Oxford, Michigan Locksmith
24/7 Lockouts in Oxford
We specialize in non-destructive entry. Whenever possible we pick the lock or bypass the system rather than damage your door or your vehicle. In the rare case drilling is the only option left, anything damaged is replaced at the time of entry, so your property is secure before we leave.
- Homes, apartments, and rentals
- Storefronts, offices, and shops
- Cars, trucks, and vans
Car Keys and Fobs for Oxford Drivers
We come to the vehicle — your driveway, your workplace, or wherever it’s sitting.
- Emergency vehicle lockouts
- Broken key extraction
- Key cutting: standard, double-sided, track (laser cut), and Tibbe keys — cut by code or by duplication
- Smart key programming for push-button start vehicles
- Standard remote and transponder programming, including chip cloning on supported vehicles
- “All keys lost” service, which clears every previously programmed key from the vehicle’s computer and requires a minimum of two new keys
Home Lock Services in Oxford
Just closed on a house in Oxford Lakes or Waterstone? Re-keying the existing hardware is usually the smarter move over buying all new locks.
- Re-key locks — we disassemble the lock and change the internals to accept a new key. Every re-key includes two new keys, and copies can be cut on the spot for an additional fee.
- Deadbolt installation — including drilling a door that never had one, and keying it to match your existing locks if you want.
- Hardware repair — a worn-out part doesn’t always mean a new assembly. We diagnose first.
- Broken key extraction — we pull the remnants and cut you a new key on the spot.
- Security assessment — a walk-through of the house, with options that fit your budget.

Why Oxford Calls Anker Lock & Key
Anker Lock & Key grew out of a background in precision manufacturing — building and maintaining tight-tolerance components — and that carries into the lock work. The technician who shows up is meticulous, mechanically inclined, and punctual.
Before quoting a fix we assess the whole door, not just the part that failed. If we find something else along the way — a squeaky hinge, an eroded frame, a worn strike — we document it and tell you, and in most cases we can take care of it on the same visit rather than booking you a second appointment.
Owner Dan Ankersen runs the company, and Anker Lock & Key is a member of the Locksmith Security Association of Michigan.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are you really available 24 hours a day in Oxford?
Yes. Call (248) 241-8585 any hour, any day of the week. Lockouts don’t keep business hours, so neither do we.
Can you make a car key if I've lost every copy?
Yes. This is an “all keys lost” job: we program the vehicle to accept new keys, which deletes every previously programmed key or smart key from the vehicle’s computer. The process requires a minimum of two new keys to complete.
Should I re-key my locks or replace them?
Re-keying is often the better call on both security and cost. We take the lock apart and change the internals so it accepts a new key, which means the old keys stop working without you paying for all new hardware. If the hardware itself is worn or the style doesn’t suit you, replacement makes more sense — a technician can tell you which applies.
Can you put a deadbolt on a door that doesn't have one?
Yes. We drill the door for the new hardware and can key the deadbolt to match your existing locks so you’re not carrying an extra key.
How do I get a quote for work in Oxford?
Call (248) 241-8585 or send a message through the contact form. For vehicles, have the year, make, and model ready. For a home or building, a quick description of the door and the hardware gets you a much closer answer.
