In the 1790s, this peninsula was known as the Great Swamp. Today it is home to 5,806 residents in ZIP 20764, holds 1.21 square miles of creeks and coves, and has homes ranging from cottages built when the Emma Giles steamer still called here to brand-new custom builds.
King Locksmiths and Doors Inc. brings deep, hands-on expertise to that mix. We repair, rekey and upgrade locks for every property type in southern Anne Arundel County, all from one accountable team.
Cedarhurst homeowners, boatyard managers off Woods Wharf Road and families rooted here for generations all call King Locksmiths for the same reason: one accountable team that handles a cottage deadbolt and a commercial access panel with equal skill.
Call King Locksmiths and a trained technician heads to your home, car, dock or business at any hour, ready to restore access and leave everything locked up tight.
On a peninsula this close-knit, word of mouth decides who gets the next call. Ours was earned one job at a time, from a front door rekey on Bast Avenue to hardware upgrades for waterfront shops. Our Google reviews show neighbors praising punctual arrivals, careful workmanship and repairs that last.
Security spending should match the property, not a sales quota. We diagnose first, then quote a firm price by the job. Good, better and best options mean a seasonal cottage and a year-round family home each get protection that fits the budget.
King Locksmiths is a licensed, bonded and insured locksmith company, so every job is backed by accountability you can verify. We are members of ALOA Security Professionals Association and the Safe and Vault Technicians Association (SAVTA). That membership keeps our team current on safe installation, safe repair, safe opening and safe relocation standards. Local awards for service quality confirm what our customers already know.

One waterfront peninsula, thousands of doors, and one locksmith team that knows how every neighborhood here is built, locked and lived in.
Most properties here combine several security needs: a house, a detached garage, a boat shed, and maybe a rental or business. King Locksmiths covers all of them as a full-service locksmith and door security company, from bayfront homes facing the Chesapeake Bay to public buildings. Call today to plan yours.
Homes here span every era, and we service them all. On older properties near the Captain Avery Museum, a waterman’s home dating to 1860, we restore mortise locks, skeleton key hardware and period brass.
Newer builds get heavy-duty deadbolts, reinforced strike plates and smart locks from Schlage Encode, Yale and Kwikset Halo. We also repair sliding and French door locks and window locks, and we install lever handles for aging in place.
Schedule a commercial lock audit and we'll map every door, key holder and access point, then recommend upgrades that meet code and fit your annual operating budget.
Vehicles here earn their keep hauling kayaks, towing boat trailers down to community launches and packing roadsides during oyster festival weekend. When a key goes missing or a fob dies, our mobile automotive locksmith comes straight to you.
We cut laser keys, program transponder, proximity and push-to-start smart keys, replace valet and emergency keys, and repair ignitions, trunk locks and door locks, often at a fraction of dealership cost.
