About DC Locksmith Squad
A family-owned locksmith serving Washington DC, Maryland & Virginia since 2017
We are a small, local team, not a franchise. You reach the owner on the phone, you get a firm price before anyone drives out, and the technician who arrives is the one we sent.
Why Washington DC Trusts Us
DC Locksmith Squad is a family-owned locksmith that has served Washington DC since 2017. These are the reasons customers call us back.
You Reach the Owner
Call us and you get David, the owner — not a national dispatch centre selling your job on to whoever is free. That is the whole reason the business exists in this shape.
A Price Before We Drive Out
You get a firm quote before anyone is dispatched, and that is the price you pay. If the job turns out different from what was described, we tell you before we start, not after.
Genuinely Local Response
Our technicians live and work around Washington DC, so the arrival time we give you is one we can actually keep — usually 15 to 20 minutes.
Insured, Registered, Accountable
We are a registered DC business, insured on every job, and BBB A+ accredited. Our workmanship guarantee means if something is not right, we come back and make it right.
Hardware We Stand Behind
We fit Medeco, Schlage, Mul-T-Lock and Kwikset SmartKey — never cheap substitutes that fail in a year and cost you twice.
Built on Repeat and Referral
186+ verified Google reviews and a five-star rating. Most of our work comes from customers who called us before, or were sent by someone who did.
What Washington DC Customers Say About Us
DC Locksmith Squad holds a 5-star rating on Google from 186+ verified customer reviews and is BBB A+ accredited. Read them yourself before you call anyone.
"Our locks were changed within half an hour of calling, and the technician was thorough and professional throughout."
Our Story
DC Locksmith Squad opened in 2017, but the work started well before that. Our locksmiths had already spent years serving the Washington metropolitan area — DC, Maryland and Virginia — and kept running into the same gap: customers could not get a straight answer on price, a realistic arrival time, or the same person twice.
So we built the company we would have wanted to call. It is family owned and deliberately small. The phone is answered by David, the owner. Quotes are given before anyone is dispatched. The van that turns up is ours.
What We Set Out to Do
- Fast, professional service for the community we live in.
- Fair prices, with no middleman costs added on top.
- Bringing our full expertise into our neighbours’ homes and businesses.
- Working toward safer neighbourhoods across the DMV.
We handle residential, commercial and automotive locksmith work with the same team — lockouts, rekeys, lock changes and repairs, high-security hardware, master key systems, panic bars, access control and CCTV, plus transponder keys and fobs programmed on-site.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long has DC Locksmith Squad been in business?
We have been family owned and operating in Washington DC since 2017. Before opening, our locksmiths had already spent years working across the DMV — Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia.
Are you licensed and insured?
We are fully insured on every job and BBB A+ accredited, and we are a registered DC business. We are not "licensed" — the District of Columbia does not require a locksmith licence, so any DC locksmith advertising one is describing something that does not exist here. We would rather tell you that than claim a credential we do not hold.
What are your business hours?
Monday to Thursday and Sunday we are open 7:30 AM to 10:00 PM. Friday we close at 5:00 PM, and we are closed on Saturday. We are not a 24/7 company, and we would rather be straight about that than leave you without an answer at 3 AM.
Do I actually speak to the owner?
Yes. When you call 202-899-7726 you reach David, the owner. There is no call centre in between, which is also why you can get a real quote and a realistic arrival time on the first call.
Which areas do you cover?
All four Washington DC quadrants, plus the surrounding Maryland and Virginia suburbs — including Bethesda, Silver Spring, Rockville, Hyattsville, College Park, Arlington, Alexandria, Falls Church, McLean and Reston.
How quickly can you get to me?
Typically 15 to 20 minutes, depending on where you are and traffic at the time. We give you a realistic time when you call rather than a number we cannot keep.
