Your home is where you unwind, sleep, raise kids, cook dinner at midnight, or just binge shows until 2am. It should always feel safe. But when the lock jams or the key disappears, that calm goes out the window. That's where we come in.
At Harbor Emergency Locksmith, we help Baltimore homeowners and renters fix lock problems fast - from emergency lockouts to fresh installs, rekeying, and smart lock upgrades. No sales scripts. No mystery pricing. Just real help from locals who know the city and the locks that live in it.
We get it. You were juggling groceries, your phone slipped, the door closed behind you. It happens all the time. What matters is that we can get you back in without drama - or damage. No broken doors, no guilt trips, just a quick unlock with the right tools and some experience behind it.
We handle lockouts across Baltimore 24/7. Apartments in Canton, townhouses in Towson, brownstones in Mount Vernon - if there's a stuck door with someone stuck outside, we're on the way.
If you just moved in, had a break-up, or your last roommate left in a rush, the smart thing to do is update your locks. But here's a tip: you don't always need new hardware. A rekey service changes the lock cylinder so old keys no longer work. You keep the same hardware, save money, and sleep better.
Need new keys that match all your locks? We can often rekey your whole home to a single key. Way easier than the three-key juggle most folks live with for years.
Sticky deadbolt? Handle sagging? That one door that only opens if you jiggle it just right? You shouldn't have to fight your locks every day. We fix door hardware that's wearing out, binding, or misaligned before it fails completely.
When repairs aren't enough, we carry top-quality replacements on the truck. Not big box cheap stuff - real locks that hold up. And yes, we install them cleanly and check for proper fit, strike alignment, and smooth turn every time.
If you're tired of hiding a key under the planter or texting the dog walker from work, it might be time for a keypad or smart lock. We install keyless entry systems that work with codes, fobs, or even your phone. No more key copies. No more lockouts.
These aren't just gadgets. They're secure, tamper-resistant, and easier to use than most people think. And if you ever want to switch back to a physical key, many have traditional backups built right in.
The Nighttime Lockout: A couple in Charles Village got locked out after walking the dog. One of our techs arrived in 18 minutes, unlocked the door quietly, and even handed the guy back his flashlight.
The Landlord Upgrade: A landlord in Hampden asked us to rekey six units between tenants. We rekeyed them all to separate keys, and master keyed the back hallway and basement for the cleaning crew.
The Smart Lock Setup: A homeowner in Fells Point wanted to control entry for their cleaner and dog walker. We installed a smart keypad lock with two unique codes, plus notifications when they're used. It paid for itself in peace of mind.
We don't just unlock and rekey. We handle a range of other home lock needs:
If it has a lock, we probably work on it. And if it doesn't lock but should - we'll fix that too.
We start with a flat-rate service call, and everything else is quoted before work begins. No surprises, no upsell games. A typical house lockout runs $85 - $150. Rekeying starts around $25 per cylinder. If you're doing multiple locks, we offer bundle pricing on-site.
We don't just change locks. We restore peace of mind. Whether you're standing outside without a key or planning a full home security upgrade, Harbor Emergency Locksmith is the team Baltimore homeowners call when they want it done right.
