Snellville, Georgia
Those two sentences cover the overwhelming majority of what Snellville calls us about. One is happening to you right now and one is a decision you are making. They need different answers, so this page keeps them apart.
Two different problems
They both involve a locksmith and a front door, and that is where the similarity ends.
The lock works perfectly. You are simply on the wrong side of it. Speed is the whole priority and there is nothing to plan.
Nothing is broken and nobody is stuck outside. You have decided that a particular key, or an unknown number of keys, should stop working.
It is common to need both in the same visit — opened first, then rekeyed. Mention it when you call so we arrive prepared for the second half.
Timing
Call. Do not work through a form. Tell us the address, what is locked and whether anyone vulnerable or any pet is shut inside.
Booked work gets a better price and a better outcome, because there is time to confirm exactly what hardware is on your doors.
Situations
How it works
People often assume rekeying means swapping the lock for a new one. It does not. The lock stays exactly where it is, on the door you already have, looking exactly as it did.
Inside a standard cylinder sits a stack of small brass pins of varying heights. The correct key lifts each of them to precisely the right level and the cylinder turns. Rekeying means taking the cylinder apart, replacing those pins with a different combination of heights, and cutting a new key to match. From that moment the old key lifts the pins to the wrong heights and the cylinder will not turn.
That is why it is the right answer for an access problem. You do not have to find every copy, prove who has one, or ask anybody to hand anything back. Every key cut before today simply stops working, and it costs far less than replacing the hardware.
Coverage
Snellville is in southern Gwinnett County, along the US 78 corridor south of Lawrenceville. We work there as a mobile locksmith service — the van comes to the house or the vehicle, and there is no Snellville counter to visit.
Give us the address and, for a vehicle, where exactly it is parked. That single detail removes the most common source of delay on a lockout call.
Questions
Avoiding damage is the point of calling a locksmith rather than forcing the door. In the large majority of residential lockouts the door, frame and lock are all still fully serviceable afterwards.
Something that connects you to the address — photo ID showing it, a lease, a utility bill or ownership paperwork. We ask on every job, and it is the same check that stops anyone else having your door opened.
Tell us when you call. It affects how we prioritise the job. The same applies if a child is inside or if anything is cooking on a stove — say it in the first sentence.
Almost always, because you keep the hardware you already own. Replacement is for locks that are damaged, worn out, or below the security grade you want on that door.
Usually yes, if the cylinders share a compatible keyway. Where one is different, replacing just that cylinder is normally cheaper than changing every lock in the house.
Yes. We are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, on (678) 585-6089.

The details that matter depend on whether this is a vehicle, a home or a business.
Never share alarm codes, PINs, access-control credentials or passwords — a locksmith does not need them to quote your job.
