Car Lockouts
The most common emergency call we receive. Keys locked inside, keys lost, fob battery dead and no backup—we handle every scenario. We use professional long-reach tools and air wedges to open your vehicle without scratching the paint or damaging the door frame. We service all makes and models, from Chevy trucks to Honda Civics to Mercedes SUVs.
House Lockouts
Locked out of your home is stressful in any weather, but especially dangerous during Albuquerque summers or cold winter nights. We respond quickly to house lockouts across all Albuquerque neighborhoods—from the Northeast Heights to the South Valley—and work on all residential lock types including knob locks, deadbolts, and keypad entry systems.
Business Lockouts
A business lockout at opening time can cost you customers and revenue. We treat commercial lockout calls as priority dispatches and aim to have a technician at your door within 20 to 45 minutes. We service commercial-grade knobs, levers, deadbolts, and electronic access systems.
Broken Key Extraction
A broken key stuck in a lock can make the lock completely inoperable. Our technicians use specialized extraction tools to remove broken key fragments without destroying the lock cylinder, preserving your hardware and getting you access fast.

Frequently Asked Questions — Emergency Locksmith
What is the fastest way to get a locksmith in Albuquerque?
Call Just In Time Locksmith directly at (505) 818-0720. A dispatcher answers 24/7 and will send the nearest available technician. Calling is always faster than submitting an online form or requesting through a third-party app, which can add delays.
Do you charge extra for after-hours emergency calls?
We provide upfront pricing on every call before work begins. Pricing may vary slightly depending on the time of day and the specific service required. We always quote the total before starting so there are no surprises.
How long does an emergency lockout take?
Once a technician arrives on site, most residential and automotive lockouts are resolved in 5 to 15 minutes. The total time from your call to being back inside is typically 25 to 50 minutes depending on your location in the Albuquerque metro.
Is it safe to call a locksmith I found online in Albuquerque?
Locksmith scams are common in Albuquerque — many paid ads lead to out-of-state call centers that dispatch unvetted subcontractors and dramatically inflate prices on arrival. Verify you are calling a local business with genuine Google reviews, a real local phone number, and a business address in Albuquerque. Just In Time Locksmith is locally owned by Justin Rodriguez and has 132 verified five-star Google reviews.
What if I am locked out in an unsafe location?
If you feel unsafe — near a dark roadway, in an isolated area, or during an active crime — call 911 first. Once you are safe, call us at (505) 818-0720. We can stay on the phone with you while you wait and can coordinate with first responders if needed.
Do you respond to emergencies in Rio Rancho and the surrounding metro?
Yes. We serve all of Albuquerque and the surrounding metro including Rio Rancho, Bernalillo, Corrales, Sandia Heights, and other nearby communities. Response times to areas outside central Albuquerque may be slightly longer — we will give you an honest estimate when you call.
