Locksmith in Menomonee Falls, WI

Locksmith in Menomonee Falls, a village the size of a city

A locksmith in Menomonee Falls works in the largest village in Wisconsin. On paper it is a village, but it has the homes, hospitals, headquarters, and traffic of a good-sized city. We are a mobile locksmith, so we come to the house, the parking lot, or the shop. Opening a door or a car usually takes a few minutes once we are there, and a rekey, a keypad lock, or a car key takes 15 to 60 minutes. Menomonee Falls is about 14 miles northwest of downtown Milwaukee, in Waukesha County.

The falls, the village, and the Four Corners

The village takes its name from the falls on the Menomonee River, just north of the Main Street bridge. Menomonee Falls incorporated as a village in 1892, and in 1958 it annexed what was left of the Town of Menomonee, which made it about 33 square miles. In 2020 it had 38,527 residents, more than any other village in the state, and its slogan says it plainly: more than a village. The historic center is the Four Corners district along Main Street, and along the river is Lime Kiln Park, where old stone kilns still stand from the days when limestone was burned here.

Lime Kiln Park and the trails along the river draw walkers, runners, and families on weekends. If you lock the keys in the car at the park lot or drop a key somewhere on the trail, tell us which lot you are in, and we come to the car. A car lockout starts at $69, and a new key for a car with no key left starts at $119.

Home lockouts and rekeying

Most of the village is residential, from older houses near the river to newer subdivisions on the west side. A house lockout starts at $69 (house lockout). Tell us the address and which door you want opened, and keep the person who is locked out somewhere warm in winter.

When you move in, or when a roommate, a tenant, or an ex moves out, a rekey makes the old keys useless without new hardware. We rekey every exterior door to one key, from $59 for the first lock and $20 for each additional lock (rekeying). If you would rather stop handing out keys at all, a keypad lock gives each person a code that you can delete later. Installation starts at $99 (smart locks). For a door with only a knob lock, a new deadbolt starts at $119, and a broken key stuck in a lock is removed from $99.

Big employers and big parking lots

Menomonee Falls is home to the headquarters of Kohl's and to hospital campuses of Froedtert and Ascension. Harley-Davidson has a plant here, and Milwaukee Tool has a technology center in the village. All of them run large parking lots, and many of them run shifts that start and end in the dark. A worker who locks the keys in the car at the end of a shift, or a visitor who drops a fob in the hospital lot, can call us at any hour. A car lockout starts at $69 (car lockout).

When the key is lost, we make a new one at the car. A key for a car with no key left starts at $119, and a push-to-start smart key starts at $159 (smart keys). We bring the blanks and the programming equipment, so the car stays where it is. In a big lot, give us the lot letter or the nearest door of the building.

Shops near the Four Corners and offices in the business parks

The Four Corners district has older storefronts with small shops, restaurants, and offices, and the business parks in the village have warehouses and office buildings. For these, we open a locked business from $89 (business lockout), rekey after staff changes from $79 for the first lock, repair door closers from $99, and install keypad access for a back door or an office suite from $149 (access control). Storefront glass doors with a worn cylinder get a new lock from $129.

Driving to Menomonee Falls

The city of Milwaukee borders the village on the east, and Germantown is to the north. Wauwatosa is to the southeast, Brookfield borders the village on the south, and Pewaukee is to the southwest. We cover all of them at the same prices.
