Need a locksmith Dublin Ohio drivers, homeowners and offices can reach directly? 844 Ohio Key comes to you every day from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM. We make car keys and handle lockouts, rekey and change locks for homeowners and landlords, and take care of lock work for Dublin offices. Dublin is part of our regular service area, so there is no extra travel fee.
A Dublin mobile locksmith, not a call center
When you search for a Dublin mobile locksmith, you want someone who actually comes to you, not a phone number that passes your job to whoever is available. 844 Ohio Key is a mobile locksmith, and the Dublin jobs are ours: our own technicians, in marked 844 Ohio Key vans, giving you the price before any work starts. We don’t dispatch others, we dispatch ourselves.
Before you let any locksmith start, it is worth checking three things: the business name they answer the phone with, a marked vehicle when they arrive, and a full price agreed before the work begins. We are happy to be held to all three.
Car keys and lockouts around Dublin
A lot of our Dublin car work happens in parking garages and apartment lots, especially around Bridge Park. Lockouts, lost keys, a second key, a new key fob: we come to the car, cut and program the key there, and you drive away with it.
Dublin has the same mix of cars as anywhere else in Columbus. We see plenty of Honda, Toyota, Jeep, Ford, Chevrolet, Hyundai and Kia, along with BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Volvo, including current Volvo models with the newer style of key. Whether we can make a key for a particular European model depends on its year and key system, so tell us the vehicle when you call and we will tell you straight away.
In Dublin we recently made new keys for a 2019 Honda Accord whose owner bought the car with keys that had no remote start button. The car already supported factory remote start, so the right keys added it. Not every car is built for that, so tell us the model and we will check.
Car keys made while you work
Around Metro Place, Frantz Road and Perimeter Drive, many of our calls come from people at the office. You stay at your desk, we make the key in the parking lot, and the car is ready when your day is. We also handle keys for company and fleet vehicles, so a business owner can get a spare made for a work truck without taking it off the road.
A spare key before a teenager starts driving
In Muirfield Village and across Dublin, we get the same call more than once: a parent wants a second key made before a teenager starts driving. Recently a Dublin father bought a used Honda for his son and had us make a spare to keep at home before handing it over. Parents with more than one teenage driver usually learn quickly why that spare matters.
Making a spare while you still have a working key costs far less than replacing the only key after it is lost.
Keys locked in the trunk of a 1990 Miata
One Dublin-area customer had the only keys to a 1990 Mazda Miata locked inside the trunk. Instead of taking the car apart to reach them, we used our credentialed access to the key information for that vehicle and made a new key. The job took under 10 minutes and nothing was taken apart.
That information is not available for every vehicle, but when it is, it can turn a long job into a short one.
Rekeys and lock changes for Dublin homes
Most of our Dublin home calls are everyday work: a rekey after buying a house, a lock that has worn out, or an upgrade to a keypad or smart lock.
Just moved to Dublin? The City of Dublin’s new residents page covers utilities, trash pickup and other city services. Put a rekey on that first-week list too, so the only keys that open your home are the ones you hold.
- Muirfield Village and Tartan Fields: rekeys after a purchase, rekeys for owners who rent the home out, lock changes, and home and interior door lockouts.
- Historic Dublin: condo and apartment rekeys after a tenant moves out, rekeys after a home purchase, and new locks after a renovation.
- The Sawmill Road corridor: rekeys, lock changes and keypad or smart-lock upgrades. If your mailing address says Columbus but you think of it as Dublin, we cover you the same way.
- Ballantrae and the Avery Road and Rings Road area: homes, condos and apartments. During office hours, apartment maintenance usually handles lockouts, so we tend to get the after-hours and holiday calls, or the ones where the deadbolt key itself is lost.
Some higher-end Dublin homes have multipoint door hardware, which locks at several points along the door. Parts for those doors can be expensive, so we give you the price before ordering anything, and a deposit may be needed for special-order parts.
When a lockout leaves a drilled lock behind
A Dublin homeowner called us a few days after another locksmith had opened a locked door by drilling the lock. It was a standard Schlage, and the drilled lock was left on the door without a replacement.
We installed a matching Schlage lock and rekeyed it to the homeowner’s original key, so the door worked again and nothing else had to change.
Drilling is sometimes the right call. We pick a lock first whenever we can, and if a lock does have to be drilled, we leave you with a working, matching lock before we go.

Getting to you in Dublin
Most of central Dublin is a straight run up I-270 to US-33 at Exit 17. For the Tuttle side we come in at Exit 15, and for the Sawmill corridor we use the Sawmill Road exit. We know the area well enough to pick the route by where you actually are, not by whatever the GPS suggests.
We also cover nearby Plain City, where new construction keeps us busy with rekeys after people move in.

Common Questions
Do you charge extra to come to Dublin?
No. Dublin is part of our regular service area. The standard daytime service call is $85, with no added travel fee, and the work itself is priced before we start.
Can you make a car key at my office while I work?
Yes. Around Metro Place, Frantz Road and Perimeter Drive we often make keys in the parking lot while the customer stays at work. Tell us the vehicle and where it is parked.
My apartment’s maintenance office is closed. Can you get me in?
Yes. We get most Dublin apartment lockout calls after hours, on holidays, or when the deadbolt key has been lost.
Should I make a spare key before my teenager starts driving?
It is one of the most common Dublin calls we get. A spare made while you still have a working key costs far less than replacing the only key after it goes missing.
Will you drill my lock to get me in?
We pick the lock first whenever we can. If a lock has to be drilled, we replace it with a working lock before we leave, and we can usually match your existing hardware and key.
My address says Columbus, but I live off Sawmill Road. Do you cover me?
Yes. We cover the whole Sawmill Road corridor, whether your mailing address says Dublin or Columbus.
