What Drives the Price

A basic car or house lockout where the lock opens cleanly starts at $95. Rekeying a set of house locks, cutting a transponder car key, or dealing with a lock that's been forced or jammed costs more, up to $295 or higher, because it takes extra parts or time on site.

We give you the number before any work starts, not after.

Getting to You Off Peninsula and Southern State

South Hempstead sits directly south of Hempstead village near Southern State Parkway's exit 19 at Peninsula Boulevard, and most calls route in off that exit or along Peninsula itself. Because there's no LIRR stop here, the housing grid is built for cars, which actually makes it easier for our tech to park close to your door and get to the lock fast instead of hunting for a spot near a station.

Before the Truck Arrives

Have a photo ID and, if it's your car, some proof it's yours (registration or insurance card) ready for the tech. If you're locked out of a house built in the 1930s through 1950s, common in this area, let us know if the lock looks original; older mechanisms sometimes need a different pick set than newer hardware, and knowing ahead saves time on site.

Local Coverage, Not a Call Queue

We cover South Hempstead (11550) and the surrounding hamlets of Hempstead, Rockville Centre, West Hempstead, and Lakeview with the same mobile team, not a dispatch center reading from a map. Since 2009 we've worked these streets enough to know a Cape Cod lock from a Colonial Revival's, which matters when you're standing outside in the dark waiting on someone who knows what they're doing.
