Locksmith Hobart: Mortise Locks, Mobile Service & Everything In Between

From the quiet tree-lined streets near Lake George to the busy commercial corridor along Third Street, Hobart residents and business owners rely on Lake County Pro Locksmith for fast, skilled locksmith service delivered right to their door. Our fully equipped mobile units are dispatched from nearby Merrillville, putting a trained technician at your location — whether it's a home on a residential side street or a shop in the Festival of the Lakes district — typically well within the hour. We handle everything from a straightforward door knob lock replacement to a full mortise lock installation on a historic downtown storefront, and every job gets the same careful, professional attention. There are no gaps in our coverage: we answer calls 24/7, every day of the year, because lock emergencies don't keep business hours.

Our service menu goes well beyond basic lockouts. We work on mortise lock systems — the deep, body-style locks found in older Hobart homes and commercial doors — with the precision those mechanisms demand. We also program transponder and smart keys, rekey entire properties after a move or break-in, install and service high-security deadbolts and panic hardware, and help homeowners and businesses upgrade to access-control solutions that fit their specific security goals. When you call (219) 245-2731, you reach a live dispatcher who gathers the details of your situation, confirms an upfront price based on factors like the lock or vehicle type, time of day, travel distance, and any parts required, and then sends the right technician — never a subcontractor — your way.

Why a Fast Emergency Locksmith Response Matters in Hobart

Hobart has a small-town feel, but that doesn't mean its residents are immune to the security challenges that come with modern life. A car lockout in a parking lot near the Festival of the Lakes grounds after dark, a broken mortise lock on a rental property off Route 6, or a jammed door knob lock on a lakeside cottage — any of these situations can go from inconvenient to genuinely unsafe in minutes. That's precisely why response time isn't just a selling point for us; it's a core part of the service. Our insured mobile technicians know Lake County roads, and they carry the tools and parts to resolve most residential, commercial, and automotive locksmith calls in a single visit. No waiting for parts to be ordered; no second trip.

Being close matters in other ways, too. When you're locked out of your home, the first instinct might be to check for an unlocked window or a spare key with a neighbor — and we'd always encourage you to safely exhaust those options first. But if you're stuck, calling a local emergency locksmith is the smart next step. Our technicians verify ownership before any work begins, treating your property with the same respect they'd give their own. Once on-site, they assess the lock, confirm the scope of work and the exact price, and proceed only with your go-ahead. That transparent process is how we've built trust across Hobart's neighborhoods, from Southgate to the Lake Shore area. Call us any time at (219) 245-2731 — we answer 24/7.

Protect Your Valuables: Safe Sales, Commercial Locksmith Services & More for Hobart

Security in Hobart isn't just about locks on doors. Lake County Pro Locksmith is proud to offer a curated selection of top-of-the-line safes to protect what matters most — cash, documents, jewelry, firearms, and irreplaceable heirlooms. We carry and can source industry-respected lines including Fort Knox Safes, known for their heavy-gauge steel and pry-resistant doors; AMSEC Safes, engineered for both fire protection and burglary resistance; and Browning Safes, a favorite among Hobart homeowners who need dependable long-gun and handgun storage. For businesses on Third Street and throughout Hobart's commercial zones, we also supply and install Deposit Safes designed for high-volume cash handling — the kind of drop-slot units that streamline end-of-shift reconciliation while dramatically reducing internal theft risk. Every safe we recommend is matched to the specific threat level, floor space, and budget conversation of the customer — and as always, pricing is confirmed upfront with no surprises.

On the commercial side, our commercial locksmith capabilities extend far beyond safe installation. We service and replace mortise lock sets on multi-tenant buildings, install panic bars and exit devices that meet current building code requirements, rekey master key systems for property managers, and program key fobs and electronic access credentials for office suites. Hobart businesses that have updated an older building's door hardware know how dramatically a quality mortise lock upgrade can change both security and daily convenience. Our technicians bring the same depth of knowledge to every commercial call that they bring to residential work — and all of it is backed by our insured, no-subcontractor guarantee. Whether you need one lock rekeyed or an entire commercial property re-secured, Lake County Pro Locksmith is the Locksmith Hobart businesses and residents call first. Reach us any time at (219) 245-2731.

