Straight answers.
How quickly can someone reach me?
It depends on where you are in metro Orlando and what is already on the schedule. We will give you a realistic window when you call and tell you honestly if another company would reach you sooner.
Can you open the door without damaging it?
Damage-no-obligation entry is the standard approach, and it is what our technicians are equipped and trained for. Drilling is a last resort discussed with you first, not a shortcut taken quietly.
Do you make car keys on site?
Yes. Keys are cut and programmed at your vehicle for most makes and models, including transponders, remotes and push-to-start proximity keys.
I am a landlord with turnover. What is the efficient approach?
Rekeying between tenants, ideally on a documented schedule. For multiple units, a properly designed master key system means you carry one key while each tenant only opens their own door.
Do you work on commercial storefronts?
Yes, including panic hardware, door closers, commercial deadbolts, master keying and access control for offices and multi-tenant properties.
What areas do you cover?
Metro Orlando and the surrounding communities, including Winter Park, Kissimmee, Altamonte Springs, Apopka, Oviedo, Sanford, Lake Nona, Dr. Phillips, Windermere and Winter Garden.

What Central Florida does to locks, keys and doors
Locks in metro Orlando wear differently than locks up north. There is no ice to jam a cylinder, but there is humidity nearly every day of the year, afternoon storms that drive rain sideways into door frames from June through September, and sun that bakes west-facing entry doors every evening. Those conditions show up in the calls we get. A deadbolt that turned easily in March starts to drag in August because the door has swelled against the strike. A keypad lock on a patio slider stops responding because moisture reached the battery contacts. A brass cylinder on a lanai door near a lake picks up corrosion inside the keyway and the key starts to catch halfway in.
Most of these problems give warning before they leave you stuck. If you notice that you have to lift or push the door to get the bolt to throw, or that the key needs a little wiggle before it turns, that is the time to have the lock looked at. Fixing alignment or cleaning and lubricating a cylinder is a small job. Waiting until the key snaps off inside the lock, or the bolt refuses to retract with the door closed, turns it into a lockout.
Heat, car keys and fob batteries
A parked car in an Orlando parking lot in summer gets hot enough inside to shorten the life of the small coin battery in a key fob. A weak fob battery usually shows up first as reduced range: you have to stand closer to the car for the doors to unlock. Many push-to-start vehicles will still start with a dead fob if you hold the fob against a specific spot on the steering column or console, which your owner's manual will show. Knowing that trick can save you a call. If the fob itself is cracked, has been through the washing machine, or was left in a pool bag, the electronics inside may be damaged beyond a battery swap, and that is when a replacement key cut and programmed at the car makes sense.
How to choose between rekeying, replacing and upgrading
People often call asking for new locks when rekeying would do the job for less. Rekeying changes the pins inside your existing cylinder so the old keys stop working and a new key operates it. The lock body, the finish and the handle all stay the same. It is the right choice when the hardware is in good condition and your only concern is who else has a key: a new home, a roommate who moved out, a lost key ring, a contractor who kept a copy.
Replacing the lock makes more sense when the hardware itself is the problem. A deadbolt with a worn latch, a knob set that has loosened on its spindle, a builder-grade lock that feels flimsy, or a finish that has pitted and flaked in the humidity are all reasons to put in new hardware. Replacement is also the time to match everything to one key so a single key opens the front door, the garage entry and the back slider.
Upgrading usually means moving to a heavier deadbolt, adding a reinforced strike plate with longer screws that reach the wall framing, or going to a keypad or smart lock. Keypad locks are popular around Orlando for good reason. Families who spend the day at the pool or the parks do not want to carry a house key, and owners of short-term rentals need a way to change access between guests without meeting anyone at the door. The tradeoff is batteries and electronics that need attention, so we usually recommend a model that still has a physical key override.
Gated communities, HOAs and condo buildings
A large share of metro Orlando lives behind a gate or inside a managed building. That affects how a locksmith call goes. If you live in a gated neighborhood, tell us when you call so you can leave our technician's name with the gatehouse or add a visitor code in the community app. If you are in a condo or apartment building, the main entry, the mail room and sometimes the unit door lock itself may belong to the association or the management company rather than to you. We can rekey or replace hardware you own. Common-area hardware and building master key systems need the association's approval, and some buildings require that unit door locks stay on the building master so maintenance and emergency crews can get in. It is worth checking your association rules before you change a unit lock.
