Auto Locksmith, Charlotte, NC
We offer 24/7 auto locksmith services, including emergency lockout assistance in Charlotte.
Being locked out of your car can be a scary and a dangerous experience. If you attempt to open the doors yourself, you risk damaging your car and set yourself up for very expensive repairs. In a situation such as this, every minute counts, and you need a professional auto locksmith to assist you.
At Eastway Lock & Key, Inc., we offer 24/7 auto locksmith services, including emergency lockout assistance, car key replacement, chip key programming, car lock rekeying, key duplication and more!
- Car Key Replacement – Do you have a habit of misplacing your car keys? Most all of us have lost or misplaced our keys at one time or another. Our locksmiths can provide replacement keys for most car lock models on the market, including car chip keys, VATS and transponder keys.
- Car Key Duplication – Most of the new cars today use transponder keys. A transponder is an electronic device with a unique ID number programmed into the car’s computer. Ours is one of the few auto locksmith companies in the Charlotte area that is able to clone transponder keys. Your car dealer can also assist you, but they will charge you far more than we will.
You SAVED my day!
“I just have to brag about an experience I just had with Daniel at Eastway Lock and Key, Inc. I locked my purse, keys and phone in my trunk while loading groceries. Several people were trying to pop my door open with no luck. LIKE THE LOCKSMITH ANGEL THAT HE IS, Daniel walked up out of nowhere, offering to help, and within minutes, I was in my car and on my way home. Thank you, Daniel -- you SAVED my day and my groceries!!!”

Fantastic experience with Eastway. Highly recommend. They came out initially for urgent call on a Sunday night and were timely. Our technician that eventually completed the repair of our locks was Rebecca, who was absolutely fantastic. Cannot say enough great things- knowledge, professional, and efficient. Undoubtedly the best customer service and repair service experience I have ever had. She is a gem! Highly recommend- Eastway does customer service the right way!

Alex from Eastway Lock and Key was fantastic to work with! I needed quick help on a property that we evicted a tenant at. Alex and Eastway Lock and Key communicated quickly and efficiently throughout the whole process.Alex called ahead, was right on time, and worked quickly at the property. Alex was a pleasure to chat with and easygoing as he went about the job. While I hope to never evict someone again, I do look forward to future opportunities to work with Alex and Eastway Lock and Key!

I went to Eastway Lock & Key to get a copy of a motorcycle key. The staff was friendly and helpful. Plus, they got the key made quickly. The new key was better quality than the original and the cost was comparable to what you might pay at the big box stores. Don't hesitate to pay them a visit for your keys and locks.

Could not recommend Eastway Lock & Key more! My door wouldn't open to my condo, and Eastway had someone out there very quick. When faced with a tricky lock, Jacob was persistent, kind, and got the job done. Definitely will be using them for any future lock needs!

Excellent experience. They helped us find the model of our unique door handle which had been discontinued, and provided a link to buy it on eBay. Unfortunately the eBay order was missing one of the parts, but Eddie the technician was still able to get the door handle installed and working! They wanted to do their best to avoid more parts ordering and appointments for us, and Eddie really went above and beyond in his care for the work he did. Made us feel very valued as a customer. Highly recommend Eastway and Eddie!

I highly recommend Eastway lock and key. The company provided exceptional service that begin with the dispatcher who work with me to determine what I needed and rescheduled my appointment so that I would have time to actually purchase it. The technician Alex was very thorough. He had to work with Three different locks, one touchpad, and two Wi-Fi enabled locks that all had to be re-keyed to a common key. He also replaced the touchpad lock. He accomplished this in a very short period of time. He was very knowledgeable and pleasant to work with..

Well, the other day my doorknob was seriously threatening to run away from home. Then got defiant when I tried to make it stay. And after 20 minutes of trying to reason with it to no avail, I gave up. I said to myself, "I've got something for you." Early the next morning, I called Eastway Lock & Key. I spoke to a very courteous and knowledgeable woman who told me that they could get someone out ASAP. She also told me pricing and that she'll give me a call as soon as someone is dispatched. Well, they sent Andrew my way, who was prompt, efficient and friendly. He not only told the doorknob that this was it's home whether it liked it or not, but also reinforced the importance of being cooperative. Thanks, Eastway Lock and Key. And a super duper thanks to Andrew.
