For a locksmith in Rocky Mount, NC at any hour, call All In Locksmith. We pick up the phone 24/7, and a licensed mobile locksmith drives to your car, house, rental unit or business anywhere in the city.

Do you cover Nash and Edgecombe County?
Yes, we cover both counties, because Rocky Mount itself sits in both. The county line follows the railroad tracks that run north and south through the middle of the city. Homes and shops west of the tracks are in Nash County. Homes and shops east of the tracks are in Edgecombe County.
That split confuses a lot of people when they search for help. Your bill, your deed or your map app might say either county. For us it changes nothing: you dial the same number, you get the same licensed locksmith, and the service runs 24 hours a day on both sides of the tracks.
People here often call the two counties the Twin Counties. We serve Rocky Mount and the towns around it in Nash and Edgecombe. We also offer mobile locksmith service in Wilson and across Wilson County.
Stuck Near I-95 or U.S. 64?
Rocky Mount is a crossroads town. Interstate 95 runs along its west side. U.S. 64 crosses I-95 at Exit 138 on the edge of the city, and U.S. 301 (Wesleyan Boulevard) carries traffic north and south through town. Plenty of drivers on those roads stop in Rocky Mount for gas, food or a room for the night.
A car lockout is hard enough in your own driveway. It is worse in a parking lot 200 miles from your spare key. If that is you, you do not need to know the town. Here is how the call works:
- Tell us the exit number, the road or the name of the store or hotel where the car is parked.
- Give us the year, make and model, so the locksmith brings the right tools.
- Stay with the car if it is safe, and keep your phone on so the locksmith can reach you.
- If the keys are gone and not just locked inside, say so. We may be able to make a new key right there.
Train riders can get stuck too. The Amtrak station downtown sees three trains a day heading north and three heading south. If you step off a train and find your car key lost or locked inside, call us from the station.
Need a New Car Key or Fob in Rocky Mount?
A lost or broken car key does not have to mean a tow. We cut car keys on site, and we set up key fobs and keyless remotes to work with your car, while it stays where it is parked. This works for many makes and models, though not every car.
So before we send anyone out, we ask for the year, make and model. That short check saves you from waiting on a trip that cannot fix your car. If we can do it, a locksmith comes to you with the key blanks and the programming tools.
Here are common reasons Rocky Mount drivers call a car locksmith:
- The only key is lost, and there is no spare.
- The key fob buttons stopped working, or the car will not see the remote.
- A key snapped in half or is too worn to turn.
- A family has two drivers and one key.
One tip saves a lot of stress. Keep your spare key in a different place from your main key, not on the same ring. You can read more about our on-site car key and fob work.
Renting in Rocky Mount? Rekeys for Landlords and Tenants
Rocky Mount is a city of renters as much as owners. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, only 49.0% of the city’s occupied homes are lived in by their owners (QuickFacts, 2020 to 2024). So about half of the homes here are rented.
When so many homes change hands between tenants, old keys pile up. A past renter, a roommate or a repair worker may still hold one. A rekey fixes this without new hardware: we reset the parts inside the lock so it takes a new key, and every old key stops working. The knob, handle and deadbolt stay on the door.
Landlords and property managers call us to:
- Rekey a unit between one tenant moving out and the next moving in.
- Make extra copies of a new key for each tenant.
- Open a unit when a tenant is locked out at night.
- Repair a lock that sticks before it fails for good.
Rocky Mount is also home to North Carolina Wesleyan University and Nash Community College, so student renters live here too. If you rent, read your lease or ask your landlord before you change or rekey a lock yourself. Your landlord may need a copy of the new key.
What Do Rocky Mount Businesses Call a Locksmith For?
Shops, offices and warehouses on both sides of the county line need a commercial locksmith they can reach at 6 a.m. or at closing time. A business usually needs a locksmith at one of a few moments.
An employee leaves and the key does not come back. A manager gets locked out of the store before opening. A back door lock starts to stick after years of use. In each case, we can rekey the lock, open the door, repair the lock or upgrade it, and make new keys for the staff who need them.
If a key holder leaves on bad terms, do not wait for a problem. Rekey that same week. It costs you one visit, and it closes the gap that one missing key leaves open. See our full list of business locksmith services.
Should a Rocky Mount Homeowner Rekey, Repair or Upgrade?
People who own their home have a different question. They want to know which fix fits. Here is the plain rule we use:
- Rekey when the lock works fine but you do not know who has keys. This is the usual first step after you buy a house.
- Repair when the key sticks, the latch does not catch, or the deadbolt is hard to turn.
- Upgrade when the lock is worn out, or when you want a smart lock you open by typing a code or tapping your phone.
One visit can cover a smart lock install, an old lock swapped for a stronger one, and fresh key copies. If a rekey is all your door needs, we will tell you. Learn more about rekeys and lock upgrades for homes.
