Burien is not a service area for us. It is where we are. Our storefront sits on Ambaum Blvd SW and most Burien calls see a technician in about fifteen minutes. Licensed, insured, dispatched 24/7.
We have worked in Burien since 2007 out of a real storefront at 15835 Ambaum Blvd SW, one you can walk into during business hours. That proximity is the whole advantage. Most Burien addresses see a technician in about fifteen minutes, and when a job needs a part that is not on the van, the shop is minutes away instead of a rescheduled visit.
We are not a call-farm. Seatown Locksmith is locally owned and our Washington locksmith license is SEATOLI903CK. Look it up before you let anyone near your hardware, including us. Burien is small enough that we would rather be the locksmith you call twice than the one you call once.
Business owner nearby? Our commercial team works the Tukwila industrial and retail corridor daily — see commercial locksmith services in Tukwila.
Just south of Burien? Normandy Park sits minutes from our Ambaum Blvd shop and we cover it on the same call rotation — see our locksmith services in Normandy Park.
Being the local shop changes the mix of work. Alongside the ordinary lockouts and rekeys, Burien sends us two kinds of job we do not see nearly as often anywhere else.
The first is auto body work. Burien has a real cluster of body shops, and a car that comes in after a break-in or a collision often needs its door locks and ignition cylinder replaced. The shops call us to key that new hardware to the customer's existing key, so the vehicle leaves with one key that works everything, exactly as it did before. It is precise work and it is the difference between a repair that feels finished and one that leaves the owner juggling two keys forever.
The second is city work. We supply and service the padlocks that secure Parks and Recreation facilities around Burien — gates, storage, equipment buildings, the things that get hit when nobody is watching. That means keyed-alike systems that grounds staff can actually carry, and hardware that survives a Pacific Northwest winter outdoors. Master padlocks handle most of it.
Then there is everything else a hometown locksmith does. Rekeys after a purchase or a tenant change, keypads on front doors, safes, and the 2am lockout on a rainy night.
A body shop calls with a car in the bay. The door locks and ignition cylinder are being replaced, and the owner is getting the vehicle back tomorrow. New lock hardware comes keyed to its own key, which means the customer would leave with one key for the doors, another for the ignition, and the original for nothing at all.
So we key the new cylinders to the key the owner already carries. They pick the car up and nothing about their keyring changed. No explanation needed, no adjustment, no second key living in a drawer. That is the job done properly, and it is why the shops keep our number rather than sending customers to a dealership.
We cover all of Burien — Olde Burien, Boulevard Park, Gregory Heights, Seahurst, Three Tree Point, Lake Burien, Salmon Creek, Manhattan, and the length of Ambaum and Des Moines Memorial Drive.
Typical arrival is about fifteen minutes, which is what happens when the shop is in the same town. On pricing, most Burien lockouts land in the $75 to $150 range, home rekeys $100 to $200, and transponder key programming $80 to $250 depending on the vehicle. Commercial, safe, and fleet work we quote by phone or email once we know the scope.

Seatown Locksmith is a Burien business. Our shop is based in the city, which means Burien residents get the shortest response times of any location we serve. When you call us from Downtown Burien, Seahurst, or Gregory Heights, we're often there in 10–20 minutes — not the 45–60 minutes you'd wait for a locksmith driving in from Seattle or Renton.
Burien's neighborhoods each have their own character. Seahurst and Three Tree Point are waterfront communities where a lockout can leave you stranded far from transit or other services. We prioritize those calls. Downtown Burien has a busy commercial strip along 1st Ave SW where parking lot lockouts happen daily, and we handle them quickly so you're not blocking a spot or missing an appointment. The White Center border area is one of the most active zones we cover — high call volume, consistent service.
Beyond lockouts, Burien homeowners frequently call us for rekeying after a rental turnover, installing deadbolts on older homes, and car key programming. As a local business, we're invested in keeping our neighbors safe. We offer the same professional-grade equipment and guarantees here as we do everywhere else — but with the added advantage of genuinely short drive times.

Yes, regularly. When a shop replaces door locks or an ignition cylinder, we key the new hardware to the customer’s existing key so the vehicle goes back with one key that works everything. We also cut and program replacement keys for vehicles in the bay.

Yes, and this is one of our most common Burien jobs. Landlords and property managers call us regularly after a tenant turnover to rekey all exterior locks to a fresh key. It takes 30–60 minutes depending on how many locks, and it's significantly cheaper than replacing the hardware. We serve both individual homeowners and multi-unit properties throughout Burien. Call for a quote — we can often come the same day.
