Locksmith St Marys is the closest 24/7 locksmith to Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay. We dispatch from the Colerain Rd side of St. Marys, about a mile from the base’s main gate area, so lockouts, rekeys and car keys for sailors, civilian staff and families around Kings Bay Rd get a short ETA at any hour. Call (912) 420-1769 and tell us your spot: the gate area, a neighborhood nearby, or on the installation itself.
Homes and rentals: move-in rekeys, lockouts, deadbolts, keypad and smart locks for the houses and apartments off Kings Bay Rd, Charlie Smith Sr Hwy and Colerain Rd. See the residential locksmith page.
Vehicles: car lockouts in the gate-area lots, lost keys, fob and transponder programming, ignition repair, plus RV and trailer latches for the rigs at nearby parks. See the automotive locksmith page.
Businesses: the shops and services along Kings Bay Rd and Kings Bay Village that serve base traffic: storefront lockouts, rekeys, panic hardware. See the commercial locksmith page.
Most Kings Bay work happens outside the fence: the apartments and rental homes along Kings Bay Rd, Charlie Smith Sr Hwy and Colerain Rd, the Kings Bay Village shopping center, and the neighborhoods that fill up with Navy families such as Osprey Cove, Sugarmill Plantation and Winding River. PCS season brings a steady run of move-in rekeys and smart lock installs, and every week someone locks keys in a car at the gate-area lots or a fast-food drive-through on Kings Bay Rd.
Work on the installation itself is a different story, and we’re upfront about it. Base security decides who drives through the gate, and on-base housing has its own maintenance path. If you’re locked out inside the fence, call us anyway: sometimes the fix is meeting you at the gate area or the visitor center, sometimes housing has to handle it, and we’ll tell you which within a minute so you’re not waiting on the wrong help.
Car keys are a big part of Kings Bay calls. Sailors on shift lose keys or lock them in the vehicle with the fob inside, and one-car families want a spare cut before deployment. We cut and program transponder and remote-head keys at the vehicle, GMC and Honda among the regulars, and we can add a spare while we’re already there.
Same crew covers the rest of the county, so if you’re posted at Kings Bay but living in Kingsland off Laurel Island Pkwy or out in Woodbine, one number still works.
Two practical notes for Kings Bay calls. Summer PCS season is our busiest stretch here, so if your move-in date is set, book the rekey ahead and we’ll hold the slot. And for any car key or car lockout we verify ownership before we cut or open, which means a driver’s license and registration or insurance card in the glove box; a base ID gets you through the gate, but it doesn’t prove you own the truck, and we treat every vehicle the same way.
Access is up to base security, not us, so we don’t promise it. Call and describe where you are; if we can’t come through the gate, we meet you at the gate area or visitor center, and if it’s on-base housing we’ll point you to the housing office fast so no time is lost.
Yes, and it’s the most common job we do around the base. Rekeying keeps the landlord’s hardware and cancels every key from previous tenants. Ask your landlord first; most allow it, and some pay for it.
It’s about a mile from where we dispatch, so it’s the shortest run we have. We still give you the real ETA on the phone based on where the truck is right then.
