Learn about ALOA → (opens in a new tab)No bait and switch pricing
You get a clear quote before any work begins, and the price on site matches that quote. No surprise trip fee, no charge that appears only after the lock is open. If the job turns out to be different from what you described, we tell you before we start, not after.
How to get a quote →Identification checked every time
We ask for photo identification plus proof of ownership or residence on every entry job, with no exceptions. It protects your property from anyone who might call us about it, including on a day when you are not the one calling.
What happens on arrival →The customers we serve every week
Different situations, the same standards. These are the kinds of work our six bases handle across Eastern Connecticut.
Drivers and vehicle owners
Keys locked in the car, a lost set with no spare, a fob that stopped working, or an ignition that will not turn. We cut and program at the vehicle, so a tow to a dealership is usually unnecessary.
Homeowners and renters
Doors that latch behind you, locks worn out after decades, and rekeys after a move, a lost key, or a change of tenants. Old keys stop working the moment the job is done.
Landlords and property managers
Turnover rekeys between tenants, often several units in a single scheduled visit, which costs less than separate trips and keeps a property ready to let.
Storefronts and offices
Commercial lockouts handled immediately, plus planned work such as master key systems, panic hardware, and door closers, scheduled around trading hours.
Visitors and seasonal residents
The shoreline fills up from spring through autumn, and so do the lockout calls. Rental vehicles, holiday cottages, and beach parking are routine work for the Groton and East Lyme bases.
Anyone facing an urgent lockout
A child or a pet shut in a vehicle, or a running car with the doors locked, moves to the front of the dispatch queue. Say so when you call and we prioritise it.
Companies whose vehicles and premises we service
Alongside homeowners and drivers, we handle fleet and facility work for national operators with vehicles and sites across Eastern Connecticut.
Company names and logos are the property of their respective owners and are shown to indicate the fleet and facility work we carry out. They do not imply any endorsement or partnership beyond the services we provide.
The credentials themselves
Two of the claims above have documents behind them. Here they are, rather than a badge asking you to take our word for it.
Questions worth asking any locksmith
These apply to us as much as to anyone else. If a locksmith cannot answer them plainly, call someone who can.
How do I know a locksmith is legitimate before they arrive?
Check three things. First, does the business have a real address you can find on Google Maps, rather than only a phone number. Second, does the phone quote match the price on site, and will they put it in writing before starting. Third, will they ask you for identification and proof of ownership. A legitimate locksmith always asks, because opening a door for the wrong person is the risk they are most careful about.
Why does asking for my identification prove the locksmith is legitimate?
Because a business that skips the check is telling you it will open your property for anyone who calls. We ask for photo identification plus proof of ownership or residence, such as a vehicle registration, a lease, or a utility bill, on every entry job without exception. That step protects you far more than it inconveniences you.
What is locksmith bait and switch pricing?
It is when a caller is quoted a low figure on the phone, often around nineteen or twenty nine dollars, then charged far more once the work is done, with the difference explained as a service call, a trip fee, or a drilling charge. The Connecticut Attorney General has published guidance on this practice. Our position is simple: you get a clear quote before any work begins, and the price on site matches the quote you were given.
Are you a real local business or a national call centre?
We operate six verified physical locations across Eastern Connecticut, each with its own Google Business Profile, its own address, and its own customer reviews. You can find every one of them on Google Maps before you call. A national dispatcher cannot show you that, because it does not have it.
What does ALOA aligned mean?
The Associated Locksmiths of America publishes the trade's professional standards for ethical conduct, training, and workmanship. We follow those standards in how we quote, verify ownership, choose entry methods, and complete work. You can read what those standards require directly on the ALOA website.
