One of the best locksmiths in town. Knowledgeable staff with can do attitudes. Almost no key they can't duplicate. Wide selection of safes

This is the only locksmith I've ever taken my keys. They do an incredible job and are very affordable. The key on my fob snapped and I didn't want to go to the dealership to rekey a spare. I ordered a blank from eBay and brought it over to Central Lock to see what they could do. Within minutes Tyler recut a new key, tested it in my ignition, and reprogrammed the fob for a fraction of the time and cost of a dealership. I would recommend this place to anyone. Thanks for the great service!

$80 to open a locked car, I'm pretty sure they are the cheapest around in the twin cities. Also make keys for cheap. Very helpful and friendly as well.

Had a key made yesterday, and the key didn't turn the lock when I checked it. Brought it back this morning and they fixed it up right away, and gave me a second key for free! Both days the service was helpful and prompt; They definitely care about you and delivering service. *We had a car key made here last year as well after our car was stolen and rekeyed, they were very helpful at that time.
