Frequently asked questions
How much does an emergency locksmith cost near me in Merrillville?
There is no single flat rate because the final price depends on several real factors: the type of lock involved (a high-security commercial mortise lock, for example, takes more specialized work than a basic door knob lock), the time of day, how far our mobile unit is from your location, and whether any parts — like a replacement cylinder — are needed. What we guarantee is that our technician gives you a firm, exact price before a single tool is lifted. You approve the number first; then work begins. Call (219) 245-2731 for an on-the-spot estimate.
What is a locksmith call-out fee and does Lake County Pro Locksmith charge one?
A call-out fee (sometimes called a trip or dispatch fee) is a base charge some locksmith companies apply just to roll a truck to your location, separate from the actual service labor. Whether and how that cost is structured can vary by provider. When you call us at (219) 245-2731, our dispatcher explains all applicable costs upfront so you know exactly what the visit will include — no hidden fees revealed after the work is done.
How do I get into my office or commercial building if I locked myself out?
Before calling a locksmith, run through these safe, non-destructive checks: (1) Confirm every exterior entry point — a side door, loading dock, or rear access — is genuinely locked. (2) Contact a co-owner, office manager, or building superintendent who may have a spare key. (3) Check whether your building has a property management emergency line. If none of those resolve the situation, call a professional. Attempting to force a commercial mortise lock or tamper with an electronic access panel without the right tools risks damaging hardware that can cost significantly more to replace than a proper locksmith call. Our trained technicians use non-destructive entry methods wherever the lock condition allows.
Can a locksmith re-key my entire office after an employee leaves or a key is lost?
Absolutely — and it is one of the most important security steps a business can take after a personnel change or key loss. Re-keying changes the internal pin configuration of each cylinder so existing keys no longer work, while new keys cut to the new configuration will. It is far more cost-effective than replacing all of your hardware, and our mobile technicians can re-key an entire suite — including mortise lock cylinders, door knob locks, storage rooms, and padlocks — in a single on-site visit. We can also set up or update a master key system at the same time.
Is it cheaper to call a locksmith or a dealer for a commercial lock issue?
For commercial door hardware — mortise locks, panic bars, access control units — a locksmith is almost always the more practical and cost-efficient choice versus ordering through a contractor or waiting on a facilities dealer. A mobile locksmith carries parts, arrives within the hour, and completes the work in one visit. Dealer or contractor channels typically involve lead times, minimum order quantities, and separate installation scheduling. The comparison is less direct for electronic access systems that are proprietary to a specific brand, where the equipment manufacturer may be required — but for the vast majority of commercial lockout and re-key situations, a skilled locksmith is the right first call.
Do you service commercial properties beyond Merrillville, and how quickly can you arrive?

Dispatch times depend on current call volume and your exact address, but our 24/7 mobile operation means there is always a technician available, day or night, weekday or weekend.
