Who We Are
Keyed In LLC has been operating in DC, MD, and VA since 2011. We started as a locksmith business catering to residential clients. Since then, we have grown to include commercial clients, government and first responders, multifamily communities, retail, and hospitality sectors.
While we are still experts in locksmith, our services have grown to include complete access control solutions, surveillance and monitoring, credential programming. As part of our holistic approach to security, Keyed In ensures that door infrastructures are repaired or replaced to provide maximum security.
Our technicians are also skilled in garage door repair, gates repair and fabrication, and installation of barrier gates and license plate readers. Keyed In is licensed and insured in the DMV area.
The evolution from residential locksmith to enterprise B2B security integrator didn't happen by adding a sales pitch — it happened by building genuine expertise in the infrastructure that commercial clients require. Our team holds certifications across the major access control platforms and has the mechanical background to address everything from a compromised door frame to a multi-building credential management program.
We work primarily with property managers, multifamily communities, commercial landlords, retailers, government facilities, and places of worship throughout the Washington metropolitan area. Our core commitment hasn't changed: show up when promised, do the work right, document everything, and be reachable when something goes wrong.
Our Approach
Security is a system, not a collection of products. A high-security access control platform installed in a compromised door frame provides a false sense of security. A premium surveillance camera pointed at the wrong angle is an expensive decoration. We start every engagement with a thorough site assessment because we've learned that the right solution depends entirely on what's already there — and what isn't.
We don't recommend what we happen to have in stock. We're platform-agnostic on access control, camera-brand-agnostic on surveillance, and hardware-agnostic on everything else. The recommendation you receive is the one that fits your building, your budget, and your operational constraints — not ours.
