Cudahy sits between Mitchell International Airport and the Lake Michigan shoreline, which produces a specific locksmith call type other suburbs do not see: airport-adjacent rental-car key replacements, hotel guest lockouts at the cluster of properties along S Howell Avenue, and travelers who left their only set of car keys in a checked bag and need an emergency duplicate cut before catching a flight.

Right - Wisconsin is one of only a handful of states without a state-issued locksmith license, which makes verifying who shows up at your door more important here than almost anywhere. We carry general liability and bonding above industry minimums, and the same crew shows up that you spoke to on dispatch. Ask for the COI and we will email it before the truck rolls.
Yes. Rekeying replaces the pins inside your existing lock cylinders so the old keys no longer turn - usually faster and cheaper than swapping every lock. A full home rekey (4 to 6 cylinders) runs $150 to $300 and takes about 30 to 45 minutes. We do this regularly after move-ins, lost keys, post-eviction, and tenant turnover.

Most of the time, yes. We service residential and commercial safes including Group 2 mechanical-dial models.

Typical service runs $200 to $500.
