Shop town — we start here

We are Locksmith Chicago Clock. The suite is at 100 N Addison Ave Unit 2, Elmhurst, IL 60126. Elmhurst ZIP 60126 is home base — the lot we leave from every day.

Most mornings start with a coffee and a look at the board. York Street retailers. A condo near City Centre. Someone on Myrtle who cannot get the deadbolt to throw after the wood swelled overnight.

If you can see Wilder Park from your porch, we are usually closer than you think.

Elmhurst University weeks are loud. Parents locked out of SUVs. Landlords resetting units before August move-ins. We keep common residential keyways on the truck because Butterfield Park and Berens Park neighborhoods keep asking for the same fixes.

Commercial stops along North Avenue and Addison Avenue get the same treatment as a house call — inspect first, talk price before we cut or swap, test the latch when we leave.

Auto unlocks show up in Metra-adjacent lots and grocery decks off York. Say year, make, and model on the first call. Saves a round trip.

Border parcels toward Villa Park or Lombard — just say so. Call (630) 349-7037. Hours 5 AM – 2 AM daily.

Elmhurst neighborhoods and corridors we cover

Elmhurst is our home town — the shop is at 100 N Addison Ave Unit 2, a block off York Street downtown. That means most Elmhurst calls are short drives. Here is what we typically see in different parts of town:

Downtown Elmhurst & York Street

Around York Street, City Centre, and the Elmhurst Metra station, calls are often car lockouts in the downtown parking decks and street spots, plus storefront and upstairs-office door issues for small businesses. Downtown is usually just a few minutes from the shop.

Near Elmhurst University & Wilder Park

The blocks around Elmhurst University, Wilder Park, and the Elmhurst Public Library mix older single-family homes with rentals. We get lockouts, rekeys when roommates or tenants change, and requests to replace old deadbolts on original doors.

Spring Road business district

The Spring Road shops and the homes around them bring a mix of storefront rekeys, mailbox and back-door locks for small businesses, and house lockouts on the nearby residential streets.

Elmhurst Hospital area (south Elmhurst)

Near Elmhurst Hospital on the south end of town, toward Roosevelt Road, we get car lockouts in parking lots — often from visitors or staff coming off a long shift — plus homes and townhomes in the surrounding subdivisions. We are open 5 AM – 2 AM, which covers most shift changes.

Salt Creek & west Elmhurst

West Elmhurst near Salt Creek and the forest preserve land has a lot of ranches and split-levels, many with garage service doors and side entries that have been rekeyed a dozen times or never. Good candidates for a keyed-alike setup so one key opens everything.

North Avenue corridor

Along North Avenue (IL-64) on the north side of town, it's mostly retail lots, gas stations, and offices, so the calls are car lockouts and commercial doors. The homes just south of North Avenue get the usual lockouts, rekeys, and lock changes.

Next door: Villa Park to the west, Berkeley and Hillside to the east, and Franklin Park and Schiller Park to the northeast. For car trouble anywhere in town, see auto locksmith; for urgent lockouts, emergency locksmith or just call (630) 349-7037.

More Elmhurst streets and landmarks

Cottage Hill, Wilder Park, and the library block

Wilder Park at 175 S. Prospect Avenue holds the Elmhurst Public Library (125 S. Prospect), the Elmhurst Art Museum on Cottage Hill Avenue, Wilder Mansion, and the conservatory. The blocks around them include older homes with original doors, and we often replace worn strike plates, cut backset to fit, and rekey after a sale. When callers cannot give us a house number, "behind the library" or "by the art museum" works.

Salt Creek Park and the west side

Salt Creek Park at 574 W. 2nd Street sits between West Avenue and Route 83. Trail users lock keys in cars there, and the nearby streets have ranches and split-levels with garage service doors. West Elmhurst is also where we connect to Route 83 for the run out to Villa Park and beyond.

Downtown, York Street, and the Metra station

The Metra station is at 128 W. 1st Street, and the Schiller Street parking deck is at 116 E. Schiller Street. The York Theatre and the shops on York Street bring evening foot traffic, so keys locked in cars downtown are frequent. We are only a few minutes away.

Parks and streets we use as landmarks

Berens Park, Eldridge Park, Pick Park, and Sleepy Hollow Park are all useful meeting points. Cross-streets we use daily include Prospect Avenue, Cottage Hill Avenue, Butterfield Road, North Avenue, and York Road. For anything east of town, Franklin Park is to the northeast and Berkeley and Hillside are to the east.

Car locksmith in Elmhurst

We are based in Elmhurst, so car calls here are our shortest runs. Most are under 15 minutes from 100 N Addison Ave Unit 2 in normal traffic, and we cover them 5 AM – 2 AM daily. Call (630) 349-7037, give us the year, make, and model, and we will say what the truck can finish.

Keys locked in the car

Downtown parking decks, Metra lots on 1st Street, Elmhurst University lots, and grocery lots off York and Butterfield are the usual places. We use non-destructive entry tools matched to the vehicle. If a child or pet is inside, tell us and call 911 as well.

Lost keys, spare keys, and fobs

For many makes we can cut and program a key or fob on site. If you have one working key left, making a spare now costs much less than an all-keys-lost call later. Some push-to-start and European models need dealer-level access, and we say that before we come out.

Ignition and door lock trouble

A worn key, a worn ignition cylinder, or a broken key in the lock are common with higher-mileage cars. We diagnose first and explain the fix before we touch anything.

More detail is on auto locksmith, and for urgent lockouts see emergency locksmith.

Most of our runs start in Elmhurst and head out to the towns next door. West of us, we handle a lot of home rekeys and car keys in south Villa Park, from Ardmore Avenue down toward Roosevelt Road. North up York Road and Route 83, Bensenville calls are often early-morning lockouts from people working shifts near O'Hare. Northwest, Addison car-key calls come from Lake Street, Army Trail, and Rohlwing Road.
