At Eastway Lock & Key, Inc., we offer 24/7 auto locksmith services, including emergency lockout assistance, car key replacement, chip key programming, car lock rekeying, key duplication and more!

  • Car Key Replacement – Do you have a habit of misplacing your car keys? Most all of us have lost or misplaced our keys at one time or another. Our locksmiths can provide replacement keys for most car lock models on the market, including car chip keys, VATS and transponder keys.
  • Car Key Duplication – Most of the new cars today use transponder keys. A transponder is an electronic device with a unique ID number programmed into the car’s computer. Ours is one of the few auto locksmith companies in the Charlotte area that is able to clone transponder keys. Your car dealer can also assist you, but they will charge you far more than we will.

You SAVED my day!

“I just have to brag about an experience I just had with Daniel at Eastway Lock and Key, Inc. I locked my purse, keys and phone in my trunk while loading groceries. Several people were trying to pop my door open with no luck. LIKE THE LOCKSMITH ANGEL THAT HE IS, Daniel walked up out of nowhere, offering to help, and within minutes, I was in my car and on my way home. Thank you, Daniel -- you SAVED my day and my groceries!!!”

Excellent
My husband and I were purchasing some safes for our nieces for Christmas. Tristan was extremely helpful in guiding us in the right direction. He is very knowledgeable and has made sure the safes are not damaged and working like they should. I would definitely do business again with Eastway.
I accidentally got locked out of my basement and the Eastway team came quickly to the rescue! Alex was super quick and went the extra mile to fix deadbolt too! Thank you so much!
Tristin was awesome. Had a European lock for my boat with no key. I brought the lock in to the Charlotte store, and Tristin figured it out and made me keys in about 20 min. Great service.
Alex came out to my house to change some exterior locks and help me with internal door locks and knobs. My house was built in the 30's, so it was important to me to keep the original knobs but still have the locks functioning. He did an incredible job, and I am so grateful for the time and attention that he gave my home! I would happily use them again!
Top notch guys and the best of the best. Jason was extremely helpful and courteous. He is the best!
Incredible customer service

STEPHAN not only did a great job helping me out, but explained everything along the way.

If you ever need any help with safes or locksmith, this is the only place you should go
Great folks to work with. We were able to get a huge safe for a fraction of what it would cost brand new. Thanks a bunch!
Nick & Alex came within an hour of my call to replace a door lock. They were friendly and very professional. They throughly explained the issue and quickly replaced it. I highly recommend their services.
🙏🏾💝Most recent service from Alex, offering additional services after some work done by Tracy. He came in quickly got the job done as we needed to change our HVAC filter. He got the job done. There was a little confusion with the pricing however once I called the office, an outreach was made to him corroborating what I had been quoted the day before by Jennifer, the Office Manager. I would appreciate everyone being on the same page about the pricing beforehand to eliminate confusion as well as foster unity, transparency, trust as well as fairness to each other.
Alex was great! Very efficient and timely. Thank you!
Had an issue with opening my safe so I gave these guys a call explained what was going on and within an hour they came out and helped me fix the problem. Absolutely great service and great people to deal with. If anyone ever needs them you will be happy with their service and prompt arrival. Thanks again for the speedy response!!!
Reached out to Eastway Lock & Key to re-key a bunch of locks in our new home...they came out the same day and Alex was quick and efficient with the process - he took care of everything in less than 2 hours. Will definitely use again.
Alex came to our home twice, first to rekey our doors and then to replace some broken hardware. He was courteous, fast, and a great communicator. Highly recommend Alex and Eastway Lock and Key!
Contacted Eastway Lock & Key via their website about resetting or decoding the combo on a safe/security cabinet that I had been given.

The tech was on time, very friendly, and able to quickly decode the existing combination!
Alex did a great job. Fast, efficient and professional.
Been a customer for years. Always reliable and reasonable. Can't miss with Eastway!
Fantastic experience with Eastway. Highly recommend. They came out initially for urgent call on a Sunday night and were timely.

