Business Description

Specialties: Our commercial locksmith services include master key systems, key duplication, lock replacement, lock repair, rekeying, and installation of a range of electronic access systems. We also service and install a full scope of commercial doors, including aluminum storefront, automatic door closers, and doors. Residential locksmith services include lock rekeying, door adjustments, duplicating keys, and lock repair. In addition, we offer complete high-security lock services including installation, repair, rekeying, and system design. High-security locks improve security with features like resistance to picking, drilling, and forcing. These improved security measures make the installation, service, and repair of high-security locks, more challenging. Many offer improved bump and key control, which makes keys more difficult to duplicate. However, this means you can't simply have your keys duplicated at any hardware store. When you need service, installation, or duplicate keys for a high-security lock, you need a professional locksmith service like Baltimore Lock & Hardware. Established in 1974. Baltimore Lock & Hardware was founded in 1974 by Eric Wilderson. A third generation locksmith, Eric was mentored by his grandfather and father before going out on his own in 1967. His first business was purchased by a large architectural hardware firm in 1970, where he gained experience in all facets of the security industry. Eric reopened his own company again in 1974 and steadily grew Baltimore Lock & Hardware to what it is today, with the assistance of many fine friends and associates. In 2008, the business transferred ownership to current owners Dee and Keith Scott. Dee came to work for Baltimore Lock & Hardware in 1980, and has more than 35 years of experience with the business operations of the company. Replacing hardware early on, Keith developed more diverse experience in doors, frames, and associated hardware over his 40-year career. Coming to work for Baltimore Lock & Hardware in 1989, Keith became owner of the company in 2008. Dee and Keith Scott are happily married.
