Is it cheaper to call an auto locksmith or a dealer? In almost every case, a professional locksmith saves you money - often 40-60% less than dealer prices. Plus, we come to you with our mobile service, eliminating towing costs and wasted time.

Compared to other safe service providers like FM George Safe and Lock, we offer competitive pricing with the same level of expertise. Our technicians receive specialized training in safe manipulation and security, ensuring your valuables are handled with the utmost care and professionalism.

Do You Need a License to Be a Locksmith in TN?

Tennessee does not currently require a state-level locksmith license, which means anyone can claim to be a locksmith. This makes choosing a reputable company even more important. At Knoxville Trusted Locksmith, we voluntarily maintain industry certifications, carry full insurance, and conduct background checks on all technicians.

Commonly Asked Questions

How much does a car locksmith usually charge?
Car locksmith prices in Knoxville typically range from $50-$150 for basic lockout services and $100-$300 for key replacement or programming, depending on your vehicle's make and model. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, and our rates are consistently cheaper than dealer alternatives. Call (865) 353-9585 for a free estimate.
Can a locksmith make a key without the original?
Yes, our professional locksmiths can create new keys without the original for most residential, commercial, and automotive locks. We use specialized equipment to decode your existing lock or, for vehicles, access manufacturer databases to cut and program a new key. This service is particularly valuable when keys are lost rather than just locked inside.
Is it cheaper to call an auto locksmith or a dealer?
In nearly every situation, calling an auto locksmith is significantly cheaper than going to a dealer - often saving 40-60% on key replacement and programming. Additionally, our mobile service comes to you, eliminating towing costs and lengthy wait times at dealerships. We provide the same quality key cutting and programming at a fraction of the price.
Where does Knoxville, TN rank in crime?
Knoxville's crime rates vary by neighborhood, making quality locks and security systems essential for residents throughout the city. Our locksmith team helps homeowners and businesses implement effective security measures to protect their properties. We offer free security assessments to identify vulnerabilities and recommend appropriate solutions.
Can AutoZone make a key without the original?
AutoZone can duplicate basic keys and some simple transponder keys, but they cannot make keys without an original or program advanced smart keys. Our locksmith services fill this gap - we have professional equipment to create keys from scratch, program complex transponder systems, and handle high-security keys that retailers cannot duplicate.
What is Knoxville, TN famous for?
Knoxville is famous for being the gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains, home to the University of Tennessee, and rich in Civil War history. The downtown Market Square district features 19th-century architecture and vibrant local businesses. As your local locksmith, we're proud to serve this historic East Tennessee community and help protect its homes and businesses.
Do you provide service outside of regular business hours?
Absolutely! We offer true 24-hour service, meaning our locksmiths are available nights, weekends, and holidays. There's no such thing as 'after-hours' for emergencies - when you're locked out or facing a security issue, simply call (865) 353-9585 and we'll dispatch a technician immediately, regardless of the time.
How quickly can a locksmith arrive for an emergency?
Our average response time throughout the Knoxville area is 20-30 minutes for emergency calls. Our mobile locksmith units are strategically positioned across Knox County to ensure rapid response. We understand that lockouts and security emergencies are stressful, so we prioritize getting to you as fast as safely possible.
