A key that won't turn is diagnosed on site, not guessed at.
Transponder keys cut and coded on the spot for most makes and years.
Push-button start fobs paired to your car with dealer-grade equipment.
Remotes with worn buttons or dead boards replaced and programmed in one visit.
A second key takes minutes now and saves a lockout later.
A locksmith opens doors and cars for people who are entitled to be inside them, makes and programs keys, rekeys and replaces locks, and installs and services door hardware for homes and businesses. In High Point that's a mobile trade: the technician comes to the door, the car or the building with the tools and stock on board, and the work is done there. There's no counter to bring a lock to.
What it isn't: a guide to how locks are defeated. A good locksmith doesn't explain that, on the phone, on site or on a website, and this one won't.
Lockouts. House, apartment, car, office. The technician confirms you're entitled to be inside, then gets you in without damaging the door or the car. Car keys. Lost, broken, or a spare, cut and programmed at the car for most makes. Rekeying and lock changes. New house, lost key, tenant turnover, or hardware that has worn out. Commercial. Storefront hardware, master key systems, closers, panic bars, rental turnovers.
Around High Point and Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Burlington those four make up most of the week, in roughly that order.
You'll be asked where you are, what you're locked out of or what needs doing, and whether anyone is in a hurry or at risk. You get an arrival time, and the technician calls again when close. On arrival: ID first for any lockout, then a look at the lock or the car, then a plain description of what it needs and what it takes. Nothing starts until you've said yes, and no is a complete answer.
If you'd rather not talk, the form on this page reaches the same dispatch and they call you back.
The good ones ask for ID before opening anything, tell you what the job is before doing it, name their company on the phone the same way it's written on the vehicle, and don't say one thing and bill another. The bad ones arrive in an unmarked car, won't say which company they are, drill a lock that didn't need drilling, and produce a number at the end that nobody mentioned at the start. A local name that answers to a local number is the simplest filter there is.
Ironwood Locksmith Services is a local company in High Point. The technician who comes out works for us, and the phone reaches our own dispatch.
Residential is the house: front door lockouts, deadbolts, rekeys after a move, keypads, patio and garage-entry doors. Automotive is the car: lockouts, keys cut and programmed, fobs, ignitions that won't turn. Commercial is the business: storefront locks, office hardware, panic bars, closers, master key systems that give the owner one key and each tenant or employee only theirs. One technician usually covers all three; the stock on board is what changes.
Apartment buildings sit in the middle: tenant lockouts, mailbox locks, unit rekeys between tenants, with the landlord's say-so where it's needed.
Any locksmith can open any lock the same way. Doors and locks vary, and knowing which you have is most of the skill. Locksmiths damage the door to get in. Not a good one; damage is the last resort, not the first. You're better off breaking a window. A window is more to fix than a lock, and a locksmith is on the way anyway. The lowest number in the ad is the best deal. The lowest number is usually the one with the surprise at the end.
Yes, on every lockout. Photo ID against the address, or the registration for a car. If the ID is inside, there are other ways to confirm it and the technician walks you through them.
Yes. Ironwood Locksmith Services is based in High Point, the technicians are ours, and the number on this page rings our own dispatch.
Yes. The technician looks at the lock or the car, explains what the job is, and waits for your yes.
No, and we'd be wary of anyone who does. It's the one thing the trade keeps to itself.
