Who We Are


At Patriot Locksmith, we believe in delivering expert locksmith services with honesty, reliability, and a personal touch.

Our Story


Founded by Shawn Fotch, a seasoned locksmith with over 25 years of experience, our company is built on a commitment to quality, trust, and customer satisfaction.


Unlike larger companies that send different technicians for every job, every service call is personally handled by Shawn—ensuring expert craftsmanship and consistent service every time. If we’re unable to reach you when needed, we’re happy to recommend other trusted locksmiths in the area.

Our family-run business is owned and operated by Shawn and Tara Fotch, a husband-and-wife team dedicated to serving Wake, Harnett, Johnston, and Durham counties. We specialize in automotive, residential, commercial, and motorcycle locksmith services, from key replacements and lock repairs to rekeying and installations.


Patriot Locksmith is fully licensed, bonded, and insured, with Shawn holding a North Carolina Locksmith License (#0446). Our 5-star Google rating reflects our commitment to outstanding service and customer satisfaction.


At the end of the day, we want you to know that you’re in good hands. Whether you’re locked out, need a key replacement, or require a security upgrade, Patriot Locksmith is the name you can trust.

I locked myself out of my house late at night, and Locksmith came to the rescue in no time! The technician arrived within 20 minutes, was super professional, and got me back inside in just a few minutes. Their rates were transparent, and there were no hidden fees. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of fast and reliable service!

Had a fantastic experience with Locksmith! I needed to change the locks after moving into a new home, and they were incredibly helpful. The locksmith explained the whole process, recommended the best locks for my needs, and installed everything quickly. Great service, friendly staff, and affordable prices!

My business needed a complete security upgrade, and Locksmith exceeded our expectations. They installed a master key system and access control, making our office much more secure. Their team was professional, punctual, and the whole process was seamless. We'll definitely use their services again in the future!
