// FIELD REPORTS
Called at 2am after locking my keys in the car outside Ybor. Tech showed up in under 25 minutes, had me in the car in 5. Super professional and the price was fair. Saved the night.
Moved into a new house and needed all the locks rekeyed ASAP. They sent someone same day, fast, clean work. Gave me a full quote on the phone — no bait and switch like the other guys.
Our office building had a commercial lock fail on a Friday afternoon. Super Locksmith sent a tech within 40 minutes, replaced the hardware, and we were back in business. Highly recommend.
// OPERATIONAL TERRITORY
Super Lock and Key has been Tampa Bay's go-to locksmith company for over 20 years. We're not a call center that dispatches random contractors — every technician on our team is a licensed, background-checked professional who trained with us directly. When you call, you get a real person. When a tech shows up, they show up in a marked vehicle with full ID. That's the Super Lock and Key standard.
Most locksmith scams start with a bait-and-switch: a low advertised price that balloons once the tech is at your door. We've never operated that way. Every job starts with an exact, upfront quote before any work begins. If the price changes for any reason, we tell you before we touch anything. That transparency is why we've built a 4.9-star reputation across hundreds of verified Google reviews.
Whether you just moved into a new home in South Tampa, need deadbolts upgraded in Brandon, or locked yourself out at midnight in Wesley Chapel — we respond fast. Our residential services cover everything from basic lock installation and rekeying to high-security Grade 1 deadbolt systems, smart lock programming (Schlage Encode, Kwikset Halo, Yale Assure), and complete master key systems for property managers and landlords across Hillsborough County.
Businesses in Tampa trust Super Lock and Key for access control installation, master key systems, panic bar hardware, ADA-compliant exit devices, and commercial-grade high-security locks. We work with office buildings, retail stores, warehouses, apartment complexes, and restaurants across the Tampa Bay area. Our commercial response time is the same as residential — because a business lockout costs money every minute the doors are closed.
Locked your keys in your car? Lost a transponder key? Need a new key fob programmed? We handle all of it on-site. Our mobile automotive locksmith units carry key cutting equipment and OBD programming tools that work with domestic and foreign vehicles — Toyota, Honda, Ford, GM, BMW, Mercedes, Hyundai, Kia, and more. Car dealerships charge two to three times what we charge for the same service, and they require towing. We come to you.
All technicians hold active Florida locksmith licenses under Chapter 493, F.S. Fully bonded and insured for residential and commercial work.
Our quote is our price. We provide written estimates before starting any job. No service call fees, no after-hours surcharges, no trip charges within Tampa Bay.
We maintain mobile units staged throughout Tampa Bay so our average response time is 30 minutes or less — faster during off-peak hours.
Every job is backed by our workmanship guarantee. If a lock we installed fails within 90 days due to installation error, we fix it free.
From Ybor City to Riverview, Westchase to New Tampa — if you're in Tampa Bay, we cover your area. No mileage fees within our service zone.

// INTELLIGENCE DATABASE
Locksmith costs in Tampa vary by service type. Here's what you can expect from Super Lock and Key:
All prices are quoted upfront before we start. We never charge surprise fees after the tech is at your door.
Yes — Super Lock and Key operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year throughout the Tampa Bay area. There are no extra charges for nights, weekends, or holidays. Our dispatch line is always answered by a live person, not a voicemail system. Whether it's 3am on Christmas or noon on a Tuesday, you'll get the same fast response and the same pricing.
Our average response time within the Tampa city limits is 20–30 minutes. For areas like Brandon, Riverview, Wesley Chapel, or Clearwater, response times are typically 30–45 minutes. We stage mobile units throughout Hillsborough and Pinellas counties to keep response times as short as possible. During peak traffic hours (I-4, I-275, Veterans Expressway), we route around congestion to arrive faster. We'll give you a realistic ETA when you call — and we stick to it.
Locksmith scams are unfortunately common in Tampa. Here's how to protect yourself — and why Super Lock and Key is the safe choice:
If a locksmith quotes you one price on the phone and a drastically higher price at the door, that is a scam. You have the right to refuse service and call someone else.
Rekeying is almost always the right choice for a new home purchase. When you move in, you don't know how many copies of the old keys are out there — previous owners, contractors, housekeepers, neighbors. Rekeying changes the internal pin configuration of your existing lock so all old keys stop working. New keys are cut to the new configuration. It's significantly cheaper than replacing the hardware (typically $25–$40 per lock vs. $75–$150 for full replacement) and provides the same security upgrade. If the existing hardware is worn, damaged, or a low-security Grade 3 lock, we'll recommend an upgrade — but we'll always tell you why, not just upsell you.
Yes. We can create a new car key from scratch using your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and proof of ownership. This works for the majority of vehicles on the road. Our mobile units carry both laser key cutting equipment and OBD-II transponder programming tools that work with most domestic and imported vehicles. For some newer vehicles with rolling code or proximity key systems (especially luxury brands like BMW, Mercedes, and Audi), we may need to order a specific key blank — but we can still program and cut it on-site in most cases. Bring your title, registration, or insurance card as proof of ownership.
Rekeying means adjusting the internal pin tumbler configuration inside your existing lock cylinder so it works with a new key. The lock body, hardware, and installation stay the same — only the key combination changes. Changing locks means removing the entire lock assembly and installing new hardware. Rekeying is faster, cheaper, and produces the same security result when the existing hardware is in good condition. Lock replacement makes sense when the hardware is damaged or worn, when you're upgrading to a higher security grade, or when you want to change the lock style or brand. We'll always assess which option is appropriate for your situation before recommending one.
Yes — smart lock installation and programming is one of our most popular residential services in Tampa. We install and configure all major smart lock brands:
We handle the full installation including door prep if needed, WiFi pairing, app setup, and user code programming. We also make sure the lock is properly aligned and the deadbolt throws smoothly — a common issue with DIY smart lock installs.
Super Lock and Key serves the entire Tampa Bay metropolitan area including Tampa, Brandon, Riverview, Valrico, Seffner, Plant City, South Tampa, Hyde Park, Ybor City, Channelside, Westchase, Carrollwood, New Tampa, Wesley Chapel, Land O' Lakes, Lutz, Temple Terrace, and parts of Pasco County. We also service Clearwater, St. Petersburg, Largo, Pinellas Park, and Dunedin in Pinellas County. If you're unsure whether you're in our service area, just call — we'll tell you immediately and give you an ETA.
Here are the practical steps we recommend to Tampa homeowners and drivers to avoid repeat lockouts:
If you've been locked out more than once in the past year, it may be worth having us install a combination of smart lock and traditional deadbolt so you always have two ways in.
