  • Should I do the same key to all my doors?Having one key for all your doors is definitely convenient. Imagine having to carry multiple keys with you and trying to remember which key opens which door lock! What if you have more than one lock on the door?

  • Where can I buy picking tools to unlock my door by myself?Because the lock picking tools are burglary tools, without a valid locksmith license, you cannot buy or carry picking tools by yourself in most of the states.

I had an amazing experience with Vitali from Prime Locksmiths here in Las Vegas. Yesterday we accidentally locked our keys in the trunk of our car, and thanks to Toyota’s head-scratching “security” feature, the trunk locks itself if it detects the car being unlocked in an unusual way. So even after getting the doors open, the trunk stayed locked with the keys inside — incredibly frustrating. Luckily, Vitali showed up right away and knew exactly what to do. He had the situation handled in just a couple of minutes. Super professional, fast, and clearly knows what he’s doing. If you ever need a locksmith in Las Vegas, I highly recommend Prime Locksmiths. Vitali provides excellent service and is someone you can trust to get the job done quickly. I only use Prime Locksmiths when I need help in Vegas. Great service and great people!

I locked my self out of my bedroom on a Saturday afternoon. Having crazy teenagers in my house I have the kind of lock you would use on the front door your house in a bad neighborhood. Prime got here in less than an hour and with precision of a safe cracker from a movie he had my lock open in 30 seconds. I was Amazed! I highly recommend this company. The price was a lot less than I paid last time I did this. (Yes this was the 2nd time, doh!) Plus the 1st 58me it took the guy like 45 minutes to open the door. Call Prime Locksmith, I know I will when I need one going forward.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I lost my Chevy keys and needed them reprogrammed — this locksmith was amazing! He arrived quickly, got the job done in just 20 minutes, and the price was very affordable. Super knowledgeable and professional, he even explained where I can place my key in case my fob battery ever dies. Fast, friendly, and educational — highly recommend!

I needed to get into my small side garage door and called 2 other locksmiths first. One didn't even call back (after taking my initial call) and the other wasn't remotely qualified (they offered to break the lock to gain access). I wish Prime had been my first call, but they will be from now on! They quickly assessed what I needed and came to the rescue within 20 minutes. They were able to get the lock unlocked and make two keys that were much needed. They were very professional, qualified and reasonably priced. I highly recommend using them if you need a locksmith.