“Sorry if my review is long, but it will be worth your time to read it..... Upon deciding that we wanted a home safe to protect a variety of assets, I started calling safe retail dealers.  Most companies new the safes weight but offered no real guidance on our needs.  With some dealers you had to even find your own movers and again, limited help weighing all the safe options.  In short, we need to figure out our needs on our own and then call back once ready to place an order. Now meet Brandy's Safe and Lock, Inc. in Merryville, Indiana.  On their website, they had a safe that I thought would work.  They are about 1.5 hours from our house, and we decided to head there way.  Due to traffic (bad accident), we would be late and they closed at 5:30pm cst.   However, Raymond Brandy said he would wait.  I promised to run in, see the light blue safe that was in stock, and if we liked, I would buy it.  We arrived at 5:35pm cst. Upon seeing the light blue safe, it did not meet our needs.  However, Raymond did not rush us out as they were closed and now the time was 5:50pm cst.  He stayed over one hour after closing (6:50pm cst) and gave us an education as to how to evaluate our needs.  He then pointed us to the Fort Knox website configurator and said go home, determine where you want the safe to be located and then configure a few. We went home and spent the weekend configuring a few Fort Knox Safe options.  These sample configurations when to Raymond and then he called me on Tuesday.   We spent one + hours on the phone discussing the pros and cons of each safe within our budget.  Again, Raymond than challenged me to sleep on our ideas as there was no rush.  Which ever safe I custom ordered would not arrive until mid Q1 2026.  Also, he had me take videos of the two spots we wanted the safe live at once in our house.  After we reviewed the two spots together, he recommended spot #2 and he reasons made total sense. Once we felt we had the perfect safe configured, we then met live at their store again on October 24, 2025 to place the order.  We doubled checked everything, again zero pressure to hurry up, and then we placed the order.  About 6 weeks after the order was placed, I had a shelf configuration idea and Raymond loved it.  Guess what, Brandy's made it happen. On February 11, 2026, safe was delivered.  Raymond and team spent 1.5 hours driving each way to my home and then 3 hours on site moving the safe into my house and setting everything up.  Four professionals that did not damage a thing and all so nice to chat with as I watched them move our massive safe into our house.  Padding/Wood on the floor to disperse the weight and then slow/steady as I watched the Brandy's team muscle this 2,200 + lbs safe into the spot we picked out.  Perfect job gentleman (Bryan, Tony, Gilbert, and Raymond)...!  Then Bryan did a great job training us and even helped me move back an area rug and coffee table. Finally the installation team made sure everything was clean and buttoned up before they left. Bottomline, Brandy's Safe and Lock, Inc. is the best and we are so happy we met Raymond Brandy and his team.  They exceeded our expectations and we LOVE our Fort Knox Safe...!”

“I called Friday to schedule an appointment for our business and Monday morning right on time, Brandy's showed up to replace a deadbolt, rekey it to existing keys, and while he was here, he fixed our door jamb and also rekeyed the handleset too. Friendly, professional, goes the extra mile! Absolutely will call again. -- Chad from Dunes Hospice.”

“This had been a long two-day journey. I ordered the key from Amazon no one in Northwest Indiana would even cut the key. So I came here !!! It was two chips in the keys. I was able to partially program one of the uncut keys. Which would unlock and lock the doors. They had to program it the rest of the way. Thank GOD. Best old-school customer service ever. Very professional very happy with total experience.”

“Bryan, Tony, and Gilbert were extremely polite, professional and skilled at their work, they made a very tough task look easy. I will recommend Brandy's for purchasing/moving a safe over anyone in NWI.”

Frequently asked questions

How much does an emergency locksmith cost near me in Hobart, IN?

There is no single flat rate because several factors shape the final price: the type of lock or vehicle involved (a standard door knob lock differs significantly from a multi-point mortise lock system), the time of day the call comes in, the travel distance to your location in Hobart, and whether any specialized parts are needed. What we guarantee is full transparency — our dispatcher gives you an exact price before our technician begins any work, so there are never unexpected charges on your bill. Call (219) 245-2731 and we'll walk you through the specifics of your situation right away.

What is a locksmith call-out fee, and does Lake County Pro Locksmith charge one?

A call-out fee (sometimes called a service or trip fee) is a charge some locksmiths apply simply for dispatching a technician to your location, separate from the labor and parts. When you call us at (219) 245-2731, our dispatcher will explain exactly how our pricing is structured for your specific job in Hobart — including any dispatch component — so you have a complete, confirmed quote before we roll. No hidden line items after the fact.

How do I get into my house if I locked myself out in Hobart?

Start with the safest and most straightforward options: check whether another door or window is unlocked, contact a family member or trusted neighbor who may have a spare key, or reach out to your landlord if you rent. If none of those pan out, calling a professional locksmith is the correct next step — attempting to force entry yourself risks damaging the door, the frame, or the lock mechanism, which can cost considerably more to repair than a standard lockout call. Our insured technicians serve all of Hobart 24/7 and will verify your identity and ownership before proceeding. Call (219) 245-2731 any time.

Can a locksmith program a Nissan key, and do you cover Hobart?

Yes — our mobile automotive locksmiths program transponder keys, smart keys, and key fobs for Nissan vehicles as well as most other makes and models on the road today. We come to you anywhere in Hobart, so there's no need to arrange a tow to a dealership. Programming requirements vary by Nissan model and year, which is one reason the final price depends on the specific vehicle details — but you'll have a confirmed quote before any work begins. Call (219) 245-2731 and have your VIN and proof of ownership ready.

Is it cheaper to call a locksmith or a dealer for a car key in Hobart?

The honest answer is: it depends on the vehicle. Dealers have OEM (original equipment manufacturer) access for certain key types, but that often comes with higher labor rates, appointment wait times, and the cost of towing your vehicle to them. A qualified mobile locksmith can handle the majority of key programming and replacement jobs on-site at your Hobart location, eliminating the tow and frequently the extended wait. Rather than comparing on price alone, consider total cost — including your time and any towing fees. Call us at (219) 245-2731 and we'll give you a transparent quote so you can make a fully informed decision.

What should I expect when a Lake County Pro Locksmith technician arrives at my Hobart home or business?

Our technician will identify themselves, ask to see proof of identity and — for residential or commercial calls — verify your right to access the property. They'll assess the lock or security situation, explain exactly what the job entails (for example, whether a mortise lock can be serviced in place or needs to be replaced), and confirm the final price before touching anything. Once you approve, they get to work using professional-grade tools and, where appropriate, hardware brands like Schlage or Kwikset. When the job is done, they'll walk you through what was done and answer any questions about maintaining your new or serviced lock going forward.
