Most residential lockouts in Jacksonville usually run $65 to $200 during standard hours and $150 to $300 after hours, weekends, or holidays. Full home rekeys (4-6 cylinders) run $150 to $300. Auto lockouts run $75 to $200. We post real ranges so you can compare against the bait-and-switch shops advertising $19 service calls.
For Jacksonville, the usual arrival window is 20 to 35 minutes. Outer-suburb dispatch is 25 to 45 minutes. We dispatch 24/7/365 - overnights, weekends, holidays. If we cannot meet that window for any reason, we tell you on dispatch, not after you have been waiting an hour.
Florida does not require a state-issued locksmith license, which makes choosing a verifiable, insured provider more important here than almost anywhere else. We carry general liability and bonding above industry minimums. The same crew shows up that you spoke to on dispatch - no third-party referrals, no out-of-state call centers. We can email a certificate of insurance before the truck rolls if your property management or HOA requires it.
Yes. Rekeying replaces the pins inside your existing lock cylinders so the old keys no longer turn - usually faster and cheaper than swapping every lock. A full home rekey (4 to 6 cylinders) runs $150 to $300 and takes about 30 to 45 minutes. We do this regularly after move-ins, lost keys, post-eviction, and tenant turnover.
Yes - Wi-Fi, Z-Wave, and Bluetooth deadbolts from Schlage, Yale, August, Kwikset, Level, and others. Installed price runs $150 to $400, hardware extra if not supplied. We also handle the door-prep work older doors usually need (non-standard bore sizes, deep strike-plate cutouts, mortise-pocket adaptation).
Most of the time, yes. We service residential and commercial safes including Group 2 mechanical-dial models. For lost combinations, manipulation is the first approach (no damage, no parts replacement). Drilling is a last resort and we tell you in advance if a particular safe will require it. Usual service runs $200 to $500.
Yes. We cut and program transponder keys and key fobs for most makes and models, including push-button-start vehicles. A standard transponder key cut and programmed usually runs $150 to $400. Some luxury smart keys (BMW, Mercedes, Audi) trend higher. Auto lockouts without key replacement run $75 to $200.
We handle post-break-in door repair - new deadbolt installs, strike plate reinforcement, and the wood-frame patching that usually goes with it. Pricing depends on hardware and the amount of frame damage. We can also board up a broken-out door panel temporarily if a full repair will take a few days to schedule.
Yes - storefronts, offices, clinics, warehouses, and multi-tenant buildings. Master-key system rebuilds, panic-bar service, high-security cylinder upgrades, and rotating-tenant rekeys are the most common commercial work we do. Commercial pricing runs $150 to $400 for typical jobs; high-security keyways (Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, Schlage Primus) trend higher.
Yes. Call or text and we will quote on the spot. For standard residential, commercial, and auto lockouts, the quoted range covers most jobs. For rekeys, deadbolt installs, smart-lock retrofits, and safe work, we ask a few questions to narrow the range before the truck rolls. If you decide not to dispatch, no charge.
