Our beliefs and values

Honest locksmithing for our home community, since 2011.

Davidson Lock & Key was established in July of 2011 with a desire to serve our home community and beyond with honesty and fairness. We strive to provide peace of mind through clear understanding and proper implementation of your security hardware needs. It is our goal to provide our customers with the most professional, friendly, and knowledgeable advice and/or service experience possible.

We also believe that best in class service can be easily undermined by less than adequate (we'll call it "Shoddy") products. That's why we will only recommend or install high quality or better security products. The opposite is true too: high quality products can and often do fail to perform due to "Shoddy" workmanship. That's why we only perform top notch work that will stand the test of time and use.

We approach all situations with equal care and attention. All lockouts are opened with the utmost care. Whether it be your home or business, a family car or a classic, or anywhere in between, all are managed with the same cautious touch.

“Amazing & Affordable Service. Has all the technology to do things right the first time. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Programmed a remote to my 2008 Cadillac XLR & My 2019 GMC Yukon Called several places he said yes and had the technology to make it happen.”
Anthony Thornton Speaks · Google review, September 2026
“I found Davidson Lock and Key on google. He called me right back and came out the next day to replace a lock on our back door. He even checked two hardware stores to get the best price on the door knob. He was very professional and reasonable. I would recommend him and will call him again if needed for other locksmith work.”
Brenda · Google review, October 2026

Notes from customers over the years

“I accidently locked my son in the car when I was dropping him off at our sitters house, so I did a quick Google search for the nearest locksmith. When I mentioned that I had a child locked in the car he dropped everything and rushed over! He was there in less than 10 minutes and quickly got inside my Tundra. I wasn't aware at the time that Philip doesn't charge when a child is involved, how awesome is that? He was very professional and knowledgeable and I can't thank him enough for providing a great service. I'll definitely be calling him if I need lock or key services in the future and you should too.”
P. Grimes, Lawrenceville, GA, January 2016
“I locked my only key fob in the trunk of my VW bug on a Saturday in Sugar Hill. Philip arrived in 20 minutes, was extremely professional and knowledgeable. He knew the risks of that situation and informed me ahead of time that even though he could get my doors open, that my type of car may prevent me from accessing the trunk. He got my door open in two minutes and I was able to access the trunk through the pass through. Wonderful service and if I'm ever in the need for a professional, legitimate locksmith, he will be my first call! Thank you Philip!”
A. Wilkinson, Sugar Hill, GA, December 2015
“I needed a new proximity fob with key for my 2015 Genesis. Dealers were quoting me $450.00. That seemed ridiculous to me so I reached out to Davidson Lock and Key who quoted me $225.00. I was a little skeptical but Davidson Lock and Key did what they said they would do using a OEM fob. I appreciate the way the transaction was handled.”
M. York, Lawrenceville, GA, August 2018
“Philip Davidson came and helped me replace all of the locks on my office and installed new, secure locks in every room and added additional security to my office entry door. His pricing was very reasonable, his service was excellent. I also used his services to replace the locks at my house. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a good, honest locksmith.”
H. Shurek, Buford, GA, April 2014
“I called Davidson Lock & Key to install a new deadbolt at the front door, as there wasn't one! Not only did Philip respond in a timely manner, but he cleaned up completely, which you don't always find anymore, AND my little dog loved him! I highly recommend Davidson L&K for anything you need, they are fast, friendly & reliable, not to mention reasonable rates.”
A. Spell, Buford, GA, January 2012
“Thank you so much for taking care of my little brother! I live out of state and, when he called me for help when he locked his keys in his truck, you got there quickly, provided outstanding service, and at a better price than any of your competition! Hands down, the best locksmith I have ever dealt with!! Will recommend you to anyone in your area!”
J. Birdwell, Lawrenceville, GA, June 2013
“Philip was recommended to me by my sister who had used him in the past and was very pleased. For security reasons, I needed all my outside locks changed, and he was able to come over quickly and change them for me. His price was very reasonable. I will recommend Philip to anyone looking for a locksmith.”
J. Layne, Buford, GA, September 2013
“I want to thank Philip for doing an excellent job. I needed a remote key fob programmed for my car. Not only did he meet me on my schedule but he fixed it quickly. Thanks for a job well done! Have a blessed day.”
J. McFarland, Lawrenceville, GA, January 2016
Consumers beware

Beware of Scam Locksmiths!

Scam Locksmiths are literally everywhere. There is no City, County, or State known to us that is safe from this Nightmare. Don't be caught off guard.

  1. The safest practice is simply to do your research before you ever need a locksmith. Look online, call around, ask as many questions as you need (pricing firm and clear, location, etc).

  2. If you're not happy, you cannot understand clearly, or it just doesn't seem right, move on to the next one.

  3. Do not give out your specific address (a major nearby intersection or landmarks are enough to gauge your location) unless you are satisfied and intend to hire them.
