Editorial Review
Our Take on Columbus Metro Locksmith
Included as a mobile service because too few shops passed our checks. The review volume is large and Google's summary praises promptness, but the 4.5 rating, the missing storefront and the multi-city site mean you should verify before you book.

Company Background
About Columbus Metro Locksmith
Columbus Metro Locksmith has the second-largest review base on this list, 4.5 stars from 821 Google reviews read October 29, 2026. It is also the lowest-rated company here, and the reason is visible in the breakdown: roughly one reviewer in nine gave one star, so read the recent comments before you book.
The company is a mobile service. Its Google address is 3678 Hogans Run Road, and the website shows no shop, so there is no counter to visit. The website says it has more than 25 years of experience, lists emergency, residential, commercial and automotive work, and promises an average arrival of 20 to 30 minutes. Services include lock repair, rekeying, lock installation, master key systems, keypad locks, door closers, broken key extraction, car lockouts and car key replacement.
Google's review summary highlights promptness, kind staff and clear explanations, and rekeying and deadbolt replacement come up repeatedly. The site calls the service 24/7 while Google lists 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. every day, so ask directly about late-night calls.
The website also carries separate pages for Worthington, New Albany, Upper Arlington, Hilliard, Grove City, Gahanna, Westerville, Dublin and other suburbs. Only the Columbus work counts for this list, and a multi-city page set is a reason to confirm that the technician who arrives is local to you.
Columbus Metro Locksmith suits homeowners and landlords who want a fast mobile rekey or lockout and are comfortable vetting a company without a storefront. It suits less well anyone who wants a shop to visit or a team they can look up by name, since the site names no technicians.
Before you book, ask for a written quote that includes the service call fee, ask for photo ID and a marked vehicle on arrival, and ask about the warranty on parts and labor. The site says its technicians are licensed and insured, but no licence number is given. Ohio has no state locksmith licence, so check the company's City of Columbus or Franklin County business licence.

Columbus Metro Locksmith FAQs
Is Columbus Metro Locksmith licensed?
Ohio has no state locksmith licence, so the check is on the business. Columbus Metro Locksmith says its technicians are licensed and insured, but its website gives no licence number. Ask for its current City of Columbus or Franklin County business licence, photo ID and a marked vehicle on arrival, and a written quote before work starts.
Is Columbus Metro Locksmith available 24 hours?
Its website promises 24/7 emergency service, but Google lists hours of 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. every day. Call 614-505-4103 and ask whether a technician can reach you at the hour you need, and what the service call fee will be, before you agree.
Does Columbus Metro Locksmith have a shop I can visit?
No. It is a mobile service listed at 3678 Hogans Run Road, and the website describes no storefront. That is common among mobile locksmiths, but it means you cannot walk in for a key copy, so read recent reviews and confirm the technician's identity before work begins.
Is Columbus Metro Locksmith licensed and insured?
We checked 0 of 1 credentials against the issuing authority. Verified items carry the date we checked; reported items are what the business told us and we could not independently confirm.
What areas does Columbus Metro Locksmith serve?
Columbus. Coverage is as the business describes it, cross-checked against where its recent documented work is. Confirm your address before scheduling, particularly at the edge of a service area.
Does Columbus Metro Locksmith offer emergency service?
Yes, the company lists emergency availability. Response time depends on demand, and after a storm every company in the market is stretched.
What warranty do they offer?
Warranty terms are not on file. Ask for them in writing before work starts.
How was this profile built?
Credentials come from issuing authorities, ratings from the company's Google Business Profile with the date we read them, and the editorial take from our own review of estimates, warranty documents and public feedback. Anything the business told us is labelled as reported.
Can a business pay to improve its profile?
A business can subscribe to manage its own listing details, and it can buy a labelled sponsored placement. Neither changes a ranking position or the editorial assessment on this page.
Is Something Incorrect?
Business information changes. Tell us about an address, phone, website, service area, credential or ownership change, or let us know if this company has closed.
