Being locked out of your car can be a scary and a dangerous experience. If you attempt to open the doors yourself, you risk damaging your car and set yourself up for very expensive repairs. In a situation such as this, every minute counts, and you need a professional auto locksmith to assist you. At Eastway Lock & Key, Inc., we offer 24/7 auto locksmith services, including emergency lockout assistance, car key replacement, chip key programming, car lock rekeying, key duplication and more!
Access Control Access Control
Here at Eastway Lock & Key, Inc., we provide access control for any and all of your security needs. Whether you need to protect a room, an entire building, even a campus, we provide state-of-the-art access control options for complete security. Similar to computer access control, physical access control also uses three main types of authenticating information. The three types of access control provide alternative access control options that can be multi-user access, using either a password or an access fob, or be limited to allow only a single person with secure access control via a fingerprint.

Please come into our Charlotte, North Carolina branch to see our showroom, which houses a full line of access control equipment. You can speak to our in-house locksmith directly, in addition to our very knowledgeable and experienced staff, where they will show you any video surveillance equipment and lock hardware related to your access control queries and needs.
Commercial Alarm System Commercial Alarm System
An alarm system provides many different benefits, from deterring crime to begin with to getting prompt help should an intruder enter your property. When combined with a surveillance system, a commercial alarm system can also aid in capturing the criminal and bringing them to justice. The main objective, however, is keeping the occupants and your assets safe, which a commercial alarm system can do effectively by keeping the intruder out and if they should enter, alerting anyone in the building so everyone can take measures to protect themselves. In addition, most criminals will run when they hear an alarm sound rather than continue with their plan knowing they stand a better chance of being caught. If you would like to know more about a commercial alarm system for your business in the Charlotte, North Carolina area, give us a call or stop by our showroom to view products we have to offer.
Locksmith Locksmith
There are generally only a few people who have had contact with your homes keys you, your family, and your locksmith. That last one might make you feel nervous.

Brian Moreira replaced handlesets and locks on the front and back doors of my house. He is professional, easy to communicate with, and did a great job with the installation. Everything works perfectly.

Brian Moreira completed our service call. We had 2 locks re-keyed and keys made. He was prompt, courteous and friendly. He also pointed out a problem with one of our doors that we may want to take care of in the future. Highly recommend Eastway Lock & Key! Our company has been doing business with them for years and they always do a great job!

Brian came out to help with garage knob and lock issues. He was very professional and took care of the issue very timely and efficiently. Have used Eastway for larger projects also and was very satisfied then also.

Just wanted to give some credit to Tracy who was the technician that responded to my service call to Eastway L&K, he was very prompt and friendly in his response and explained thoroughly what I could expect and costs, ETA, etc. Tracy was also upfront that he was on his way to another call that he had before me and let me know what side of town so I had an idea of about how long I'd be sitting with my kids locked out of my house! He called back when done with the other call only a few minutes later to say he was on his way. Very professional and courteous; prompt in correspondence and honest. Thank you again!

Last night I called from Freedom Park after discovering I had locked my keys in the car. AJ missed my call but ended up calling back! He was quick, personable, funny and professional. While I found my keys outside of my car in the park, my car door was opened without damage AND I would call for Eastway's service again, in a heart beat. Thank you, AJ for making a miserable situation way more palatable!

I had two locks re-keyed to match an existing key. They got it done in about 10 minutes while I waited, and both locks work great. At about $17 per lock it was definitely worth it as I have zero knowledge on how to do it myself. Quick, quality service from Eastway. Service:Lock rekeying

I called the location to confirm something with my account and the gentleman was very friendly and helpful to get me an answer. I went into the location to have keys made and everyone had awesome customer service!

We needed our business locks changed in a hurry. I called two other companies, both of which advertised emergency service but were far from being able to provide it. So happy I kept dialing and found Eastway--they were professional on the phone, amazingly fast at getting to my business, and absolutely helpful, competent and friendly upon arrival and through the process. I would NEVER consider calling anyone but Eastway in the future.

I've used Eastway Lock and Key for the last 20 years and feel that their customer service and work has always exceeded my expectations. Most recently I had a home alarm issue which they promptly sent someone later that day to fix. Thank you

***IMPORTANT (delayed edit to my original comment): I want to let everyone know that the owner called me right away and explained that my issue was a very isolated situation and completely not the way they do business. He was extremely concerned, apologetic and very professional. HE RESOLVED THE PROBLEM RIGHT AWAY and that is good business practice! We are very satisfied with Eastway Lock & Key and work the technician did. We have used them for 25+ years and continue to refer them to our friends, family and neighbors.

Joe from Eastway came to our house after another locksmith could not fix our door locks because they are so old. Joe had no problem though, he got them working and re-keyed. We were very satisfied with the work.