Alex from Eastway Lock and Key was fantastic to work with! I needed quick help on a property that we evicted a tenant at. Alex and Eastway Lock and Key communicated quickly and efficiently throughout the whole process.

Alex called ahead, was right on time, and worked quickly at the property. Alex was a pleasure to chat with and easygoing as he went about the job. While I hope to never evict someone again, I do look forward to future opportunities to work with Alex and Eastway Lock and Key!
Alex came out shortly after we called for an issue getting into our shed. He was professional, on time, easy communicator, and solved our problem. Highly recommend!
Called to have our locks changed after we recently moved in and the technician that came out, Alex H, true professional. Did a very good job of explaining everything and was very efficient with his work and very easy to work with.

Would definitely use this company again.

I went to Eastway Lock & Key to get a copy of a motorcycle key. The staff was friendly and helpful. Plus, they got the key made quickly. The new key was better quality than the original and the cost was comparable to what you might pay at the big box stores. Don't hesitate to pay them a visit for your keys and locks.
Jeff field was great in explaining the information on my ignition switch
I had 12 interior doorknobs replaced by Eddie who did an absolutely wonderful job! It was a time consuming project, but Eddie was so patient and helpful—thank you!!
Could not recommend Eastway Lock & Key more! My door wouldn't open to my condo, and Eastway had someone out there very quick. When faced with a tricky lock, Jacob was persistent, kind, and got the job done. Definitely will be using them for any future lock needs!
Excellent experience. They helped us find the model of our unique door handle which had been discontinued, and provided a link to buy it on eBay. Unfortunately the eBay order was missing one of the parts, but Eddie the technician was still able to get the door handle installed and working! They wanted to do their best to avoid more parts ordering and appointments for us, and Eddie really went above and beyond in his care for the work he did. Made us feel very valued as a customer. Highly recommend Eastway and Eddie!
Alex H was in our home last week to work on a couple of locks for us. Alex was very professional and pleasant, answering all questions asked and showing me what he did to correct the issues. I would certainly recommend Alex and Eastway Lock & Key to future potential customers!!

Thank you Alex!! So convenient and fast
I highly recommend Eastway lock and key. The company provided exceptional service that begin with the dispatcher who work with me to determine what I needed and rescheduled my appointment so that I would have time to actually purchase it. The technician Alex was very thorough. He had to work with Three different locks, one touchpad, and two Wi-Fi enabled locks that all had to be re-keyed to a common key. He also replaced the touchpad lock. He accomplished this in a very short period of time. He was very knowledgeable and pleasant to work with..
Alex was fantastic. He went above and beyond helping us with all of our exterior door fixes and was pleasant to work with. Highly recommend!
Alex was great! He was very friendly, efficient, and great customer service. Definitely recommend this group
Great service by Andrew. Recommend this place.
Well, the other day my doorknob was seriously threatening to run away from home. Then got defiant when I tried to make it stay. And after 20 minutes of trying to reason with it to no avail, I gave up. I said to myself, "I've got something for you." Early the next morning, I called Eastway Lock & Key. I spoke to a very courteous and knowledgeable woman who told me that they could get someone out ASAP. She also told me pricing and that she'll give me a call as soon as someone is dispatched. Well, they sent Andrew my way, who was prompt, efficient and friendly. He not only told the doorknob that this was it's home whether it liked it or not, but also reinforced the importance of being cooperative. Thanks, Eastway Lock and Key. And a super duper thanks to Andrew.
Andrew at Eastway provided excellent service. His attitude and experience went above and beyond in helping me get into my home. I highly recommend this company.
I highly recommend Eastway lock and key. Andrew did an outstanding job fixing a lock I was told could not be fixed. He was on time and very friendly
Thought I had a lock out, but was just a jammed door. Tech was out within 1 hour of my call, was courteous, professional and since we truly were missing the key the tech rekeyed our storage building to prevent future issues.
Tristin was very helpful and efficient with helping me get extra keys made for our office. Will definitely use again in the future.
