Phoenix's Trusted Locksmith Since 2009
Sentinel Lock & Key started in 2009 with one mobile van and a simple frustration: too many locksmiths were hard to reach, slow to show, and quick to pad the bill on someone already having a bad day. We set out to be the opposite.
Seventeen years and twenty-five thousand calls later, we're the locksmith greater Phoenix keeps in their phone. Our technicians are licensed, bonded, insured, and background-checked, our vans are stocked to solve almost anything on the first visit, and a real human answers the phone at 3am the same as 3pm. From an emergency lockout to a whole-building master key system, you get fast, skilled, damage-free work at a fair, upfront price — every single time. That's the whole company, and it's why so much of our work comes from people we've helped before.
- ✓Family-owned & mobile across Phoenix since 2009
- ✓Licensed, bonded, insured & background-checked
- ✓Stocked vans — most jobs solved first visit
- ✓25,000+ calls answered, day and night
Why Phoenix Calls Sentinel First
There are a lot of locksmiths in the phone book. Here's what separates the one you call once from the one you save forever.
We Actually Answer
A real, local person picks up 24/7 — no call center, no voicemail, no 'we'll get back to you' when you're stuck on the curb.
We Get There Fast
Mobile vans staged across the Valley mean a 30-minute average response. When you're locked out, minutes matter, and we know it.
No Damage, No Surprises
Skilled non-destructive entry and a firm, upfront price. We don't drill what we can pick, and we don't pad the bill at the door.
Real, Vetted Locksmiths
Licensed, insured, and background-checked pros — not a random subcontractor. You're trusting us with your security; we take that seriously.
Locked Out? We've Got You, Any Hour
It always happens at the worst time — keys locked in the car at a dark trailhead, the front door slammed shut behind you in the heat, a broken key in the office lock right before a deadline. The panic is real, and so is the temptation to force it or call the first number you see.
Don't. Forcing a door or lock usually turns a simple lockout into an expensive repair, and a lot of 'cheap' online locksmiths are bait-and-switch operations that balloon the price once they arrive. Sentinel is the calm, straight answer: one local call, a real person, a licensed tech on the way fast, and a fair price you hear before we lift a tool. We'll get you back in safely, damage-free, and back to your day.
- ✓A real person answers, 24/7/365
- ✓30-minute average response Valley-wide
- ✓Upfront price before any work begins
- ✓Damage-free entry whenever possible
Call Sentinel — We're On the Way
Day or night, holidays included, one call gets a licensed locksmith to you fast. Don't force it — let us get you back in safely and damage-free.
Locksmith Questions, Answered
How fast can you get to me?
Our average response across greater Phoenix is about 30 minutes, and often faster depending on where you are and the time of day. We stage mobile vans throughout the Valley specifically so an emergency lockout never means an hour-long wait. When you call, we'll give you a realistic ETA based on the nearest available tech, and we'll keep you updated until we arrive.
How much does a lockout cost?
It depends on the time, location, and type of lock, but we always give you a clear, upfront price before any work begins — no surprises, no inflated 'emergency' fees once we're at your door. Be cautious of locksmiths advertising a suspiciously low price online; that's often a bait-and-switch that balloons on site. With Sentinel, the number we say on the phone is the number you pay.
Will you damage my door or lock?
Almost never. Our locksmiths are skilled at non-destructive entry, which means in the vast majority of lockouts we get you in without drilling or breaking anything. In the rare case a lock must be drilled — usually a high-security or already-damaged lock — we'll tell you why before we do it and offer to replace it on the spot. Protecting your property is the whole point.
Can you make car keys and fobs?
Yes, and it usually saves you a lot versus the dealership. We handle car lockouts, cut and program transponder keys and key fobs, fix ignitions, and make replacement keys for most makes and models — all on-site, wherever your vehicle is. Bring us the year, make, and model when you call and we'll confirm we can help and quote you before we head out.
Are you really available 24/7?
Truly, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year — and a real local person answers, not a call center or voicemail. Lockouts and break-ins don't keep business hours, so neither do we. Our office handles scheduled work weekdays, but emergency dispatch never closes. Whatever the hour, if you're locked out or your security's compromised, call us and we'll move.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes — we're a fully licensed Arizona locksmith, bonded and insured, and every technician is background-checked. That matters more for a locksmith than almost any other trade: you're trusting us with access to your home, business, or vehicle. We're happy to provide proof any time, and we'll always show ID on arrival. Your security and peace of mind come first.
