For residential lockouts, we typically require a valid ID showing the address matches the service location. Alternative proof of ownership includes utility bills, lease agreements, or mortgage documents. For car services, vehicle registration and ID are standard requirements.

These verification steps protect you from unauthorized access by potential intruders posing as property owners. Our professional approach might seem like an extra step, but it's an essential part of responsible locksmithery. If you're concerned about meeting verification requirements during an emergency, our friendly staff can discuss options when you call. We're here to help legitimate property owners regain access while maintaining the highest security standards.

Commonly Asked Questions

How much does a locksmith charge in Kingston, NY?
Locksmith service costs in Kingston vary based on the type of service needed. Basic services like key copy start around $5-15, while emergency lockouts typically range from $75-150. Complex services like car key replacement with programming can cost $150-300. Kingston Secure Locksmith always provides upfront pricing before starting work - call (845) 868-0781 for a free estimate.
Can a locksmith make a new key without the original?
Yes, our professional locksmiths can create new keys without the original using several methods. For homes, we can decode existing locks or use manufacturer code information. For vehicles, we access the car's VIN code to cut and program new keys. This service is often cheaper than dealership alternatives and available 24/7 through our mobile locksmith service.
How much does an auto locksmith typically cost?
Auto locksmith costs depend on the service needed. Car lockout assistance typically costs $75-125. Basic car key duplication runs $50-100, while transponder key replacement can range from $150-350 depending on your vehicle. Ignition repairs vary by complexity. Our Kingston team offers competitive rates that are often cheaper than dealership pricing.
Is it cheaper to rekey or replace locks?
Rekeying is almost always cheaper than full lock replacement - typically 40-60% less expensive. Rekey services change the internal pins so old keys no longer work, while keeping your existing hardware. We recommend replacement only when locks are damaged, outdated, or you want to upgrade to smart lock technology. Our technicians will honestly advise which option best suits your needs and budget.
What do I do if I can't afford a locksmith?
We understand budget concerns and offer several options to help. Kingston Secure Locksmith provides free estimates so you know costs upfront. We can often suggest the most economical solution, such as rekeying instead of replacement. For non-emergency situations, scheduling during regular hours avoids after-hours charges. We also accept multiple payment methods. Call us to discuss your situation - we're here to help.
What is Kingston, New York known for?
Kingston is known as New York's first capital, with rich colonial history dating back to 1652. The city features the historic Stockade District, the vibrant Rondout waterfront, and serves as Ulster County's seat. Located 91 miles north of NYC and 59 miles south of Albany, Kingston blends historic charm with a thriving arts community. Kingston Secure Locksmith is proud to serve this historic community.
What proof do you need for a locksmith to help with lockouts?
For security purposes, we require ID showing your connection to the property. For home lockouts, a driver's license matching the address or a lease/utility bill works. For car services, we need vehicle registration and ID proving ownership. These verification steps protect legitimate property owners from unauthorized access attempts. Our team handles this process professionally and discreetly.
Do you offer key copy services like KeyMe kiosks?
Yes, we offer key copy services that go beyond what KeyMe kiosks can provide. While kiosks work for basic house keys, our professional locksmith service can duplicate high-security keys, transponder car keys, and restricted keyways that automated machines cannot copy. We come to you with our mobile service, and our pricing is competitive with kiosk rates for standard keys.
