Locally owned
Doug McGrail was born and raised in Billings and bought Independent Lock in 2009. His son Quincy joined full time after graduating from MSU-Billings in 2015. Doug specializes in safe work; Quincy leads access control. Between them they cover every lock, door, and safe in Yellowstone County.
Needing a locksmith usually comes with stress. That is why we show up fast, explain the options plainly, charge fair rates, and guarantee the work. That is what neighbors do.

★★★★★I needed to have a lock changed at a property I have listed. I called and they answered right away. They were responsive, available, speedy and very professional. I was very impressed. I have and will continue to refer them to my clients.

★★★★★I can't recommend Independent Lock strongly enough! They have helped me rekey new businesses, installed key pads, got me back into my house (on more than one occasion!), and cut keys on the spot. This locally owned business is one I always trust!

★★★★★They are awesome! We couldn't get our key out of the door and they came and fixed it for us within a half hour. They also helped us fix another lock that was a security issue. I give them 10/10!
