A locksmith shop in Rockville, open since 2012

A1 Super Locksmith Services works on the doors, safes and car keys of Montgomery County from one address on Congressional Lane. Same business, same phone number, every time you call.

Where we came from

A1 Super Locksmith Services started in Rockville in 2012 and has stayed there. The shop is at 313 Congressional Lane, just off Rockville Pike, and the work has spread outward from it ever since — front doors in Twinbrook, shop fronts in Wheaton, car keys in Bethesda parking garages, safes that nobody in the family remembers the combination to.

The business is organised into four divisions, because the four kinds of call need different tools in the van: residential, commercial, automotive and emergency. Most days involve all four.

Why the address matters

Search “locksmith near me” and a large share of what comes back is not a locksmith at all. It is a national call centre that buys the search result, takes your details, and sells the job on to whichever subcontractor is nearest and willing. That model is why so many locksmith stories end the same way: a van you have never heard of, a technician who cannot tell you what anything costs, and a price that arrives after the drill has already been used.

You can usually spot it before anyone arrives. There is no shop address on the site, only a form and a toll-free number. The company name does not match the name on the van. Nobody on the phone can say who is coming or when they will be there, because at that point nobody has been assigned.

We are the other thing. There is one address, one phone number, and the person you describe the problem to works for the same business as the person who turns up. If a job goes wrong, you are not chasing a dispatch line that has no record of you — you are calling a shop in Rockville that would like to keep working in Rockville.

How we work

  • We look at the lock first and quote before starting, so the price is agreed before the work does
  • Non-destructive entry comes first; drilling is a last resort and never a surprise
  • Repair where a lock can be repaired, replace where it genuinely cannot
  • Traditional mechanical locks and smart locks alike

What that means for you

Two things a broker cannot offer

Who answers the phone, and when the number is set.

You always reach the same shop

One business, one address, one number. Nobody is bidding for your job in the background, and nothing gets handed to a van you have never heard of.

  • A fixed address in Rockville you can look up before you call
  • The person who answers works for the business that turns up
  • The same locks, the same streets, since 2012

The price is settled before the work

What a job costs depends on the lock, the door and the hour, so we quote once we can see what we are dealing with. What does not happen is work starting before you have agreed the number.

  • A quote once the lock has been looked at, not a range over the phone
  • Non-destructive entry attempted first wherever the lock allows
  • If a lock has to be drilled, you hear that before it happens
