North Florida Locksmith — Available 24/7

For most of the Jacksonville metro — including Duval County, Orange Park, and Ponte Vedra Beach — we typically arrive within 15 to 30 minutes. For areas like St. Augustine, Fernandina Beach, and Yulee, realistic response times are closer to 30 to 45 minutes. Traffic, time of day, and your specific location all factor in. We'll give you an honest estimate when you call and let you know if conditions are going to affect it.

This is one of the most important questions you can ask. Locksmith scams are common in Florida — companies list fake local numbers that forward to out-of-state dispatch centers, quote a low price on the phone, then inflate the bill dramatically once they arrive. A legitimate local locksmith will give you a real business name, a verifiable Florida DBPR license number, and a clear quote before showing up. If a locksmith can't tell you their license number or quotes "starting at $15" for a lockout, hang up.

For a standard residential or automotive lockout, expect to pay somewhere in the $75–$150 range depending on the time of day, your location, and the type of lock or vehicle involved. Car key replacements that require programming typically run $150–$300 depending on the key type and vehicle. We're always happy to give you a specific quote over the phone before we dispatch — no pressure, no commitment required.

Rekeying means a locksmith adjusts the internal pin configuration of your existing lock cylinder so that your old keys no longer work. The hardware stays the same — only the key changes. It's faster and more affordable than replacing the lock entirely, and it's the right call in most situations where the lock itself is in good condition. A full lock change makes sense when the hardware is damaged, worn out, or when you want to upgrade to a higher security grade. We'll tell you honestly which one you need.

We can cut and program keys for the vast majority of passenger vehicles on the road today — domestic, import, and most luxury makes. This includes standard keys, transponder/chip keys, key fobs, remote head keys, and push-to-start proximity keys. Some high-end European vehicles with proprietary programming systems may require dealer involvement for part of the process, and we'll tell you upfront if that's the case for your vehicle.

We cover a wide stretch of Northeast Florida, including all of Duval County, St. Johns County (St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra Beach, Nocatee), Clay County (Orange Park, Fleming Island, Middleburg), and Nassau County (Fernandina Beach, Yulee, Amelia Island). If you're not sure whether we reach your specific location, just call and ask — we'll tell you straight.

Yes. We install and program smart locks from Schlage, Kwikset, Yale, August, and other manufacturers. We handle everything from a single smart deadbolt swap to full keypad entry setups for vacation rental properties and integration with home automation systems. We also walk you through the app setup and access code management before we leave the job.
