Locked your keys in the car? Fob stopped working? Key snapped off in the ignition? It happens to just about everyone at some point - and usually at the worst possible time. At Columbia Locksmith, we specialize in fast, mobile car locksmith services across Columbia, MD and the surrounding towns. We come to you, fix the problem, and get you back on the road - no towing, no dealership hassle.
Most people only think about a car locksmith when they're locked out. But we do a whole lot more than that. If it involves your car keys, locks, ignition, or remote system, we can handle it. That includes:
We work with nearly every make - Toyota, Honda, Ford, Nissan, Chevy, Kia, Hyundai, Dodge, VW, BMW, and more. And we don't need the original key to make a new one. All work is done on the spot from our mobile locksmith vans.
Whether you lost the key entirely or it just stopped working, we can cut and program a new one on the spot. You'll be driving again before most people could even reach a dealership service line.
One of our regulars is a delivery driver in Elkridge who keeps two fobs because he once dropped his only key inside a storm drain behind a gas station. We cut him a new one that day, programmed it, and now he has a spare we keep on file for him. Another customer at the Target off Snowden River Parkway called us after locking their toddler and keys in the car. We were there in 12 minutes, got the door open in under 90 seconds. No damage, no delay.
Here's the thing: dealerships don't usually handle lockouts, and when they do, it's expensive and slow. You have to tow the car, schedule an appointment, and wait days for a key. With us, you skip all that. We come to you, do the work while you wait, and the price is usually lower.
We also help with those annoying "my fob just died" moments. If your push-start car won't recognize the key, we can replace the battery, reprogram the fob, or get you a new one if needed.
Yes. We can decode the lock and cut a new key, then program it to your vehicle if needed. You don't need to bring anything to us - we bring everything to you.
It varies by vehicle. Basic keys can be $75-$125. Fobs and smart keys range from $150 to $300, depending on the model. We give you a fixed quote before we start. No guessing.
Yes. We extract the broken piece, inspect the ignition, and either repair or replace it if needed. We'll also make you a working key right then and there.

Most of our customers are surprised that we can do the same work as the dealership - just faster and for less.
