About C&R Locksmith
One licensed locksmith, one number, and the same person from the quote to the finished job. Eran Bar-Yamin has run C&R out of Edmond since 2018, serving homes and businesses across the Oklahoma City metro.
Who runs this
A Locksmith You Can Actually Check
There is one name attached to this business, and it is on every job.
When you call C&R you are not reaching a call center that sells your job to whoever is nearest. You are reaching Eran, and Eran is who turns up.
He has worked hands on in the trade for about a decade and has run C&R Locksmith since 2018. The business is family owned, based in Edmond, and works across the Oklahoma City metro as a mobile service, which means there is no shop to visit because the van comes to the property.
That structure decides most of what is on this website. There is no dispatcher, so the person quoting the job is the person doing it. There is no fleet overhead to cover, which is why the pricing sits where it does. And there is nobody to hide behind if a job goes wrong, which is a stronger guarantee than any badge on a homepage.
Local, affordable, and building a relationship with the customer. That is the whole business. I would rather be the locksmith someone calls back in three years than the one who made an extra fifty dollars once.

The honest version
What Owner Operated Costs You, and What It Buys
Most websites list only one side of this. Both are worth knowing before you call.
What You Get
One person who knows your building, your keys and your history. The estimate given on the phone holds because the person giving it is the person doing the work. Nothing is subcontracted and nobody arrives quoting a different number than the one you agreed.
What You Give Up
One van means a real schedule rather than an optimistic one. A large portfolio cannot be turned over in a single afternoon, and there are days that are simply full. You will be told that honestly instead of being booked into a slot that was never going to happen.
Hours, Stated Plainly
Seven days a week, 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM. Outside those hours the answering service takes the call and we ring back, and the answer is sometimes tonight and sometimes first thing tomorrow. This site does not claim 24/7 because that would not be true.

Credentials and Facts
Nothing on this page requires you to take our word for it.
Oklahoma license A465149
Oklahoma requires locksmiths to be licensed through the Department of Labor, and C&R holds a locksmith manager license under that framework. Ask any locksmith for a number before they are dispatched. See how licensing works here.
Trading since 2018
Family owned and operating continuously in the Oklahoma City metro since 2018, with roughly a decade of hands on experience behind it.
Mobile, based in Edmond
A service area business with no walk in shop. The van comes to the property, which is also why you will not find a street address on this site.
Free estimates, always
No charge for asking and no charge for a walkthrough. The figure quoted on the phone is the figure on the invoice.
Hardware we work with
Schlage, Yale, Kwikset, Von Duprin, Sargent, Corbin Russwin, Adams Rite, Dormakaba, Detex, Marks USA, PDQ and LCN, across residential and commercial work.
Cash, check or card
All three accepted. Website requests sent during business hours get a reply the same hour rather than the next day.
How we work
Four Things We Will Not Do
A list of what a business refuses tells you more than a list of what it offers.
Move the Price
The number quoted before dispatch is the number on the invoice. A price that climbs once the work has started is the oldest complaint about this trade and it is entirely avoidable.
Sell the Bigger Job
If rekeying solves it, that is what gets quoted, even though replacing the hardware would be worth more. Most people who call have been told they need new locks and most of them do not.
Open Without Checking
Proof of ownership or residency before any door or vehicle is opened, every time. A locksmith who skips this once will skip it for whoever asks about your property next.
Claim What Is Not True
No 24/7 when the hours are 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM. No invented review counts or project totals. No promise to work on every vehicle ever built. Checkable claims only.
Where we work
Serving the OKC Metro From Edmond
A trip fee may apply past a set distance, and you are told the number before we roll rather than after.
Want to talk to the owner?
That is the only person answering, so calling is the whole process.
About the business
Questions People Ask Before Booking
Who will actually turn up at my property?
Eran. C&R is owner operated, so the person who answers the phone, gives the quote and does the work is the same person. Nothing is subcontracted, and nobody arrives with a different number than the one you were given.
What license does C&R Locksmith hold?
Yes. Oklahoma requires locksmiths to be licensed through the Department of Labor under the Alarm, Locksmith and Fire Sprinkler Industry Act, and every locksmith company must employ a licensed locksmith manager. C&R holds license A465149. Any locksmith who cannot give you a number is a reason to end the call.
Why is there no address on the website?
Because C&R is a mobile service business with no walk in shop, working out of Edmond and travelling to the property. There is nowhere for a customer to visit, so publishing an address would only be misleading.
How long has the business been running?
Since 2018, continuously, family owned, with roughly a decade of hands on trade experience behind it. Longevity is one of the few things about a locksmith you can verify independently, which is exactly why it is worth stating plainly.
Do you work with businesses as well as homes?
Yes, and commercial work is a large share of it. Rekeying, master key systems, exit devices, access control and property management accounts. See commercial locksmith services.
How quickly do you respond?
Requests sent through the website during business hours get a reply the same hour, usually within about fifteen minutes. Hours are 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM seven days a week, and most metro jobs are handled the same day. Outside those hours, response is limited and you will be told honestly what is realistic.
