Your Summit Locksmith: Know Who's Coming
We're based in Oak Lawn, so Summit is a short drive, not a long haul. Our technicians know the routes: Archer Avenue, I-55, Route 171, 63rd Street, and the side streets in between. That means less time lost in traffic and more time fixing your problem.
Here's what you can expect:
- A straight price before we touch anything
- A technician who arrives in a marked vehicle and checks ID before starting on a home or car
- Non-destructive entry first, so we aren't drilling anything we don't have to
- A new or spare key made on the spot when the job calls for it
Typically on-site in about 20 minutes. Timing depends on traffic and time of day, and we'll give you a real ETA when you call.
Common Lock & Key Problems We See in Summit
Shift-work lockouts
Summit is a working city, home to large food-processing plants, a big rail corridor, and plenty of industrial jobs. Early-morning and overnight shifts mean people are leaving and coming home at odd hours, and lockouts happen at 4 a.m. just as often as at 4 p.m. We're on call for that.
Commuter parking and station lockouts
Summit has Metra and Amtrak service, and the Stevenson is right there. Commuters leave cars all day, and lost keys or a locked door at the end of a long day is a common call.
Worn locks in older buildings
Summit grew fast in the early 1900s, so many buildings here have been standing a long time. Older hardware wears out, sticks, and breaks keys. We repair what we can and replace what we can't.
Big households, lots of keys
The average Summit household has nearly four people, and that's a lot of keys floating around. When one goes missing, a rekey is the cheapest way to make sure only the right people can get in.
Landlord and tenant turnover
Apartment and rental turnover means a lot of rekeying. If your locks haven't changed since the last tenant, they should.
Business break-ins and access control
Shops along Archer Avenue and 63rd Street and the industrial buildings nearby need reliable locks, panic bars, and keypad systems. A rekey after an employee leaves is a small cost compared to a break-in.
We Know Summit
Summit sits where the Chicago Portage once linked the Chicago and Des Plaines rivers, and the city has been a crossroads ever since. Today about 11,000 people live in roughly two square miles, packed in close to Archer Avenue, the Argo district, and the I-55 corridor.
We work across:
- Old Summit: the streets around Center Street and Archer Avenue
- Argo: the neighborhood along 63rd Street, named for the corn plant that built it
- Archer Avenue corridor: apartments, shops, and small businesses
- I-55 and Route 171 area: the quick on-ramp for most of our dispatches
- The industrial blocks: plants, warehouses, and yards on the west and south sides
Midway Airport is about three miles east, so we also help travelers who lock keys in rental cars or get back from a trip to a dead key fob.
What Summit-Area Customers Say
Locked out near 63rd and Central on a weeknight with work the next morning. My landlord wasn't answering and I was panicking. 23 & Key showed up in about 20 minutes, got me back in without touching the door frame, and cut me a spare on the spot. Lifesavers.
Locked my keys in the car off Archer Avenue. Called 23 & Key and they were there in under 20 minutes. Quoted me a price on the phone and that's exactly what I paid. No nonsense, just a fast fix.
Lost my only car key near the Stevenson and the dealer wanted days and a fortune. 23 & Key came to me, programmed a new key in my driveway in about 25 minutes. Saved me so much time and money. Will call again without hesitation.
Called at 11pm after getting locked out. Honestly expected a big late-night upcharge but the price they quoted was the price I paid. Tech arrived in about 20 minutes, very professional. Exactly what you need in a stressful moment.
Just moved into a place near Harlem Avenue and wanted all the locks rekeyed. 23 & Key came out same day, did three doors, and were in and out in under an hour. Fair price, friendly tech. Highly recommend.
Locksmith FAQ: Summit, IL
How fast can you get to Summit?
We're often on-site in about 20 minutes. Traffic, weather, and time of day can change that, so we'll give you a real ETA when you call.
How much does a locksmith cost in Summit?
It depends on the job, the lock, and the time. We quote the price before we start, and that's the price you pay. No surprise fees at the door.
Can you get me into my car without damaging it?
In most cases, yes. We use non-destructive tools first, and we'll tell you up front if something unusual is needed.
I lost all my car keys. Can you make a new one?
Yes. We can cut and program a replacement on the spot for many makes and models. We'll ask for ID and proof of ownership first.
Do I need to prove the home is mine?
Yes. For your safety and ours, we check ID before opening a home, car, or business.
What's the difference between rekeying and replacing a lock?
Rekeying changes the inside of your existing lock so old keys no longer work. It's usually cheaper and faster than replacing the whole lock. We replace when the lock is damaged, worn, or outdated.

Yes, 24/7, 365 days a year, with the same upfront pricing at any hour.
Do you serve Argo and the industrial areas?
Yes. We serve all of Summit, including Argo, the Archer Avenue corridor, and the surrounding industrial blocks.
