Locked Out in Albuquerque? Give Us the Quadrant and a Cross Street
It's 11 at night, the car is locked, and the keys are on the driver's seat. Call (505) 347-2895. Every Albuquerque address carries a quadrant, NE, NW, SE or SW, so start there, then give us a cross street or a landmark. We quote the price on the phone before anyone drives out, then give you a real arrival time for where you actually are.
"I locked my keys in my rental car this morning (5:30 am) with a 7:10 am flight. ... They saved my day by being quick and responsive and I made my flight."
Have this ready when you call
- Quadrant and cross street. "Montgomery and Wyoming NE" tells us a lot more than "by the mall."
- What's locked. A car (year, make and model), a house, an apartment, an office, an RV, a storage unit or a gate.
- Keys inside, lost or broken. A lockout and a lost key are different jobs with different prices.
- Anyone inside. Tell us right away about a child or pet in a locked car. If anyone is in danger, call 911 first.

Call (505) 347-2895Our Shop Is on 3rd St NW. Here Is How That Plays Across the City
Roadrunner Lock and Key works out of 3803 3rd St NW, Albuquerque, NM 87107, in the city's Northwest quadrant. Albuquerque covers about 189.5 square miles, so a call from the Westside, the Northeast Heights near the Sandia foothills or the far Southwest is a different drive from one a few blocks from the shop. Call (505) 347-2895 and we will give you a real arrival time.
The city climbs from about 4,949 feet near the Rio Grande to 6,165 feet in the Sandia Heights foothills, according to Wikipedia. Central Avenue and the railroad tracks split the quadrants, and the river runs north to south through the middle. The hour matters too. I-25 and I-40 at 5 PM are not the same roads at 2 AM.
Lost Car Keys and Key Fobs in Albuquerque, Done at the Car
Lost the only key in a parking lot off Coors, or the push-to-start fob quit on a Sunday night? You don't need a tow to the dealership. Roadrunner Lock and Key cuts replacement car keys and replaces and programs key fobs where your car is parked, 24/7. Call with the year, make and model, and we'll confirm we can do that vehicle before we drive out.

"I had a great experience with Cisco - he was very patient as we worked through a key-reprogramming issue for my son's car. His advice was spot-on and we got the problem solved."
Rekeys, Deadbolts and Lock Changes for Albuquerque Homes
Moved into a house in the Northeast Heights or an apartment near UNM, and no idea who else has a key? Rekeying changes the pins inside your locks so every old key stops working, and you keep the hardware. If a lock is worn out or you want something stronger, we replace deadbolts and install new locks on the same visit, with the price quoted first.
Locked out of the house instead? That is a residential lockout, and we handle those day or night. See our residential locksmith services, the rekeying vs. lock replacement cost comparison and deadbolt vs. regular lock.
Just got the keys to a new place? Rekey before you unpack.
Call (505) 347-2895Commercial Lockouts and Rekeys for Albuquerque Businesses
Locked out of the shop before opening, or a manager left and the key didn't come back? Roadrunner Lock and Key handles commercial lockouts, rekeying after staff changes, lock replacement, master key systems and access control for Albuquerque storefronts, offices and commercial buildings. One call gets you the price, and once the rekey is done, the keys that walked out stop working.
See our commercial lockout services and 5 master key system risks and how to fix them.
RV, Storage Unit, Gate and Bike Lock Lockouts
Not every lockout is a front door. We also handle RVs locked with the keys inside, storage units you can't get into, gates that won't unlock and bike locks with a lost key. These are part of the same 24/7 service as car and house lockouts. Tell us what the lock is and where it is, and we'll quote the price on the phone before we come.
For a storage unit, give us the facility name and unit number when you call. For an RV, tell us whether it is the entry door or a storage compartment.
Hiring a Locksmith in Albuquerque? Run the 505 Test First
Search for a locksmith in Albuquerque late at night and some of the listings are call centers that send whoever is free. The 505 Test is five quick checks: a local 505 number, a business name when they answer, a street address you can find on Google Maps, a marked vehicle and a total price before they roll. Miss one, and you can hang up.
We pass all five: (505) 347-2895, a shop at 3803 3rd St NW, our name and address on the van, and the price on the phone. The car lockout scams guide lists the other red flags, and our 132 Google reviews come from customers across our whole service area.
