Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to the most common questions about our Tampa locksmith services, pricing, and process.
How fast can a locksmith get to me in Tampa?
Our average response time in Tampa and surrounding areas is 15-30 minutes. We have multiple technicians stationed throughout Tampa Bay, so there’s usually someone nearby no matter where you are. During peak times or severe weather, response times may be slightly longer, but we’ll always give you an accurate ETA when you call.
Are you available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week?
Yes! We’re a true 24/7 locksmith service. That means we’re available at 3 AM on a holiday just as readily as 2 PM on a Tuesday. Emergency lockouts don’t happen on a schedule, and neither do we. Our dispatchers answer calls around the clock, 365 days a year, including all holidays.
Do I need to prove ownership to get locksmith service?
Yes, for your protection and ours, we require proof that you have the right to access the property or vehicle. For homes, this could be a lease, utility bill, or ID matching the address. For vehicles, we need registration, title, or ID matching the registration. This policy protects everyone and is standard practice for licensed locksmiths.
Will you damage my lock or door getting me in?
In the vast majority of cases, no. Our trained locksmiths use professional techniques and tools designed to open locks without damage. Destructive entry is always a last resort and would only be used with your explicit approval (and at no extra charge if we can’t open it non-destructively). Most lockouts are resolved with zero damage to your lock, door, or vehicle.
What types of payment do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover), debit cards, cash, Venmo, PayPal, Zelle, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. Our technicians carry mobile card readers, so you can pay securely on-site. We also offer financing options for larger security installations.
Should I rekey or replace my locks after buying a home?
We strongly recommend at minimum rekeying all exterior locks when you move into a new home. You never know how many copies of keys the previous owners made or who might have them. Rekeying is more affordable than full replacement and makes all existing keys useless. If your locks are old or worn, replacement with modern high-security locks is worth considering for better protection.
Can you make car keys for any vehicle?
We can make keys for most vehicles on the road today, including cars, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, and RVs. This includes standard keys, transponder/chip keys, and key fobs for most domestic and foreign makes. Some ultra-high-security vehicles (certain Mercedes, BMW, newer Audis) may require dealer programming after we cut the key. We’ll let you know upfront if there are any limitations.
Do you offer any warranties on your work?
Absolutely. We provide a 90-day warranty on all labor and a manufacturer’s warranty on all hardware we install (typically 1 year for most locks). If something we installed fails or if you have any issues with our workmanship, we’ll come back and make it right at no additional cost. Your satisfaction is guaranteed.
What’s the difference between rekeying and changing locks?
Rekeying changes the internal pins of your existing lock so old keys no longer work, while the lock hardware stays the same. It’s faster and more affordable. Changing locks means completely replacing the lock with new hardware. Choose rekeying if your locks are in good condition and you just want new keys. Choose replacement if locks are worn, damaged, outdated, or you want to upgrade security.
Are your locksmiths licensed and insured in Florida?
Yes, we are fully licensed to operate as locksmiths in the state of Florida. We carry $1 million in general liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage. All our technicians undergo thorough background checks before joining our team. We’re happy to provide proof of licensing and insurance upon request.
