Locked out of your house in Calera, Alabaster, Montevallo, or anywhere in the metro area? Metro Locksmith Services sends a mobile locksmith directly to your door. We use professional, non-destructive entry techniques, so in the vast majority of house lockouts the lock is opened without any damage at all.
Just Moved In? Rekey Every Exterior Door
When you buy or rent a home, you have no idea how many copies of the old keys are floating around. Previous owners, builders, contractors, and neighbors may all have had one. Rekeying is the affordable answer: we change the pins inside your existing locks so only your new keys work. It costs far less than replacing every lock and can usually be done for the whole house in a single visit. It matters most in growing communities like Calera, Chelsea, and Alabaster, where so many homes are new construction.
Home Security Upgrades
From Grade 1 deadbolts to keypad and smart locks, we help homeowners across Shelby, Chilton, and Jefferson counties upgrade their security. We look at your doors, frames, and strike plates, the weak points burglars actually exploit, and recommend practical fixes instead of upsells.

Residential Locksmith FAQs
Can you unlock my house without damaging the lock?
Yes. We use professional non-destructive entry tools and techniques for house lockouts, so in nearly all cases your lock and door are untouched and your existing keys keep working.
Should I rekey or replace my locks after moving in?
If your locks are in good condition, rekeying is usually the smarter choice. It makes all old keys useless at a fraction of the cost of new hardware. If the locks are worn, damaged, or low quality, we'll recommend replacement and show you your options.
Can all my doors work off one key?
In most homes, yes. If your locks share a compatible keyway, or we install matching hardware, we can key every exterior door alike so a single key opens them all.
Do you install smart locks I bought myself?
Yes. We install and program customer-supplied smart locks, and we can also supply the lock and advise on which models hold up best.
