// Common Emergencies
Locked out of your house, apartment, or rental. Keys inside, broken lock, or door won't open — we handle it without damaging your door or hardware.
Keys locked inside your vehicle — parking lot, roadside, or driveway. No broken windows, no scratched paint. We get you back in clean every time.
Locked out before the workday starts, or can't get into a back office or warehouse. We prioritize commercial calls — every minute is lost revenue.
Lost your only set — house and/or car keys. We originate new keys from scratch and rekey your locks so any copies floating around are instantly useless.
Lock snapped off, key broken inside the cylinder, or door simply won't lock. We extract, repair, or replace on-site — no scheduling a return trip.
Your home or business was broken into and the lock is damaged. We respond as an emergency, replace compromised hardware, and make sure you're secured before we leave.
A lot of Tampa locksmiths advertise 24-hour service. What they mean is they have an answering service that takes your information and promises someone will call you back — eventually. At Super Lock and Key, 24-hour service means a live dispatcher answers your call right now, gives you an upfront price right now, and dispatches a technician right now. Our average response time from call to arrival is 20–30 minutes within Tampa city limits. There are no callbacks, no voicemails, no automated menus.
The single biggest complaint about emergency locksmiths in Tampa is bait-and-switch pricing — a low quote on the phone that doubles or triples at the door, with "after-hours" or "emergency" surcharges added on the spot. We don't operate that way. The price we quote you on the phone at 3am is the same price you pay. We have no after-hours surcharge, no holiday surcharge, no emergency dispatch fee, and no fuel surcharge. What we quote is what we charge, and we quote before we dispatch.
Tampa is unfortunately full of locksmith scams. Here's what to watch for when calling a locksmith at any hour:
Our address is 1902 W Main Street Suite #202, Tampa, FL 33607. Our techs arrive in marked vehicles with company ID. Our license number is on file with the state of Florida. If anything feels off when a locksmith shows up, you have the right to refuse service and call someone else.
We maintain mobile units staged across Tampa Bay so we can reach any part of Hillsborough County — Tampa, Brandon, Riverview, Valrico, Wesley Chapel, Land O' Lakes, Lutz, Plant City, and all surrounding communities — within 30–45 minutes. We also regularly service Pinellas County including Clearwater, St. Petersburg, Largo, Palm Harbor, and Dunedin. If you're not sure whether you're in our service area, call and ask — we'll tell you honestly and give you an ETA.
You call (813) 285-4886. A live person answers — not a machine, not an answering service. They ask for your location and what you need. They give you an upfront price. You say yes. They dispatch the nearest available technician and give you an ETA. The tech calls when they're close. They arrive, verify your identity with an ID check, and complete the work. You inspect and approve. You pay. You're done. That's the whole process, whether it's 3am or 3pm.
// Common Questions
Correct — no after-hours surcharge, no holiday fee, no emergency dispatch fee. The price we quote on the phone at 3am on Christmas is exactly what you pay. This is our policy and has been since we opened in 2005. The price you're quoted before we dispatch is the price you pay, period.
Our average response time within Tampa city limits is 20–30 minutes any time of day or night. We keep mobile units staged throughout Hillsborough and Pinellas counties specifically to minimize after-hours response times. Brandon and Riverview typically run 30–40 minutes, and outlying areas like Wesley Chapel or Clearwater 35–50 minutes. We'll give you a firm ETA when you call.
We answer the phone directly — a real Super Lock and Key dispatcher, not a third-party call center. You'll get an upfront price, a confirmed ETA, and a direct line to the tech heading your way. No callback promises, no "someone will reach out shortly."
For a home lockout: a valid photo ID showing your name, plus proof of residence (driver's license with the address, a piece of mail, or your lease). For a car lockout: photo ID and your vehicle registration, title, or insurance card showing your name and the vehicle VIN. We require ID on every lockout service call — this protects both you and us.
Our technicians arrive in marked Super Lock and Key vehicles and carry company-issued ID with their Florida locksmith license number. You can verify any Florida locksmith license at the Florida Department of Agriculture's licensing portal (fdacs.gov). Our company license number is on file with the state. If a locksmith shows up in an unmarked vehicle without ID, that's a red flag — you can refuse service.
Yes — for both homes and vehicles. For a home, we can originate keys from your lock cylinders directly. For a car, we originate from your VIN and proof of ownership. We also recommend rekeying your locks after a key loss so any copies that were floating around become useless. We carry key cutting equipment on every service vehicle and can complete both services in a single visit.
