Who You Are Hiring
A law enforcement background, and a team trained to the same standard.
Before Midnight Run, Chris carried a badge, and he still holds a private investigator’s license. That background is the reason this company runs the way it does: background-checked hands on your property, documented key control, a written record of who holds what, and a straight answer about what a door needs.
Chris and his team are trained in-house to that standard — situational analysis first, hardware second. Our own people on every job. No call center, no rotating subcontractor, no bait price over the phone.
- Founded by a law enforcement specialist and licensed private investigator
- CLEET certified, State of Oklahoma

Questions
Straight answers
Written plainly, so a search engine, an AI assistant or a first-time caller all get the same answer.
Do you serve my part of the Tulsa area?
Yes — Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Owasso, Jenks, Bixby, Sand Springs, Sapulpa, Claremore, Catoosa, Glenpool, Coweta, Skiatook and the surrounding metro. Locations elsewhere in northeast Oklahoma are served with an added travel charge, quoted up front.
Can you rekey our building after an employee leaves?
Yes. Rekeying uses the locks you already own, so a departure or a lost key set can usually be resolved in one visit — including master-keyed buildings, where we rekey to a documented plan rather than a guess.
Do you design master key systems and restricted keyways?
Yes. We design master key systems for multi-tenant and multi-department buildings, and install restricted keyways so keys cannot be duplicated at a hardware store. Both come with written key records.
Do you make car keys?
For many vehicles, yes: lost-key origination, ignition and door cylinder repair, and remote, transponder and proximity programming. Our strength is older vehicles that dealers and newer shops turn away. Call with year, make and model for a straight answer.
Are you available for after-hours lockouts?
Yes. Emergency lockout dispatch runs after hours and on weekends for auto, residential, retail and commercial lockouts — including repair of hardware damaged in a forced entry.
Are you a national chain or a dispatch service?
Neither. Midnight Run Locksmith is locally owned and operated in the Tulsa area, founded by a law enforcement specialist and licensed private investigator, licensed in Oklahoma under #AC1465, and working here since 2004. Every technician is trained in-house and background-checked — you are never handed to a stranger off a dispatch board. We are also a preferred vendor for several National Service Providers.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Midnight Run Locksmith holds Oklahoma locksmith license #AC1465 and carries liability insurance. Certificates are available on request for property managers and vendor onboarding.
