Let's be honest - nobody ever plans to call a locksmith. It usually happens when something goes sideways. You step out for two seconds and the door locks behind you. Your car key decides to disappear five minutes before work. Or the office lock jams when you're closing up. We're P & G Emergency Locksmith, and when Decatur needs help like that - fast, local, no nonsense - we show up.
We're not a corporate chain or a random number from a Google ad. We live and work here. You might've seen our vans parked off Ponce, or helping someone out behind the Kroger on Commerce. We've been keeping Decatur moving for over two decades, and we still answer the phone ourselves.
When folks search "locksmith near me" or "locksmith Decatur GA", we come up - and for good reason. We know these streets like we know our key blanks. Whether it's a rekey job in Oakhurst, a late-night unlock near Glenlake Park, or a fob replacement outside Agnes Scott, we've been there, done that - often twice in the same week.
It surprises people how often we get repeat customers. Not because they lose their keys twice (although it happens), but because once you find a locksmith who actually shows up, doesn't overcharge, and doesn't talk down to you - you keep the number. That's us. Ask around.
Doors don't care about the time. Neither do we. You call, we answer. Whether it's 6AM, midnight, or during a Sunday BBQ, we're one call away. People ask, "Are you really open 24/7?" Yes - we take shifts, and someone is always on the board.
There was a guy who called us after his bakery lock froze shut - at 4:40 AM. He was about to lose the morning batch. We were there in 20, got the cylinder unfrozen, and the croissants made it to the oven. That's what we mean by "emergency locksmith" - fast, local, and prepared for weird hours.
It happens. One minute you're buying fresh peaches, the next you realize your fob is nowhere to be found. Or maybe it fell in that drain by the curb. Either way - don't panic. Our automotive locksmith team handles this stuff all the time.
We replace and program keys and fobs for nearly every make and model: Toyota, Ford, Chevy, Honda, Lexus, BMW - you name it. We can cut you a brand-new key and program it on-site, right in the parking lot, with no dealership wait, no tow, no nonsense.
Need a smart key or push-to-start? We've got the gear. We keep everything mobile so you don't have to go anywhere. You call - we show up ready.
Sometimes you're not locked out - you're just upgrading. You've moved into a new place and want to make sure no one else still has a key. Or you're running a business and need to rekey after a staffing change. We do that too - fast, neat, and without overcomplicating it.
Homeowners call us for deadbolt installs, smart lock setups, door repairs, garage locks, and even mailbox keys. Business owners use us for rekeys, master key systems, exit hardware, and storefront security. If it opens and closes - we probably service it.
People sometimes ask, "Is it worth rekeying instead of changing the whole lock?" For most homes - yes. It's secure, affordable, and we can do it without leaving visible marks. But we'll tell you honestly if a replacement makes more sense. No upselling.
And yes - we clean up after ourselves. You'd be surprised how many companies don't.
"Do you really get to me in under 30 minutes?"
Usually, yes. Sometimes even faster. We tell you exactly when to expect us - and we show up. If traffic delays us, we call. No ghosting, ever.
"Can you do car keys right there in my driveway?"
Yes. We cut and program on the spot. You don't need to tow your car or wait days. You can be back on the road in under an hour, often less.
"Is everything you do licensed and insured?"
Of course. Every tech on our team is fully licensed in Georgia and covered by insurance. We follow state and city code, and we take it seriously.
"Do you work holidays?"
We do. Someone is always on rotation. It's not fun, but lockouts don't take holidays, so neither do we.
This isn't a side gig. We're not some out-of-town crew working under a fake local name. We're in the same grocery store lines, same traffic, same neighborhoods as you. That's why we care about what we do - because we'll probably see you again.
You can check our full service area list to see if we cover your part of Decatur - but chances are, we've already worked on your block.
You talk to a person - not a system. We ask where you are, what's going on, and give you a clear ETA. You get upfront pricing, a real tech, and someone who knows what they're doing.
Then we show up. We unlock, rekey, fix, cut, program - whatever's needed. And we do it without making a scene or messing up your hardware.
If your keys are lost, broken, locked inside, or doing something weird - give us a call. If your business needs secure rekeys fast, or your home needs a smart lock that doesn't feel like a college thesis to install - we're ready.
We're P & G Emergency Locksmith. We live here. We work here. We show up when we say we will. And we fix the problem like it's our own.
Call us anytime. We'll take it from there.
