We get it. Locks and keys aren't exactly the stuff of dinner party conversations. But when something goes wrong, suddenly you've got questions. At Diamond Auto Locksmith, we've heard it all - from "how do I unlock my car with a hanger?" (don't) to "can you rekey my entire house today?" (yes). Below are real questions we hear every week, answered straight up by the folks who do this for a living.

In Gaithersburg and surrounding areas, our average arrival time is under 30 minutes. We've unlocked cars in shopping center parking lots, apartments off Quince Orchard Road, and even at the Wawa on 355.
Absolutely. Our emergency locksmith service is 24/7. We don't clock out when you need help most. Rain, shine, or random Tuesday night panic - we're on it.

There's a surprising variety. Deadbolts, smart locks, mortise locks, keypad locks - each with its pros and cons. If you're not sure what you have (or need), we can walk you through it on-site.
Yes, when installed and set up properly. Most keyless locks offer user codes, audit trails, and auto-locking. Diamond Auto Locksmith installs and supports several secure keyless systems that blend safety and convenience.

Happens more than you'd think. We extract broken keys and repair or replace the ignition if needed. One guy in Gaithersburg called us after his toddler snapped the key off mid-nap. We had him back on the road before the kid woke up.
We do full commercial setups - from standard deadbolts to access control systems. Offices, storefronts, clinics, and warehouses. Diamond Auto Locksmith is who other businesses in Gaithersburg call first.
