From John, owner

You get the locksmith, not a dispatcher.

Same number, same face, 20 years. No call center quoting you one price and a stranger arriving with another.

A lot of calls end up cheaper than people expect. Plenty of stiff deadbolts are a strike plate problem, not a new lock.

  • John came to my house and replaced three locks, one of which was an entire front door handle assembly that needed to be switched out for a new one. He was very friendly and accommodating, and his prices were beyond fair. I highly recommend him.

  • I contacted TW Locksmith to add some deadbolts to 2 doors. John did an awesome job. He showed up on time and he was meticulous in his work. He made sure that my deadbolts were silky smooth and that they were installed perfectly. I would highly recommend him!

Questions

Straight answers

(703) 981-3050
What areas does TW Locksmith Services cover?

Manassas, Manassas Park, Gainesville, Bristow, Haymarket, Centreville, Woodbridge and Fairfax. Call with your address and John will confirm on the phone.

Should I rekey or replace my locks?

If the locks are in good shape, rekeying is cheaper and just as secure. If they are worn, mismatched or low grade, replacing is the better spend. John tells you which one you are looking at before any work starts.

Can all my doors work on one key?

Usually yes. Front, back, garage entry and a workshop can be keyed alike so you carry one key instead of four.

Who shows up at my door?

John. Same phone number, same locksmith, 20 years of it. No dispatch center and no rotating subcontractors.

I am locked out right now. What do I do?

Call (703) 981-3050 and describe where you are. John will tell you honestly how soon he can get there instead of promising a time he cannot hold.

Do you open cars?

Yes. Keys shut inside a car is one of the most common calls, including weekends.

We just bought a house. What should we do first?

Rekey every exterior door before you move a single box in. You have no idea how many keys are still out there from the previous owner, the agent and the contractors.

Do you work with landlords and property managers?

Yes. Turnover rekeys on rentals and offices are regular work, and units can be keyed to a master.

Do you install keypad and smart locks?

Yes, and John checks the mechanical side too. A smart lock on a misaligned door is still a door that jams.

Tell us what the lock is doing.

Send a few details or call and describe it. John will tell you what it needs and what it costs before he picks up a tool.
