About Anne Arundel Lock and Key LLC

We are based in Annapolis and work across Anne Arundel County. That matters more than it sounds: a locksmith who is two counties away cannot help you at 11pm, and a national dispatch line that sub-contracts the job has no interest in whether the door works next month.

Being local also means knowing the housing. An eighteenth-century door in the Annapolis Historic District, a 1970s subdivision in Arnold and a farm property in Davidsonville do not need the same hardware, and we do not pretend they do.

Maryland licenses locksmiths, and unlicensed operators are a genuine problem: they turn up, force a door, charge for hardware that was not needed and disappear. Anne Arundel Lock and Key LLC holds Maryland State Locksmith License #589 and is fully insured.

We publish the number rather than hiding it, because the point of a licence is that you can check it. If anyone turns up at your door claiming to be us, ask for it.

You call, a person answers, and you get a price before anything is touched. If the job turns out to be different from what it sounded like on the phone, you hear a revised price, not a bigger bill at the end.

We ask for proof the property or vehicle is yours. Every time. It is not personal, and it is the same standard we would want at our own door.

We also tell you when you do not need us. A deadbolt that sticks because the door has settled needs an adjustment, not a new lock, and we would rather say so.
