Peak Locksmith is a mobile automotive locksmith serving Tacoma, WA 24 hours a day. We unlock vehicles, cut and program keys and fobs, and repair ignitions at your location, with fast local dispatch and same-day service on most calls. Unlocks and keys are quoted by phone before dispatch, and every price is confirmed first. Call (253) 262-5630.
Whether you are stuck at the Tacoma Dome after a concert, in a Proctor District driveway with a fob that stopped working, or at a Port of Tacoma terminal gate with a snapped truck key, one call brings a licensed technician with a fully equipped van. We service cars, pickups, vans, motorcycles, fleet vehicles, and most RVs, and we cover Lakewood, University Place, Fife, Puyallup, and Federal Way as well.
Lockouts and lost keys do not wait for business hours. Our automotive team runs around the clock, and dispatch gives you a realistic arrival time based on where the nearest van actually is. For a step-by-step on what to do while you wait, see the car lockout service page.
Lost the only key? We originate a new key by code from your VIN, program it to the immobilizer, and remove the lost key from the vehicle memory so it can never start the car. No towing, no dealership appointment. Most replacements are finished in a single visit.
Doors, trunks, and glove boxes opened without damage using tools matched to your make and model. We verify ownership, open the vehicle, and can cut a spare on the spot so the same lockout does not happen twice.
Chip keys, flip keys, and proximity fobs programmed on site for most domestic, Japanese, Korean, and European brands. A second key while you still have the first is the cheapest option; see car key duplication for pricing and timing.
Key will not turn, turns but nothing happens, or the key is stuck? Worn wafers, a failed ignition switch, or a bent key are the usual causes. We repair or replace the ignition cylinder roadside and key it to your existing key whenever possible.
Damaged by a break-in attempt, seized after a wet Tacoma winter, or simply worn out, door and trunk cylinders can be repaired, rekeyed, or replaced. We can also rekey all of a vehicle locks after a theft so a stolen key is useless.
Delivery vans, contractor trucks, and rental fleets in the Port and Nalley Valley industrial areas get priority scheduling, duplicate key sets, and after-hours lockout coverage. Ask about keying multiple vehicles alike to simplify driver handoffs.

Get Back on the Road
When your keys go missing, one call is enough. In every Tacoma neighborhood we arrive with key blanks, programmers, and lock tools for your make. Transponder chip replacement, remote and smart key programming, ignition repair, and door lock work are all done where the car sits, whether that is your garage in University Place, a lot in Lakewood, or a street in Puyallup.
Every key is tested in the door, the ignition, and on remote functions before we leave, and you receive a written receipt. If you are also locked out of the house, our emergency locksmith team can handle both on one visit.
Call (253) 262-5630 for a firm quote or to schedule a spare key at a time that suits you.
Yes. Using your VIN and proof of ownership, we look up the key code, cut the blade, and program the transponder or fob to your car immobilizer. This covers most vehicles from the 1990s to current models. The whole process is done at your location.
Usually by a wide margin, and faster. Dealerships often need the car towed in and can take a day or more; we program the same key in your driveway, typically for less. You also avoid the tow bill.
Cars, SUVs, pickups, vans, motorcycles, fleet vehicles, and most RVs from domestic, Japanese, Korean, and European manufacturers. A few exotic and very new models require dealer-only tools; we tell you honestly on the phone if yours is one of them rather than wasting your time.
Often, yes. If the security light flashes, the immobilizer is not recognizing the chip in the key, which we can reprogram or replace. If there is no security light and the starter is silent, it may be electrical or a dead battery, and we will say so rather than charge for a key you do not need.
Yes. We program proximity smart fobs for most push-button-start vehicles, add spares, and replace lost fobs. We also handle the emergency mechanical key hidden inside most fobs and the backup start position, so a dead fob never strands you. Bring the vehicle registration so we can verify ownership before pairing.
Yes. If a key was stolen, we rekey the door and ignition cylinders so the old key no longer works, and erase stolen transponder keys from the immobilizer. Damaged door cylinders from an attempted break-in can be repaired or replaced in the same visit.
