we usually already know the street.
We offer full locksmith services for homes, vehicles, and businesses across Burke, VA. Whether you need to get back inside, make a new key from scratch, or upgrade your locks, we can help - 24/7, rain or shine. People come to us when they want things handled fast, without the runaround.
Getting locked out is frustrating, and it always seems to happen when you're already late, tired, or carrying groceries. We respond quickly and unlock homes, businesses, and cars without damage. Most of the time, you'll be back inside in minutes. We don't guess - we use the right tools for the job and open locks the smart way.
We recently helped a family on Burke Centre Parkway who were locked out with their two toddlers inside. We had the door open safely in under 10 minutes, no damage, no drama. It's that kind of work we do all the time.
Emergencies don't wait for business hours. That's why our phones don't go silent at night. We run a true 24/7 locksmith near me service covering Burke and nearby areas. If it's 2 AM and you can't get into your home, or your commercial lock is jammed right before opening, we'll be there.
Searching for a "24/7 locksmith near me"? You found one. We handle lockouts, broken key extractions, urgent lock changes, and more. We've even helped customers during snowstorms and late-night power outages. If it's urgent, call us - we'll be on the way.
Losing your only car key can feel like the end of the road. Good news: it's not. We can make a replacement car key on the spot, even if you don't have a copy. That includes transponder keys, smart keys, and fobs.
We once helped a Burke resident who dropped their keys in the lake during a fishing trip. They had no spare, and the dealer told them it would take 3 days. We came out, cut a new key from the VIN, programmed the transponder, and had them back on the road the same afternoon.
Wondering what a transponder key is? It's a key with a microchip inside that talks to your car's computer. Without the right chip, the car won't start. We carry the tools to program and clone these keys - including for brands like Toyota, Honda, Ford, Chevy, and more.
Just bought a new home? Renting out a place? Not sure how many copies of your old key are floating around? Rekeying your locks is one of the simplest ways to boost security. We take your existing hardware and change the pins inside, so old keys no longer work - and you get a fresh set.
If your locks are outdated or showing signs of wear, we can install new ones entirely. We stock trusted brands and can upgrade you to keypads, smart locks, or high-security options like Medeco. Medeco locks are pick-resistant, drill-resistant, and only allow key copies from authorized locksmiths like us.
Short list of when rekeying makes sense:
Car keys wear out. Ignitions fail. Fobs stop responding. We handle all of it. Our mobile automotive locksmith service covers Burke and nearby areas - we come to your location and get things fixed on the spot. No towing. No dealership wait times.
We've unlocked cars stuck at Target, programmed new keys outside the Burke VRE station, and repaired broken ignitions in school parking lots. Whether you locked your keys inside or need a fresh remote, we'll sort it out quickly and affordably.
Need a backup key for your teenager's car? We can clone the original and give you both peace of mind. All it takes is one call.
Running a business means thinking about safety, even after hours. We help Burke businesses with everything from basic lock repairs to full security upgrades. That includes:
We recently overhauled the entry system for a daycare near Rolling Valley. They needed better key control, and we installed keypad locks that allow temporary codes for staff and vendors. If your setup feels outdated or vulnerable, we can walk you through better options.
This one's more common than people think. Maybe the lock is stiff, the weather turned cold, or the key is just worn out. If your key is stuck and won't come out, don't yank it. That's how they break off. We can remove it cleanly and check whether the lock needs adjusting or replacing.
Most times, we can get things working again without replacing the whole lock. If we do need to replace it, we'll show you what went wrong and give you some options that make sense for your door and budget.
We cover every part of Burke, including:
Our locksmiths are always on the move. If you're within 20-25 minutes, we can usually get to you the same day - often within the hour for emergency locksmith calls.
