It's never just about the key. It's about what that key protects - your family, your car, your business. At J & B Auto Locksmith, we've spent over two decades helping Rockville residents and business owners stay secure, prepared, and one step ahead of trouble. From basic rekeying to high-security commercial lock installations, we cover every kind of lock and every kind of key. If it turns, slides, clicks, or needs a code - we handle it.
This isn't just a "locksmith" page. This is the core of what we do every single day. If you're looking for "lock and key near me" or wondering if there's someone in Rockville who can rekey your whole home after a roommate moves out - that's us. Here's a deeper look at our services:
Sometimes it's a clean break - you lost your only key. Other times, the problem sneaks up on you. Your front door lock starts sticking, your key doesn't feel quite right, or a tenant says their lock isn't catching. These are the kinds of things we hear every day. Our team is trained to diagnose and repair issues quickly, whether it's a worn-out cylinder, stripped pins, or just plain old age. If it makes more sense to rekey instead of replace, we'll tell you. If you need a new lock, we'll install it cleanly, with no mess and no damage to your frame or door.
You don't have to tow your car to a dealership just to get a new key or fob. We bring the solution to your parking lot, driveway, or curb. Our vans are stocked with key blanks, fob shells, transponder chips, and all the programming equipment. Whether you drive a Toyota, Honda, Ford, Chevy, or something newer with a push-to-start button, we'll get your keys replaced or repaired on the spot. We even help when you've locked your keys in the trunk, snapped your key in the ignition, or left the fob inside a running car. No need to panic - just call us.
We get this question all the time: "Do I need to change the whole lock, or can I just rekey it?" Here's the deal. Rekeying changes the inside pins so your old key no longer works - it's faster, cheaper, and often just as effective as replacing the hardware. We recommend rekeying after moving into a new home, changing staff at your business, or dealing with lost or stolen keys. But if the lock is damaged, worn out, or outdated, a replacement may be smarter. We'll explain both options clearly and help you decide what makes sense for your budget and your security goals.
If you're managing an office, clinic, school, or storefront in Rockville, you need more than just keys - you need control. We install and maintain master key systems, restricted keyways, and high-security locks that keep you in charge of who has access. We can rekey locks after staff changes, upgrade panic hardware, and install keypad or card access systems. We know your business doesn't have time for downtime, so we respond quickly and work around your schedule when possible.
We don't just show up and drill locks. We take time to understand your needs, explain your options, and get it done right. No damage, no guessing, no pushy upsells. We're based right here in Rockville, not a call center 80 miles away. That means faster response times, better prices, and accountability that matters. We work on homes, apartments, offices, restaurants, schools, retail stores, and everything in between.
Whether it's a spare key for your new apartment, a deadbolt for your back door, or a complete rekey after changing staff, we're the lock and key experts your neighbors already rely on. No job is too small. No request is too strange. We've seen it all, fixed it all, and we're ready to help you too.
