Editorial Standards

Royal Locksmith LLC works from a blue garage-bay storefront at 3180 Olentangy River Road in north Columbus, with marked white vans for calls in the field. The website says the company has served Columbus for more than 16 years. It lists transponder and smart car keys, luxury and European key programming, ECU and immobilizer work, home rekeying, deadbolts and Grade 1 commercial hardware. Royal has 5.0 stars from 87 Google reviews, read October 29, 2026, though its own website still quotes 63 reviews. Walk-in hours are Monday to Saturday, and vans dispatch into the evening. The site's hours and Google's do not match on Sundays, so call first.

    My Mercedes C250 had an ESL issue and I was quoted an extremely high rate at another body shop so I called around for a while and when I called Royal Locksmith, they took care of me right away, quoted me a wayyy lower rate as they were very knowledgeable about my car issue. I immediately towed my car over and my car got fixed right away! Special thanks to Axle and the team. Highly recommended.

    The technician/locksmith came out in a timely manner and started working right away. He came out and programmed my PCM which is not to easy job hats off too you. But he got my car running and key fob working but ran into a problem relearning the crankshaft system and didn't know what to do after that but told me before leaving my residence that he would investigate further. So for the next hour or so I was puzzled didn't know what to do or who to go too to fix this issue. Next thing I know he calls me and says he might have found the fix not only did he drive back to my house for free but he actually fixed the problem. I would definitely recommend this Business for my problems ranging from easy to more complex jobs. Thank you guy's so much and have a nice day.

Company Background

About Royal Locksmith LLC

Royal Locksmith LLC works from a blue garage-bay storefront at 3180 Olentangy River Road in north Columbus, with a fleet of marked white vans for calls in the field. The website says the company has served Columbus for more than 16 years.

Walk-in hours on the website are Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Customers who bring a car in are told there is no mobile dispatch fee for work done in the shop. Vans dispatch Monday to Saturday, with the website giving 8 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. Google lists 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekdays and Saturday and shows Sunday hours as well, so call to confirm what is open when you need it.

Automotive work dominates the site: transponder and smart keys, key fobs, laser-cut keys, ignition repair, and key programming for luxury makes including Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bentley, BMW and Mercedes. ECU and immobilizer programming is listed for all-keys-lost jobs. For homes it lists rekeying, deadbolt installation and keypad locks using Schlage, Kwikset and Yale hardware, and for businesses Grade 1 locks, panic bars and master key systems.

Royal Locksmith LLC has 5.0 stars from 87 Google reviews, read October 29, 2026. The website still quotes 63 reviews and a 4.9 average, so its own figures lag behind Google's. It also displays a BBB seal, which we have not independently checked.

It suits drivers with a lost or hard-to-program car key, and homeowners who want a rekey from a company with an actual shop to visit. It suits less well anyone who needs a technician late at night or on a quiet Sunday, since the stated hours conflict.

Before you book, ask for a written quote, ask whether the price changes between shop and van work, and ask for the warranty on parts and labor. Ohio has no state locksmith licence, so check the company's City of Columbus or Franklin County business licence and ask for photo ID on arrival.

Royal Locksmith LLC FAQs

  • Does a locksmith in Columbus, Ohio need a licence, and is Royal Locksmith licensed?

    Ohio has no state locksmith licence, so the check is on the business. Royal Locksmith shows a BBB seal on its website but states no licence number. Ask for its current City of Columbus or Franklin County business licence, photo ID when the technician arrives and a written quote before work starts.

  • What are Royal Locksmith's hours, and does it come to you?

    The storefront at 3180 Olentangy River Road is open Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., by the website. Vans dispatch Monday to Saturday into the evening, and the website says there is no dispatch fee for work done in the shop. Google shows different hours, so call 614-622-0222 to confirm.

  • Can Royal Locksmith program a luxury or European car key?

    The website lists key coding and programming for makes including Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bentley, BMW, Mercedes and Acura, plus ECU and immobilizer programming when all keys are lost. Ask for a written quote that covers cutting, programming and any trip fee, and confirm your exact model before the van is sent.

  • Is Royal Locksmith LLC 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 Royal Locksmith LLC 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 Royal Locksmith LLC 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.
