Locked out? Key snapped off? Car fob acting weird again? At Gill Bro Emergency Locksmith, we've seen it all - and fixed it all. We're a small, mobile-first locksmith team based right here in Arlington, VA, and we specialize in fast, dependable help without the upsell games or corporate coldness. You need a locksmith who shows up, knows what they're doing, and treats you like a neighbor - not a number.
We don't just say we're local - we live it. Whether we're replacing locks in Clarendon, rescuing drivers locked out near Ballston, or helping a family rekey their new townhome in Shirlington, we know the area like the back of our key-cutting van. We handle lockouts, rekeys, key fob programming, lock repairs, and a bunch of other services that fall under "you didn't plan for this today" emergencies.
Our vans are stocked, our tools are modern, and our locksmiths are trained to handle everything from old-school deadbolts to smart locks and transponder car keys. If it locks, we unlock it - or fix it, rekey it, or replace it. We also work with high-security brands like Medeco for homeowners and businesses that need more than just the basics.
We offer a full suite of locksmith services in Arlington and nearby areas. Here's what we handle daily:
We've helped people with everything from a key stuck in lock on a Sunday morning to a full lock replacement after a move-in. Whether it's urgent or routine, we treat every job like it matters - because it does.
It happens. You're rushing, your arms are full, and suddenly - where's your car key? Worse, maybe you're asking, "how do I get a replacement car key without the original?" We've got you covered. Our car key locksmith pros can cut and program most car keys on the spot, including high-tech transponder key systems and keyless entry fobs.
Need a new remote or fob for your car? We offer key fob programming near me with zero dealership hassle. No tow truck, no waiting days for a part to come in. We come to your location, test it, sync it, and make sure you're ready to go.
Late-night lockouts happen. So do mid-morning "I slammed the door and my keys are on the kitchen counter" moments. No worries - Gill Bro is ready for those too. We specialize in fast, non-destructive entry. That means we get you back inside without drilling through your lock unless there's truly no other way.
We answer calls 24/7 and cover all of Arlington VA. Whether you're near Courthouse, Pentagon City, or up in Lyon Village, we know the fastest way to get to you - and we don't keep you guessing on price or arrival time.
Moved into a new place? It's always smart to rekey. You never know how many keys are floating around from contractors, property managers, or the previous owners. Our residential locksmith services make that simple. We rekey locks, install fresh hardware, or even upgrade your doors to digital entry systems or Medeco high-security options.
We work with landlords, renters, homeowners, and real estate agents who need clean, reliable lock work fast. If you've got a closing coming up and need the locks changed before move-in, give us a call - we handle last-minute requests all the time.
We may be a small team, but we know how to handle big jobs. Whether you're running a shop on Wilson Blvd or managing a whole office complex, we offer locksmith near me support that keeps your doors secure and your keys organized. From panic bar installations to master key setups, we've done it for offices, restaurants, salons, and clinics across Arlington.
We can also help with key management plans, Medeco commercial lock solutions, and key duplication setups for rotating staff. Need us after hours? No problem - our schedule is flexible, just like your business needs.
Think we just handle door locks and car keys? Think again. We also repair and replace garage door locks, emergency release systems, and broken key cylinders. If your garage remote isn't working or you've got a manual latch that won't budge, we can help. One Arlington homeowner in Bluemont called us after their garage lock jammed shut with their lawnmower and tools stuck inside. We had it open and rekeyed in under an hour - and even fixed the crooked latch that caused the issue in the first place.
Garage security is just as important as your front door. Whether you need a keyed lock repaired, a padlock removed, or you're dealing with a broken emergency release handle, Gill Bro can help get things rolling again - literally. We'll get your gear out, your door moving, and your garage secure, without drilling or damaging your property.
Just last week, we had a panicked call from a dad in Aurora Highlands - his toddler had locked themselves in a bathroom with a deadbolt. We were there in 12 minutes and had the door open without damage in less than two. No drills, no trauma, just relief. Another night, we got a call from a delivery driver whose transponder key wouldn't start his van in Crystal City. A quick reprogram and he was back on the road before his next route.
These are the kinds of things we do every day. No gimmicks, no bait-and-switch. Just real help, real fast, from a team that actually cares.
We're not trying to be the biggest locksmith company in Virginia. We're focused on being the best one for Arlington. That means honest pricing, fast responses, local knowledge, and no shady business. Some people search for names like "Prime Locksmith - VA" or national chains - but what they really want is someone who actually lives here, works here, and picks up when they call.
With Gill Bro, you always talk to a real human. No call centers. No endless phone trees. Just friendly pros who know locks, know Arlington, and get the job done.
Whether you need help right this minute or you're planning ahead for a weekend rekey, Gill Bro Emergency Locksmith is here. We're proud to serve our Arlington neighbors with reliable, friendly, and professional service - day or night, rain or shine.
Save our number. You might not need a locksmith today, but when you do - you'll be glad you called Gill Bro.
