Why Right of Entry

Local, licensed, and accountable

The difference between a real local locksmith and a lead-generation middleman is easy to spot.

Actually local

Based in the Hampton Roads/Greater Richmond, VA service area, not a national call center buying local-looking ads. That local coverage means shorter travel across the region and clearer arrival expectations.

When you call Right of Entry, you reach the business owner who will actually be doing the work instead of a dispatcher brokering the job to whoever answers first.

Licensed & insured

Virginia DCJS locksmith licensing and general liability coverage are part of the baseline.

That means your job is handled by an accountable operator, not an anonymous subcontractor with no paper trail.

Transparent pricing

Estimates come before work begins, so scope and price are clear up front.

No bait-and-switch ad pricing, and no mystery trip fee showing up only when the invoice is in your hand.

Disabled veteran-owned

Right of Entry is owned by a Navy veteran with service-connected disability status.

The service standard is straightforward: show up prepared, communicate clearly, and treat the customer's property like it matters.

Common questions

Before you call

Are you licensed to work in Virginia?
Yes. Right of Entry holds a Virginia DCJS locksmith license (DCJS# 11-30690) and carries general liability insurance. Licensing documentation is available on request.
Do you offer emergency lockout service?
Yes — residential, commercial, and automotive lockouts are in scope. Availability can vary, so call directly for the fastest response. Non-destructive entry is always the first approach.
Do you work evenings and weekends?
Availability varies. Call directly rather than submitting a form — it's the fastest way to confirm scheduling and get an accurate estimate based on your location.

“Ron came on short notice as I live out of state and made a trip to take care of things. He took the time to explain everything and understand my situation. He worked diligently and fixed the small issues after he was done. His prices were also very fair for the amount of time he had to spend at my house.”

“Locked file cabinet and no keys. Several calls to a locksmith, Ron answered the call. He came with keys he thought would work, but they didn't. Ron order the new lock, shipped it, showed me how to install it. New lock and keys are in and working! What an honorable man, who made sure the customer was satisfied.”
