Duke Auto Locksmith
Locked out late at night? Key snapped in the door while you're trying to head to work? It happens to the best of us - and when it does, you need help fast. That's where Duke Auto Locksmith steps in. We're your local emergency locksmith in Alexandria VA, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. When you search "locksmith near me open now", we're the ones who actually answer - and show up fast.
Some locksmiths say they're open 24/7 - but when it's 2 a.m. and you're standing outside your apartment in pajamas, they don't pick up. We do. Whether you're locked out of your home, vehicle, or business, our emergency locksmiths are already nearby in Alexandria, and we'll get there in 20 to 30 minutes in most cases.
Recent real calls we handled:
Our techs don't just show up with tools - they show up with the know-how, attitude, and gear to fix the problem on the spot.
Emergency doesn't just mean "locked out" - though we do a lot of that. Our Alexandria emergency locksmiths are trained and equipped for a wide range of urgent situations:
Our goal is to solve the issue without damage - no busted doors, no broken locks, no drama. We'll open it cleanly and get you back in.
Speed is important - but so is trust. Alexandria homeowners, drivers, and business owners call us because we pick up the phone when others won't. Our local techs know the neighborhoods, the shortcuts, and what works. We're not dispatching from out of town or passing you to a call center.
Here's what makes us different:
Our customers know: when you call Duke, someone answers - and someone comes.
"My toddler locked us out. I was panicking. Duke's tech showed up in under 25 minutes and had us back inside without damaging anything. I was crying with relief."
- Tasha B., Rose Hill
"It was 4 a.m., I was locked out in the rain after a night shift. Not only did Duke pick up, they got there before the Uber I was about to call. Legends."
- Darryl M., Eisenhower Valley
That's the kind of work we do - not just opening doors, but helping people out of awful situations with calm, reliable service.
When you're locked out, you're vulnerable. We get that. That's why we show ID, provide written quotes before starting, and explain what we're doing step-by-step. No sketchy behavior, no "extra charges" tacked on later.
