Locksmiths in Columbus, OH

If it's easy to transport, take it to [Columbus Locksport at the Idea Foundry tonight](https://www.meetup.com/li-columbus/). They'll at least try to open it for free just for the challenge.

Have a drill?

Like /u/cleansoap mentioned, check youtube. If you have a Sentry 1100, it looks like you can open it with a lot of household items, including a penny apparently.

As far as I know Carl Zipf is always the goto locksmith in C-bus. http://www.carlzipflockshop.com/

We used AAD Security Locksmith last week when the latch on my door stopped working, making it impossible to open the back door. She got great Angie's List reviews and did an excellent, affordable job. Her number is 614-596-8436.

also keep in mind Abany Lock and Safe http://www.bbb.org/centralohio/business-reviews/locks-and-locksmiths/albany-lock-safe-in-columbus-oh-70051789/ i went to school with the owners son. Mr. Leopard is legit.

Thanks, everyone, for the recommendations. I'm going to try to get quotes from all three places, and see how that goes.

You can always just buy new locks at Lowe's or Home Depot and switch them out. If you buy the same brand and style, all you need is a screw driver and trade the locks.

Sounds like you're looking for a locksmith. If you just need a copy of your car keys, many hardware stores now do automotive chip keys and FOBs, including [Zettler](https://zettler.doitbest.com/), [Roush](https://roushhardware.doitbest.com/) [ACE](https://www.acehardware.com/), and of course [Lowe's](https://www.lowes.com/) and [Home Depot](https://www.homedepot.com). If you have a more complicated chip key, the [Key Dude](https://www.facebook.com/Keydude-LLC-118907331553157/) has been [recommended](https://www.reddit.com/r/Columbus/comments/44r976/ne_inexpensive_place_to_get_vehicle_key_cut/) by users in the past as an alternative to going through your dealership. If you need a locksmith for just about any other reason (we assume you're asking because [AAA](https://www.aaa.com) doesn't work for your situation), the following are highly rated on Google: [Carl Zipf](https://www.carlzipflockshop.com/), [Snap & Crack](https://www.snapandcracklocksmith.com/) (does emergency lockouts), [All Secured Security Services](http://www.allsecured.net/) (also does emergencies), and [24 Hour Locksmiths](http://www.24hourlocksmithincolumbusoh.com/). If you've got something neat and out of the ordinary, check out the local [Columbus lockpicking group](https://www.meetup.com/li-columbus/) and ask them nicely if they're up to the challenge. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Anyone ever used that place on 5 th in Italian village? Carl Zipf

I took mine to a hardware store and they did two locks for $15.

[Alert Lock](https://www.247 locksmiths.io/local/alert-lock-security-service-216-n-sandusky-st-25363.html) is fantastic. A very nice man named Steve runs it with his son. Steve has saved my ass many-a-times

Lou is the guy. He owns Gahanna Key Service. Tell him I sent you. 614-937-4327.

This guy is good with locks http://www.empireonline.com/images/features/100 greatestcharacters/photos/46.jpg

Too sane. http://www.carlzipflockshop.com/

Cubiclekeys.com. Mail order. Just look at the number on the front of the lock, type it in and POOF...the key will be mailed to you. Also, sorry to ruin the idea that your file cabinet is "secure." In fact, I already ordered the key and have the files ready for you. Just kiddin'.

I'm going to go to Carl Zipf on Monday.

(614) 861-4825. Brians lock service

Mitchell Lock on Taylor Station Rd. That's the most popular person/company on here, but there are a few others that have been recommended.

Carl Zipf **http://www.carlzipflockshop.com/** is the gold standard.

Apartment? Just call your landlord.

I've locked myself out before, too. I decided that a new window would cost less than a locksmith, so I broke back in. No regrets.

Dude, I don't think it's unreasonable at *all* to wait an hour for a locksmith. If he's elsewhere with another customer, what do you expect him to do? Teleport?

Sorry, OP. I only know dishonest locksmiths. I'm glad you got back inside.
