Locksmith in Brookfield, WI

Locksmith in Brookfield, from Bluemound Road to the subdivisions

A locksmith in Brookfield works between two worlds. One is the long commercial strip of Bluemound Road and the office parks along I-94, full of stores, offices, and parking lots. The other is mile after mile of subdivisions with two-car garages, side doors, and keypads. We come to both as a mobile locksmith. A lockout usually takes a few minutes once we arrive, and a rekey, a smart lock, or a car key takes 15 to 60 minutes. Brookfield is about 10 miles west of downtown Milwaukee, in Waukesha County.

A city cut from a town in 1954

Brookfield became a city on August 14, 1954, when about 17.5 square miles of the old Town of Brookfield incorporated. The city has since grown to about 27 square miles, and in 2020 it had 41,464 residents, the third-largest city in Waukesha County. The area is older than the city: Caroline Quiner, the mother of Laura Ingalls Wilder, was born in 1839 near what is now the corner of Brookfield and Davidson Roads. Every summer, Brookfield Days fills Wirth Park with rides, music, and a lot of parked cars.

Brookfield Square and the Bluemound Road lots

Brookfield Square opened in 1967 on Bluemound Road, and the road around it grew into one of the busiest shopping corridors in the Milwaukee area. Big lots, restaurants, and car dealers mean a steady stream of keys locked in cars and fobs that disappear between stores. Tell us the store or the restaurant you parked near, and we come to the car. A car lockout starts at $69 (car lockout).

For a key that is lost, we cut and program a replacement at the car, so the car does not need a tow to a dealer. A spare key made from the one you still have starts at $69 (spare car key), a key for a car with no key left starts at $119, and a push-to-start smart key starts at $159. Bring the car's registration or title so we can confirm it is yours.

Office suites in the I-94 corridor

The office parks along I-94 and Bluemound Road are full of suites that change tenants, managers, and staff every year. Each change raises the same question: who still has a key? We rekey a suite or a whole floor, from $79 for the first lock and $25 for each additional lock (commercial rekey). For offices with many doors and many people, we design a master key system, where each employee opens only the doors they need and a manager key opens all of them; each key in the system starts at $45 (master key systems). Keypad access for a suite starts at $149, and an office lockout starts at $89.

Subdivision homes, garages, and smart locks

Most Brookfield houses have an attached garage, and the door from the garage into the house is the one families use every day. That door often has the simplest lock in the house and the most keys floating around: kids, a cleaning service, a dog walker, a neighbor. We rekey it together with the front and patio doors so one key opens all of them, from $59 for the first lock and $20 for each additional lock (rekeying). Sliding patio doors with a latch that no longer catches get a new lock from $89 (garage and sliding door locks).

A keypad or smart lock on the garage entry door lets you control who gets in. Each person gets a code, a code can be deleted when the dog walker changes, and the door can lock itself after a set time. Installation starts at $99 (smart locks), and we leave a key backup for dead batteries. A house lockout starts at $69.
