Locksmith in Greenfield, WI

Locksmith in Greenfield, wherever you are

Looking for a locksmith in Greenfield usually means something is locked right now: the house, the car in a store lot, or a door with a key snapped inside. We come to you with the tools and keys in the vehicle. A house or car lockout usually takes a few minutes once we arrive, and a rekey or a car key takes 15 to 60 minutes. Greenfield is about 8 miles southwest of downtown Milwaukee, and we cover all of it day and night.

Greenfield or Milwaukee on the address?

Greenfield shares its ZIP codes, 53219, 53220, 53221, and 53228, with the city of Milwaukee, so many Greenfield mailing addresses say "Milwaukee, WI." Even the historical marker in Konkel Park lists a Milwaukee mailing address. When you write to us, tell us it is Greenfield and give the nearest cross streets, such as Layton Avenue and 60th Street, so we head to the right side of the line. The price is the same either side of it.

The last town to become a city

Greenfield was first called the Town of Kinnickinnic and took the name Greenfield in 1841. Its old town lines became today's main roads: Greenfield Avenue on the north, College Avenue on the south, 27th Street on the east, and 124th Street on the west, with Layton, Grange, 60th, and 76th following the survey lines in between. Milwaukee and the new suburbs kept taking pieces of the town, and in February 1957 Greenfield incorporated as a city, the last town in Milwaukee County to do so, at about one third of its original size. Today about 37,800 people live here.

Homes, condos, and new owners

Greenfield neighborhoods mix single-family houses, condos, and apartment complexes, and new owners rarely know who else holds a key. We rekey the locks on your doors so only your new keys work, and the hardware stays in place. A first lock rekey starts at $59 (rekeying).

Many Greenfield owners now ask for keypad and smart locks, especially for a side door, a door used by a dog walker, or a rental unit. We install the lock, set up the codes, and leave a working key backup in case the batteries die. Smart lock installation starts at $99 (smart locks).

Shopping trips on 76th Street

South 76th Street runs through Greenfield as one of the busiest shopping roads in the area, with Southridge Mall just south in Greendale. Big parking lots mean two common calls: keys locked in the car, and keys lost somewhere between the store and the car. For a lockout, tell us the store and the row, and we open the car. For a lost key, we make a new one at the car: a spare when you still have a key starts at $69, a key when all are lost starts at $119, and a push-to-start smart key starts at $159 (smart keys).

Parks along the Root River

The Root River flows through the western part of Greenfield, and the Root River Parkway and city parks like Konkel Park bring walkers and families who park and leave keys behind. A car lockout at a park is the same visit as one in a driveway, and it starts at $69 (car lockout).

Garages and side doors

In a Greenfield home with an attached garage, the door from the garage into the house is often the one used every day and forgotten when locks are changed. When we rekey a house, we include that door and the garage side door so one key works everywhere. If a key breaks inside one of them, we remove it and cut a new one (broken key in a door).

Around Greenfield

Greenfield touches West Allis on the north and the city of Milwaukee on the east. Greendale and Franklin are to the south, and Hales Corners is to the west. We cover all of them.
