Our Mobile Locksmith Services: Solving Every Lock Challenge

At My Locksmith Express, we don’t just handle lockouts—we’re your one-stop shop for all residential, commercial, and automotive locksmith needs. Here’s a closer look at how we can help:

Emergency Lockout Services: When Time Is Critical

Lockouts happen to the best of us—and they rarely occur at convenient times. A parent locking their keys in the car with a sleeping child inside. A business owner arriving at 6 AM to find their storefront lock broken. These scenarios demand immediate action. Our 24/7 emergency team specializes in non-destructive entry, meaning we’ll unlock your car, home, or business without damaging doors, windows, or locks. We carry tools like air wedges, slim jims, and professional lock picks to safely access your property, and we’ll even cut you a spare key on the spot to prevent future mishaps. Over the past 5 years, we’ve resolved over 10,000 emergency lockouts in Charlotte—with a 98% customer satisfaction rating.

Automotive Locksmith Services: More Than Just Keys

Modern cars come with advanced security systems, and traditional key cutting won’t cut it. Our technicians are trained to work with transponder keys, smart keys, keyless entry systems, and even high-security ignition locks. Lost your car key? We can program a new one on-site, avoiding the need for expensive dealer visits. Have a broken key stuck in the ignition? We’ll extract it and replace the lock if needed. We service all makes and models, from domestic trucks to luxury European cars—so no matter what you drive, we’ve got you covered.

Residential Lock Services: Protecting What Matters Most

Your home is your sanctuary, and its security starts with a reliable lock. We offer a range of residential services, from rekeying old locks to installing cutting-edge smart locks. If you’ve just moved into a new home in Matthews or Mint Hill, rekeying your locks is a cost-effective way to ensure previous owners or tenants can’t access your property. For homeowners looking to upgrade, we recommend smart locks like Yale or August, which let you control access via your phone and track who enters your home. We also install deadbolts, window locks, and patio door locks—because every entry point deserves protection. Pro tip: Did you know that 34% of burglars enter through the front door? A high-quality deadbolt can deter 80% of break-in attempts.

Commercial Lock Services: Securing Your Business

Businesses in Charlotte and Pineville face unique security challenges. A restaurant with multiple staff keys, an office building with restricted access floors, or a warehouse with valuable inventory—all require tailored lock solutions. We install and maintain access control systems, which let you manage employee entry with key cards or biometrics. We also design master key systems, so you can grant different levels of access to staff (e.g., managers vs. interns) without carrying a ring of 20 keys. For emergency situations, like a broken exit lock during a fire drill, we offer same-day repairs to keep your business compliant and safe. Our commercial clients include local cafes, medical clinics, and even the Charlotte Convention Center—so you can trust us with your most critical security needs.

We Serve Charlotte & Its Suburbs: Local Expertise, Local Care

As a Charlotte-based business, we take pride in knowing our community. We don’t just list suburbs—we understand their unique needs:

• Charlotte (Uptown, South End): Busy urban areas with high foot traffic. We handle many car lockouts near restaurants, bars, and office buildings, and we specialize in smart lock installations for condos and lofts.
• Matthews: A family-friendly suburb with tree-lined streets. Most of our calls here are for residential rekeying and emergency home lockouts (often after kids lose keys!).
• Pineville: Home to Carolina Place Mall and many commercial parks. We’re the go-to locksmith for retail stores, offices, and warehouses needing access control systems.
• Mint Hill: A mix of rural and suburban areas. We often assist with farm gate locks, shed security, and automotive lockouts on backroads.
• Ballantyne: An upscale neighborhood with luxury homes. We install high-end smart locks and perform security audits for homeowners looking to upgrade.
• Huntersville: A growing community with new construction. We work with builders to install locks in new homes and help homeowners rekey after construction.

No matter where you are, we’ll arrive with a smile, a free estimate, and a commitment to getting the job done right the first time.
