A lost car key in a Summerlin parking garage, a deadbolt that stopped turning, a tenant who moved out and never handed the key back. These are the calls we take every day. Key Boss Locksmith is a mobile locksmith company covering Las Vegas, NV and the surrounding valley, with a 4.7 star average across 216 Google reviews behind the work. We are licensed and insured, we carry OEM parts and key cutting and programming equipment in every van, and we handle car, home and business lock and key jobs ourselves instead of passing them on to someone else.
Homes in Las Vegas change hands and change tenants quickly, and the locks usually stay behind. We rekey existing hardware so old keys stop working, swap out worn or damaged locks, and get people back inside after a house lockout. Rekeying is the cheaper route in most cases. The lock stays on the door, only the pins inside change, and you walk away with new keys the old ones will not open.
We also fit deadbolts, replace failed door hardware, extract broken keys and install smart locks and keypad entry. Schlage, Kwikset and Yale hardware is everyday work for us, and we will say plainly when a lock is worth saving and when it is not. More on our residential locksmith services.
A business lock problem is rarely only a lock problem. Staff leave, keys go unaccounted for, a storefront door stops latching an hour before opening. We handle commercial rekeying, master key systems that let a manager open every door while staff open only theirs, high security cylinders with restricted key control, panic and exit hardware, and repairs to commercial grade door hardware.
Office suites, retail units, restaurants, warehouses and rental properties around the valley run on a small number of hardware standards, and we stock what those doors actually take. Our commercial locksmith team quotes after a look at the door and the cylinder.
Most car key work no longer has to happen at a dealership. We come to the vehicle, cut and program keys on site, and the car stays where it is. That covers transponder keys, proximity and push to start fobs, remote head keys and plain mechanical keys, along with car lockouts, keys snapped off in a door or ignition, and ignition cylinder repair and replacement.
We program for Toyota, Honda, Ford, Nissan, Chevrolet, BMW, Mercedes, Audi and Lexus among most other brands on the road here, and we fit OEM parts rather than the aftermarket shells that quit a year later. Full detail on the automotive locksmith page.
Lockouts do not keep business hours. Our phone is answered around the clock, every day of the year, for car lockouts, house lockouts, keys shut inside a running vehicle, broken keys and doors that will not secure. Tell us where you are and what you are locked out of, and you will know what the job involves before anyone is sent out. See our emergency locksmith service.
Lose the only key to a car and the dealership route usually means a tow, an appointment and a bill you did not plan for. We do it where the car is parked. Give us the year, make and model plus proof the vehicle is yours, and we cut and program a new key or fob on the spot, including all keys lost situations where there is nothing left to copy.
The key type sets the price more than anything else, and we quote before we start. Car key replacement details here.
A spare costs a fraction of an emergency call out. We cut and program spare car keys and fobs, duplicate house and office keys including laser cut and restricted blanks that a hardware store machine will not take, and handle key fob replacement when the buttons stop responding or the case has cracked open.
The Las Vegas heat is hard on key fobs. One left on a dashboard through July does not last, so a second key sitting in a drawer is cheap insurance.
Everything we do happens at your car, your home or your business. There is no shop to drive to and no slot to wait for. The van is the workshop, and it carries key cutting and programming equipment, cylinder stock, deadbolts and commercial door hardware.
Because we work this way, the first thing we ask on the phone is where you are and what you are locked out of. That is not a sales question. A car key job needs the year, make and model. A rekey needs to know how many doors. A commercial door needs to know what hardware is on it. Answer those and the quote you get is the price you pay.
We cover Las Vegas and North Las Vegas, from Summerlin, Peccole Ranch and Queensridge across to Downtown, the Arts District and Spring Valley.
Locksmith work is one of the few trades where you hand a stranger access to your car, your home or your business. That is worth a moment of scrutiny. Ask whoever you call whether they are licensed and insured, whether the person quoting is the person doing the work, and whether the parts are OEM or aftermarket.
Cheap car key work usually means aftermarket shells and cloned chips. They read fine on day one and start failing months later, and a careless programming attempt can damage a vehicle immobilizer module, which costs far more to put right than the key ever did. That is why we use OEM parts and dealer level programming equipment.
What customers tell us brings them back:
People searching for a locksmith near me are usually standing next to the problem and want to know two things: can you get here, and what will it cost. Working mobile answers the first one. We cover the Las Vegas Valley rather than working out of a single storefront, so the call goes to whoever is closest and free.
