Before We Get There
- Tell us the year, make and model, and if it's a truck or an SUV.
- Retrace your steps once. Keys often turn up near a bench or the playground.
- If your house key was on the same ring, tell us. We can rekey that lock too.

Good to Know
- Can you make a key for a pickup truck? Yes. We cut and program keys for domestic and Asian trucks.
- I live out past town on a country road. Will you come? Yes. Give us the address and any landmark that helps us find you.
- Can you get me into the house and make the car key on one visit? Yes. Tell us both when you call.
- It's below freezing and my keys are inside the locked car. What should I do first? Sit in a warm spot nearby and call us at (443) 527-1442. We use lockout tools made for car doors, so nothing gets scratched or broken.
- The old lock on our older house jammed with me outside. Can you open it? Yes. Older locks can usually be picked or bypassed. When the lock itself is worn, a replacement can go in on the same trip.
- Why did the town change its name? William Winchester founded it in 1764 as Winchester's Town. It took its present name in 1768, because mail kept going to Winchester, Virginia, by mistake.
- Our rental car's only key went missing while we were visiting family in town. Are rentals something you handle? Yes. Opening rental cars and making new keys for them is part of our work, on a street or in a lot. Have your driver's license and the rental agreement with you, and we can get started.
