Stay calm and call Orion's Key at (360) 524-2649. We answer immediately and dispatch as fast as possible — no hold music, no call centers. Have your ID and proof of ownership or residency ready when we arrive.

Question 3

Do you offer 24/7 emergency locksmith services?

Accepted Answer

Yes — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year including every holiday.

Question 4

How fast does a locksmith arrive in Vancouver WA?

Accepted Answer

We answer immediately and get on the road as fast as possible. Arrival time depends on your location within Clark County, current traffic, and any jobs already in progress. We always confirm a realistic timeframe before we head out — no false promises.

Question 5

How do you determine your pricing?

Accepted Answer

We provide upfront quotes over the phone before we arrive — no hidden fees. Pricing depends on the service type, your vehicle make and model (for automotive work), and your location. What we quote is what you pay.

Question 6

What forms of payment do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept cash, credit cards, and debit cards.

Question 7

How much does a locksmith cost in Vancouver WA?

Accepted Answer

Pricing varies by service. Emergency lockouts, key cutting, and lock rekeying are priced differently from car key programming or smart fob replacement. Call (360) 524-2649 for a fast, accurate quote specific to your situation.

Question 8

How long does it take to rekey a lock?

Accepted Answer

Rekeying a standard residential lock typically takes 5–15 minutes per lock. Commercial rekeying and master key systems take longer depending on the number of locks and the system complexity.

Question 9

Can you make a replacement car key if I lost all my keys?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We provide all-keys-lost service for most makes and models. We decode the lock or use the VIN, code-cut a new key, and program the transponder chip or smart fob on-site — no tow to the dealer required.

Question 10

What should I do if my key breaks in the lock?

Accepted Answer

Do not force it — you could push the broken piece deeper into the cylinder. Call Orion's Key. We extract broken keys, cut a replacement, and inspect the lock for damage.

Question 11

Do you program key fobs and smart keys?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We program transponder keys, flip fobs, remote head keys, smart/proximity fobs, and keyless entry remotes for most domestic and import vehicles using professional Autel and Lonsdor programming equipment.

Question 12

How can I improve my home or business security?

Accepted Answer

Common upgrades include rekeying locks after moving in, upgrading to Grade 1 deadbolts, adding a secondary lock, and installing electronic or smart locks. Our locksmiths can assess your property and recommend practical solutions.

Question 13

What should I do if I've lost my house keys?

Accepted Answer

Call Orion's Key to rekey your locks immediately. Rekeying changes the internal pins so the old key no longer works — it is faster and less expensive than replacing the entire lock hardware.

Question 14

How can I contact you for services?

Accepted Answer

Call or text (360) 524-2649 any time — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can also use the contact form on our website.

Question 15

Do you have a warranty on your services?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We stand behind our work. Warranty specifics vary by service — ask your technician at the time of service for details.
