Home/Car lockout
Locked out? We come to youLocked your keys in the car at the Port, the Hyundai Metaplant up in Bryan County, the Tanger Outlets in Pooler, or anywhere on Hwy 21? We open most cars on site without damage. Bring a photo ID that matches your registration when you can.
It happens. Quick stop at the gas station on Hwy 21, a long shift at the Port, kids in the back seat at the Tanger Outlets parking lot — and the keys are sitting on the driver's seat. We open most cars on site without damage using the right tools for that vehicle, not a slim-jim or a coat hanger.
If a child or pet is in the car and the temperature is high, call 911 first. Always. We'll still come, but the fire department or police can usually break a window much faster than we can drive.
If it's just you and the keys, sit tight, and have your driver's license ready. We need a quick check that you own (or are renting/borrowing) the car before we open it — that's not us being difficult, it's the difference between a locksmith and someone who breaks into cars.
If you're under warranty or have a service plan, the dealer's roadside might be free — and it's worth checking before you call us. The downside is the wait time can be hours. We're usually faster but not free. Your call.

We focus on one specific slice of Chatham and Effingham county — the Highway 21 corridor, the five cities around the Port of Savannah, and the communities sitting next to them. That focus matters. We know which subdivisions have Cluster Box Units (CBUs) versus individual mailboxes. We know that the doors at Sanctuary Cove tend to have Schlage in a specific finish. We know which businesses on Pooler Parkway open early and which ones don't unlock until after 10 AM. When you call, you get a locksmith who already knows your area — not a dispatch center routing you to whoever picks up.
We program transponder keys, smart keys and proximity remotes for most domestic, European and Asian vehicles. Tell us the year, make and model when you call so we bring the right blanks and programming gear.
Tell us what happened, where you are, and what hardware is involved. We explain the work and give you a time window.
For lockouts we confirm photo ID and proof of ownership or location. For installs we confirm the door type and what you want.
A technician arrives in our service vehicle with the parts, blanks and programming gear most jobs need.
You see the work tested in front of you. You pay only for what was agreed before we started.
Before we arrive, take a clear photo of your driver's license and have a second photo of your registration, lease, deed, or rental agreement ready. Having both ready cuts the visit time roughly in half and protects you from someone calling a locksmith on a property that isn't theirs.
Locksmith work depends on a few honest factors: the type of lock or vehicle, distance to the job, and any parts that need to be supplied. We handle evening calls the same as daytime calls during our regular hours — 9 PM is treated the same as 9 AM. We explain what's involved when you call so you know what to expect, and we never start work without your go-ahead.
We work daily across these neighborhoods and ZIP codes, plus everything in between:
We are based at 7306 GA-21, Port Wentworth, GA 31407 — directly on the Highway 21 corridor and within a few minutes of most addresses in 31407, 31408, 31322 and 31326.
You can reach Locksmith Port Wentworth at (912) 483-5990 for any car, home, business, safe or emergency locksmith service.
We are open 7 AM to 10 PM, every day of the week. Calls go to a real person, not a call center.
If you are in Port Wentworth, Savannah, Garden City, Pooler, Rincon, or anywhere within roughly 25 miles of our Hwy 21 base, the answer is almost always yes. Call us with the address and we will confirm.
Yes. We cut and program transponder keys and smart keys at your driveway, workplace, or wherever the vehicle is. We need the year, make and model when you call so we bring the right blank.
Our team works the Highway 21 corridor every day. We respond quickly across Port Wentworth and the surrounding coastal communities. Click your city below:
Usually 30-60 minutes from call to arrival, depending on traffic and where you are. The Pooler/Garden City/Port Wentworth core is fastest.
We use the right tools for each vehicle, not slim-jims or coat hangers. Damage is rare on modern cars when the right approach is used.
A driver's license is best. Registration or insurance card with your name on it also works. We need to confirm you own (or are renting/borrowing) the vehicle before opening it.
Call 911 first. Always. We can still come, but the fire department or police can break a window much faster than we can drive in heavy traffic.
