Got lock questions? You're not alone. Whether you're locked out, rekeying after a move, or wondering how key fobs work, we've heard it all. Here are the most common questions people ask Locksmith Chantilly - along with some honest answers from the field.
It depends on the job. Most calls start with a service fee, and the total varies based on the type of lock, time of day, and what needs to be done. At Locksmith Chantilly, we give a ballpark up front and confirm everything before we start.

Sometimes there's a small after-hours fee, but we'll always tell you before sending someone out. At Locksmith Chantilly, there's no bait-and-switch pricing.
Rekeying is usually cheaper and just as effective if your current locks work fine. Locksmith Chantilly can change the pins inside so old keys stop working. If the hardware is damaged or outdated, we may recommend replacement instead.

Deadbolts, knob locks, lever handles, smart locks, mortise locks - if it locks, we've probably fixed or replaced it. We also help explain which types of locks work best in Northern Virginia weather.
