Locksmith questions, answered

Straight answers to the things people ask us most. Still curious about something? Just call — we love talking locks.

Stay calm and call us at (954) 534-1003 — that's exactly what we're here for. Tell us where you are and what you're locked out of (home, car, or office), and we'll give you an upfront price before we head out. Please don't try to force or pick the lock yourself — it almost always makes things worse, and more expensive to fix.

It depends on the job — a straightforward home lockout is very different from installing smart locks throughout a house. That's why we always quote you a clear, upfront price on the phone before we come out. If the price isn't right for you, there's no obligation and no pressure.

Sunday through Thursday, absolutely — we're open around the clock. On Fridays we're available from midnight until sundown, and we observe Shabbat, so we're closed from Friday sundown through Saturday nightfall. Call us right after nightfall on Saturday and we'll be back on the road.

Almost always, yes. We open locks with professional picking and bypass tools designed to leave your lock and door untouched. Drilling is strictly a last resort — for example, a broken or high-security lock that won't pick — and we only do it with your permission first.

Yes — that's one of our most common calls. We can cut and program a new key or key fob for most makes and models, right where your car is parked. Having your vehicle identification number (VIN) and a photo ID handy helps the process go smoothly.

If your locks are in good shape and you just want old keys to stop working — after a move, a roommate change, or lost keys — rekeying is the smart, affordable choice. Replace the hardware if locks are worn out, damaged, or you'd like an upgrade to something sturdier or smarter. Not sure? Describe what you have on the phone and we'll give you an honest recommendation.

Congratulations on the new place! The first thing we'd suggest is rekeying — you never know how many copies of the old keys are floating around with previous owners, tenants, or contractors. It's quick, affordable, and means only your keys open your doors. It's also a great moment to add deadbolts or a smart lock if the home doesn't have them.

Yes! We install keypad and smart locks and walk you through setting up codes and phone controls. They're a great fit for families juggling keys, rental properties, or anyone who'd rather not carry a keyring. Call us to talk through which setup makes sense for your door.

We're based in Fort Lauderdale and serve all of Broward County — Oakland Park, Wilton Manors, Pompano Beach, Hollywood, Plantation, Davie, Coral Springs, Sunrise, and everywhere in between. See the full list of 16 cities. If you're just outside the county, call anyway — we'll tell you honestly if we can get to you.

Yes — and it's for your protection as much as ours. For a home or business lockout, we'll ask for a photo ID, or another way to confirm you're supposed to be there (like a neighbor, landlord, or lease paperwork). For cars, your registration or ID usually does the trick.

We accept major credit and debit cards. Just confirm your preferred payment method on the call so everything's settled before we head out — no surprises at the door.

We're an observant Jewish business, so we close for Shabbat — from Friday at sundown through Saturday at nightfall each week — as a day of rest. The rest of the week we're here for you: open 24 hours Sunday through Thursday, and Friday from midnight until sundown. If it's urgent, call right after nightfall on Saturday and we'll be back.
