Ronald has helped me out too many times to count now with car key issues. He is the best person to go to the DMV and prices a lot fairer than most of the competition in the area or your normal dealership. If you have any key issues, he is the person to go to!

I had the best experience! I had been trying to get duplicate keys for my condo, but the keys are not standard and general key centers (Lowe’s, ACE hardware) didn’t have the right key template. I called Ronald and he was able to help order the right key templates within 2 days and met me at work to get copies made. Couldn’t have been more convenient! Ronald was very responsive and professional. I paid $75 for 5 copies. Highly recommend this business!

What Our Customers Say
Frequently Asked Questions
Is A1 All Locksmith DMV the Department of Motor Vehicles?
No. "DMV" here is the regional nickname for the Washington DC - Maryland - Virginia area. This is a private mobile locksmith, not a government office, and it cannot help with driver licenses, plates, titles, registration or MVA appointments. In Maryland those come from the MVA at mva.maryland.gov. What it does do is cut and program car keys and open locked vehicles, which is locksmith work rather than an MVA function.
What does a locksmith cost in Gaithersburg?
Car and house lockouts start at $89. Customers on the Google profile have published what they paid: $80-100 for a car opening, $160-180 for lock re-configuration with car key copies, over $200 for automotive key work. Rekeying, key cutting and commercial work are priced by hardware and key type. The number is quoted on the phone before a technician is dispatched and confirmed on site before anything starts. Estimates are free.
How fast can somebody get here?
It depends on where you are. The van is based in Gaithersburg 20877, so that is the fastest ZIP — a customer wrote in August that Ronald F. arrived in about 20 minutes. Frederick, Mount Airy and Ijamsville are the far edge of the service area and take considerably longer. Call 240-701-6448 and ask for a current ETA rather than working from an estimate on a page.

Sí, las 24 horas. hay reseñas escritas en español en el perfil de Google y el negocio las responde en español. Servicios: apertura de casa y de auto, llaves y controles de auto, copia y duplicado de llaves, cambio de combinación de cerraduras, y cerrajería comercial. Llame al 240-701-6448.
Are you licensed in Maryland?
Maryland requires a state locksmith license under the Maryland Locksmiths Act, and this business does not hold one yet, so nothing on this site claims otherwise. What it can point to instead: trading since 2014, 387 Google reviews at 4.9 out of 5, a published starting price, and a price quoted before dispatch rather than after arrival. Ask any locksmith for their license number before work starts — including this one.
