General

Do you come to me, or is there a shop?

We come to you. Einstein Locksmith is a mobile locksmith based in Boca Raton, so there is no shop to drive or tow to. The work is done where you and your car or door are.

What are your hours?

Monday to Thursday 9am to 10pm, Friday 9am to 2pm, Sunday 10am to 6pm. We are closed Saturday. After-hours emergency service is available by appointment.

Are you a 24-hour locksmith?

No. We would rather be honest about that than promise something we cannot deliver. After-hours emergency service is by appointment, so it is always worth a call or text.

What areas do you serve?

Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Deerfield Beach, Boynton Beach, Pompano Beach, Coral Springs and the rest of Palm Beach and Broward County. Car key and all-keys-lost work is within about 30 miles of Boca Raton, and lockouts within about 10 miles.

How do I get a price?

Call or text (561) 561-5397. For a car, tell us the year, make and model. For a home or business, tell us how many locks and what you need. You get the price before we come out, and that is the price you pay.

How do I avoid a locksmith scam?

Ask for the business name and the total price before anyone comes out, not just a service call fee. A $19 or $29 quote is almost always a bait and switch. See how to spot a locksmith scam in Palm Beach and Broward County.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Einstein Locksmith LLC is licensed and insured, and BBB A+ accredited.

How fast can you get here?

During business hours we are usually on site within the hour around Boca Raton, and the same day farther out. You get a time when you call or text.

Car keys

Can you make a car key if I lost every key?

Yes. All-keys-lost is our specialty. We cut and program a new key or smart fob at your car for most makes, including 2018 and newer Range Rover, Land Rover and Jaguar. See car key replacement.

How much does a car key cost without the original?

It depends on the make, model and year, so we quote before we come out. Our prices are typically well below dealership rates, and there is no tow.

Is a locksmith cheaper than the dealer for a car key?

Typically, yes, and you avoid the tow. Dealers often charge a programming fee on top of the key. See typical dealer fees by make on our auto locksmith page.

Can you program a key fob I bought online?

Sometimes. Many fobs sold online are the wrong part, or are used and locked to another car. Send us a photo and the part number first, or let us supply a fob we know will program.

Do you make keys for Range Rover and Jaguar?

Yes. It is what we are best known for, including 2018 and newer models and all-keys-lost. See Range Rover, Land Rover and Jaguar keys.

Lockouts

I locked my keys in the car. Can you open it without damage?

Yes. We use an air wedge and a long-reach tool, or pick the lock. See car lockout service.

I’m locked out of my house. Will you have to drill the lock?

Rarely. Most home locks are picked open with no damage. See house lockout service.

What do I need to show you?

Something that ties you to the car or the property: a license, registration, lease or a piece of mail. For a business, we need approval from the owner, a manager or the property manager.

Home and business

What is the difference between rekeying and changing locks?

Rekeying changes the inside of the lock so old keys stop working, and keeps your hardware. Changing locks replaces the hardware. Rekeying costs much less and is enough in most cases.

Do you install smart locks?

Yes, including locks you bought yourself, for homes, rentals and Airbnbs. See smart locks and keypads.

Do you work with businesses and property managers?

Yes: rekeys, master key systems, panic bars, access control and lockouts. See commercial locksmith services.