Short-term rentals, vacation homes and student housing
The area around the theme parks, from the tourist corridor down into the vacation home communities south and west of the parks, has thousands of homes rented by the night or the week. Guests lose keys, forget keypad codes, and lock themselves out of the home or the rental car. Owners and property managers handle with a different problem: keys that walk away with departing guests. If you manage one of these homes, the practical setup is a keypad or smart lock on the main entry with codes you change between stays, a lockbox for a backup key, and rekeyed cylinders on any secondary doors each time a physical key goes missing.
Near UCF and the other campuses, rentals turn over on the school calendar, and many are shared by several unrelated tenants. When a roommate moves out mid-lease, the remaining tenants are often surprised that the landlord has not changed anything. If you rent, talk to your landlord before touching the lock, since most leases require their approval. If you own the property, rekeying between tenants is inexpensive insurance against a former occupant who kept a copy.
Hurricane season and your doors
Every year from June through November, Central Florida homeowners check shutters and generators. Doors and locks deserve a look too. A door that does not latch firmly into its strike can be pushed open by wind pressure, and a sliding door with a worn latch or missing anti-lift block is a weak point in a storm and a common entry point for break-ins the rest of the year. Before the season, check that every exterior door closes and latches without being pushed, that deadbolts throw their full length into the frame, and that sliders lock and cannot be lifted out of the track. After a storm, if a door has been forced, water-soaked or knocked out of alignment by debris, the lock may still turn but no longer hold. We can reset strikes, replace damaged hardware and rekey anything that was exposed while the house was open.
What to have ready when you call
With those details in hand, we can quote the job accurately on the phone and send a van stocked for exactly what you need, which is the fastest route to getting back inside.
- Your exact location, including the building or unit number, the gate or parking garage level, or the nearest cross street if you are on the road.
- For a vehicle, the year, make and model, and whether it uses a traditional key, a flip key or a push-to-start fob. The VIN from the windshield or registration helps with key cutting.
- For a home or business, what type of lock it is if you know it, and whether you want the door opened only or the lock rekeyed or replaced at the same visit.
- Your ID and a document tying you to the property or vehicle, as described in our ownership policy on this page.
- Gate codes or building access instructions so the technician is not stuck outside the community.
Let's get you back in.
One call, an upfront price, and a stocked van on the way across metro Orlando.
Proof of ownership.
Before we open anything or change any lock, we have to establish that the property or vehicle is yours. This is not paperwork for its own sake. It is the reason nobody can call us and have your locks changed either.
Photo ID, matching the property or vehicle
Government-issued ID plus a document tying you to the address or the VIN, deed, title, registration, lease, utility bill or similar.
You must be there in person
We cannot open a property or change locks for someone who is out of state, out of the country, or sending a friend, a relative or a contractor on their behalf. No exceptions, however reasonable the request sounds.
Tenanted property, we cannot let you in
If the property is rented and the tenant is in possession, an owner cannot have us open it or change the locks. That is a matter for the courts, not a locksmith.
Evictions, the Sheriff must be on site
We carry out lock changes on an eviction only with the Sheriff physically present and the court paperwork in hand. We do not attend evictions on a landlord's word alone.
The same rule applies to vehicles
Car lockouts and key work require ID and proof the vehicle is yours, title, registration or equivalent. A key in your hand is not proof.
Commercial premises
Business lockouts require proof of ownership or documented authority to act for the business.
We may ask for documents before we dispatch
If anything about a request does not sit right, we will ask you to send ID and proof of ownership over the phone, before a technician leaves. If you are not willing to provide it up front, we will not attend. That is not suspicion of you personally, it is the same check that keeps anyone from doing this to your property.
If you cannot produce it, we will not open itand we will still charge for the call-out, because our technician still traveled. Bring the documents and it is a two-minute conversation.
Locksmith Near Me in Orlando
Getting locked out never happens at a convenient time, and in Orlando it is often a long way from home, a rental car at the resort, keys gone at the parks, a door that will not open at the end of a long day.

That number is agreed with you first, and it is the same number at the end.