The second one we answer on the phone. Locksmith pricing has a poor reputation in this city, mostly earned by lead generation numbers that quote low, turn up, and then re-quote at the door. We price from the details you give us, and that number does not move once we arrive unless the job turns out to be different from what was described.
There is no single locksmith price, but the variables are simple enough to explain before anyone is sent out.
Car keys. The key type sets the cost. A plain mechanical key is the cheapest. A transponder key has to be programmed to the vehicle. A proximity or push to start fob costs more again, and an all keys lost job takes longer because the car is programmed from scratch rather than copied from a working key.
Homes. Rekeying is priced per cylinder and is almost always cheaper than new hardware. A lock change costs more because you are also paying for the lock itself. Lockouts are a call out plus the opening.
Businesses. The door decides it. A standard cylinder rekey is straightforward. Master key systems, restricted keyways and exit devices get quoted once we see what is fitted.
Cheapest is not the goal. A fair quote you can hold us to is.
Las Vegas is hard on locks and keys in ways that are easy to miss. Fine desert dust works into cylinders and wears the pins, so a key that used to turn cleanly starts needing a wiggle. Summer heat cooks fob batteries and warps the plastic housings. West facing door frames move enough between January and July that a deadbolt which lined up in winter starts to bind.
Most of it is fixable long before it becomes a lockout. If a key is getting harder to turn, if a fob needs two or three presses, or if you have to lift the door to throw the bolt, that is the moment to call. Not after the key snaps off in the cylinder.
Lock rekeying – the quickest way to make old keys useless. The lock stays on the door and we re-pin the cylinder to a new key. Standard practice after a purchase, a move out, a break up, or a contractor who held a key for the length of a job.
Lock changes and installation – for hardware that is worn, damaged, or simply not up to the job. We fit deadbolts, handle sets and keyed entry hardware from Schlage, Kwikset, Yale and Baldwin, and match finishes across a house so it does not end up looking patched together.
House lockouts – doors opened without damage in the large majority of cases. If you are locked out with a child or a pet inside, or with something left on the stove, say so on the call and it moves to the front of the queue.
Key cutting and duplication – house keys, high security and restricted blanks, and laser cut keys that a hardware store machine will not handle. Cut on site.
Broken key extraction – a key snapped in the cylinder is not automatically a new lock. In most cases we pull out the broken half and cut a fresh key from what is left.
Smart locks and keypads – supply and installation of keypad and app controlled entry, including swapping out an existing deadbolt, plus code setup for cleaners, guests and rental turnovers. Call (702) 570-8103 to talk through what suits your doors.
Yes. Key Boss Locksmith is licensed and insured, and our technicians work under that cover on every job. If you are calling any locksmith in Nevada, it is a fair question to ask before you agree to anything.
Yes. We take calls 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays, for lockouts and urgent lock and key problems. Planned work such as a scheduled rekey or a hardware upgrade is usually easier to book during the day.
Yes. An all keys lost job takes longer than copying an existing key, because the vehicle has to be programmed from scratch, but it is still done at the car and does not need a tow to a dealership. We will need the year, make and model plus proof the vehicle is yours.
Rekeying is cheaper in almost every case, because the hardware stays on the door and only the cylinder is re-pinned. Replacing makes sense when a lock is worn out, damaged, or when you want a higher security grade than what is currently fitted.
It depends on the job, and we quote before dispatching rather than at the door. Car key prices are set mainly by the key type, home work by the number of cylinders, and commercial work by the hardware on the door. Give us those details on the phone and the number you hear is the number you pay.
Yes. For keys and fobs we use OEM parts and dealer level programming equipment. Aftermarket shells and cloned chips are cheaper up front and are the single most common reason a key made elsewhere stops working a few months later.

Two minutes of detail on the phone is the difference between an accurate quote and a surprise at the door.
For a car: the year, make and model, whether any working key is left, and where the vehicle is parked. Have proof of ownership ready, meaning registration or title plus photo ID. No legitimate locksmith will cut a car key without it.
For a home or business: how many locks are involved, what brand is stamped on the hardware if you can read it, and whether any existing keys need to keep working.
For a lockout: exactly where you are, and whether anyone or any pet is inside. That changes the priority.
Whether it is a key that snapped this morning, a set of locks that has to change before new tenants move in, or a car that will not start because the fob has given up, the next step is the same.
