Services We Provide in Albuquerque

The Lock Shop provides security services in Albuquerque, NM for homes, vehicles, and businesses throughout the metro area and beyond.

Car Lockout Services

Locked out of your vehicle? Our technicians use non-destructive entry techniques on all makes and models, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

 

Mobile Locksmith

A mobile technician from The Lock Shop can reach you anywhere in the Albuquerque area. Our fully equipped service vehicles aim for an approximately 30-minute response time so you are not left waiting. 


Commercial Locksmith

Business security requires more than a standard deadbolt. The Lock Shop installs master key systems, access control systems, and high-security locks, and handles emergency commercial lockouts. 


Residential Locksmith

Home lockouts, lock rekeying, new lock installation, and keyless entry setup are all handled on-site. Rekeying is a cost-effective way to restore security after a move or lost key without replacing the entire lock.


Transponder and Car Key Services

Our technicians cut, program, and replace transponder keys and key fobs for most makes and models. No dealership visit required.


Key Duplication and Replacement

Need a spare for your house, vehicle, or specialty lock? We cut keys on-site, so you leave with a working copy the same day.


Keyless Entry Systems

Smart lock installation and setup for both residential and commercial properties. We help you choose the right system and get it working the first time correctly.


Roadside Emergency and Jump Starts

Beyond lockouts, The Lock Shop also offers roadside emergency assistance, including jump starts, making us one of the few local providers who can handle multiple roadside needs in a single call.
