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!

 

Testimonial

“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!!!”

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.

Thought I had a lock out, but was just a jammed door. Tech was out within 1 hour of my call, was courteous, professional and since we truly were missing the key the tech rekeyed our storage building to prevent future issues.

I just left Eastway Lock & Key and had a pleasant customer service experience with Tristan Fields. He provided me with fast and accurate service. His demeanor was very friendly, professional and helpful! I have used Eastway Lock & Key in the past and their service and products have never failed or disappointed me. I've had numerous key making mistakes from Lowe's and Home depot that's why I choose Eastway Lock & Key. With time being so precious, it's always nice to know that when I come here I'll receive an accurate product! Tristan was great!

I've never had them cut a key that didn't work. Over 100 keys easily because I'm in Real Estate. Yes, they charge a little more than HD or Lowe's but those have an 80-90% fail rate in my experience. Buy local. Support small business. If you do happen to get a bad key/s they will gladly recut new ones for you. Bet you a dollar that never happens though.

These guys are serious about security. As a new homeowner taking over a Medeco lock system, I was appropriately required to present ID, deed, and release from previous owner in order to have duplicate keys made. Tristin was pleasant and efficient in completing the procedure.

So glad a friend told me about Eastway Lock and Key because I come here for all of my key copying needs. Tristin was so pleasant, professional and helpful plus he made 5 copies for me in record time! They sell great key accessories especially key rings of various sizes. I highly recommend them and appreciate their quality service.

I called about mid-morning needing a new deadbolt. Very friendly answer. After a few questions, they told me I could get my deadbolt rekeyed instead of a new lock. That saved me money which I greatly appreciated. Alex called a little after 1pm the same day and said he was able to come to my home then. We pulled in at the same time and within 30 minutes, I had my deadbolt rekeyed along with six new keys! Alex was very nice and professional. He was even able to take my old key and make it unlock the newly rekeyed deadbolt! I thought that was awesome because that particular key was a really cool design. Thank you, Alex! Thank you Eastway Lock & Key! You really made my day!

I had such a great experience in this mom and pop business where they treat you like you matter! I have a small chest that is a family heirloom. I never lock it because I don't have the key but a friend accidentally closed the lock. After many months, and many keys I tried, I finally brought the box in to Eastway. After some inspection, he figured out that the lock only needed to be pressed, and the lid would pop open! We both had a good laugh, and he sent me off, no charge. Would definitely patronize these guys again if I have the need!!
