At Carey Hardware - Locksmith Services, we know emergencies don't make appointments. You might be stepping out to grab the mail, running late for a meeting, or coming home after a long shift - and then, bam, the door won't open. Keys locked inside. Fob not working. Lock jammed tight. We've been there (and helped hundreds of folks who have too). That's why our emergency locksmith service is available 24/7 - rain, shine, holidays, middle of the night - we're on call and close by.
Our team is based in Baltimore, and when you search for a "24-hour locksmith near me", there's a good chance we're already helping someone just a few blocks away. Whether it's your car, your house, or your business - if it locks, we unlock it.
Some companies say "we're in your area", then dispatch someone from another county. Not us. We're Baltimore born-and-raised, and we know this city from Edmondson Village to Dundalk. That means we don't get lost, we don't take an hour, and we don't need GPS to find you. We also know how stressful a lockout is - especially in the rain, in the cold, or late at night. That's why we treat every call like it's urgent. Because it is.
Just last week, a nurse from Pikesville called us after a double shift. She'd left her keys inside the apartment and was exhausted. We got there in 18 minutes. She was in bed 10 minutes after that.
Emergencies don't care what kind of lock it is. Good thing we do. Our technicians carry the tools to open just about anything - safely, without damage, and without making things worse. We're talking:
We don't come out with a crowbar. We come with experience. Whether it's a high-security deadbolt or a tricky push-to-start ignition, we've got you.
We once helped a college student in Towson who lost her dorm keys during finals week. She was locked out, panicking, and afraid she'd miss a test. We were there in 12 minutes. Opened the door, made a spare, and wished her luck (she aced it, by the way).
Another time, a delivery driver in Glen Burnie called us at 4:30am. He'd stopped for coffee and locked his keys - and phone - in the car. He borrowed a clerk's cell and got us on the line. We arrived, popped the lock, and he made his next stop on time. Not every hero wears a cape, right?
Our vans are stocked for any situation - and yes, they're real vans, not just a guy in a hatchback with a screwdriver. We carry fob programmers, key cutters, lock picks, smart lock gear, and more. That means when we show up, we're ready to solve the problem - not just look at it.
Lost your only car key? We can make you a new one on the spot. Locked out of a keypad entry? We know how to bypass it without destroying your door. Keys snapped in the lock? We've got the extractors and the patience to get them out cleanly.
People sometimes apologize when they call - "I know this is dumb...", "It's probably my fault..." - but let us stop you right there. Getting locked out happens to everyone. It's not about blame - it's about getting back inside. We're friendly, calm, and never condescending. You'll feel better the second we pick up the phone.
And don't worry about the time. If it's 2am and you're standing in your slippers, we'll treat it like a regular Tuesday afternoon call. Because for us, it is.
Our emergency coverage includes Baltimore City and surrounding areas - Towson, Glen Burnie, Columbia, Ellicott City, Rockville, Laurel, Hyattsville, Silver Spring, Annapolis, Bel Air, and beyond. Wherever you are in the Baltimore metro, chances are we're already nearby.
Emergencies don't wait, and neither do we. When you're locked out, stressed out, or just out of luck - Carey Hardware - Locksmith Services is one call away. We're here for Baltimore 24/7, ready to bring you peace of mind, one lock at a time.
