TNT Locksmith is not a call center routing jobs to whoever is closest. Our storefront sits right on Woodside Avenue in Lakeside (zip code 92040), which means when you call, you are reaching a local business that knows this area.

From the neighborhoods off Wildcat Canyon Road to the businesses near the Lakeside Historic District, we cover the whole community. Whether you are dealing with a lockout on a Sunday night or need a complete rekey after buying a home off Woodside Ave, we are the crew that shows up - not a stranger dispatched from forty miles away.
Our shop on Woodside Avenue is also a walk-in resource for customers who want to come in, talk through their security options, and get keys made on the spot. If you are a Lakeside resident looking for a locksmith you can trust by name and face, that is exactly what TNT is built to be.

"It took around 30 minutes from the time I noticed l left my keys inside my truck to me calling TNT and the guy opening the lock. I was having lunch and had to meet clients that afternoon afterward. They were friendly, fast, reliable, and very professional. Thanks for sending your best locksmith services."- Miguel Salazar, Lakeside CA · Google Review
"The best Locksmith I have ever dealt with! Ryan is like the "Tony Stark" of locksmith technology exceeded my expectations in in all regards, service ,cost and perhaps ,most importantly...ingenuity. TNT Locksmith had been recommended to me by Blossom Valley Detailing as I needed a key FOB for a somewhat obscure Scion xD. Not a lot of parts out there for an out of production car and all I had was a single metal key to start with."- John Andersen, Lakeside CA · Google Review
