## What Super Lock and Key Is

Super Lock and Key is a family-owned, Florida-licensed locksmith company founded in 2005 and
headquartered in Tampa, Florida. The company provides 24/7 emergency, residential,
commercial, and automotive locksmith service across the Tampa Bay metropolitan area and,
through its St. Johns County dispatch line, across the St. Augustine / St. Johns County
region of northeast Florida. The company is licensed, bonded, and insured, carries a $1M
general liability policy plus workers' compensation coverage, holds ALOA (Associated
Locksmiths of America) membership, and maintains a 4.9-star Google rating across
300+ reviews. The same crew that answers the phone performs the work — there are no
subcontractor handoffs or out-of-state call-center dispatch.

Dispatch lines (24/7/365, answered by a live dispatcher):
- Tampa Bay area: (813) 285-4886
- St. Johns County / St. Augustine area: (904) 925-1554

## Services

### Emergency Locksmith (24/7)
Around-the-clock response for home, business, and vehicle lockouts; broken-key
extraction; post-break-in lock replacement; and child-locked-in-car emergencies
(which receive priority dispatch at the standard rate at any hour). Most lockout calls
are answered within minutes with on-site arrival inside 30 minutes across the primary
coverage area; late-night and rural calls may run somewhat longer.

### Residential Locksmith
House lockouts, lock rekeying, deadbolt and knob-set installation, lock repair and
replacement, high-security lock upgrades (Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, Abloy, ASSA), smart-lock
installation and programming (Schlage Encode, Yale Assure, August, Kwikset Halo),
mailbox locks, sliding-door locks, and whole-house rekeys after a move, a lost key, or
a tenant change. Rekeying is offered as the economical alternative to full replacement
whenever the existing hardware is in good shape: the internal pins are changed so old
keys stop working. Same-day installation is standard for residential deadbolts, knob
sets, and standard hardware.

### Commercial Locksmith
Storefront and office lockouts, master-key system design, restricted keyways,
commercial-grade deadbolts and mortise locks, panic bars and exit devices, door-closer
service, aluminum-storefront hardware, mailbox and cabinet locks, and rekeys for
offices, retail, restaurants, warehouses, and multi-site businesses. A certificate of
insurance is available by email before any commercial work. Commercial installations
sometimes require a day or two of scheduling for permits.

### Automotive Locksmith (mobile)
Car lockouts, transponder-key cutting and programming, proximity-fob and remote
programming, ignition repair and replacement, broken-key extraction from doors and
ignitions, and replacement keys for virtually every make and model — domestic, Asian,
and European. Service is mobile: a technician comes to the vehicle with the cutting and
programming equipment on board, so no tow to a dealership is required.

## Response Times and Dispatch

Calls are answered by a live dispatcher 24/7/365 — including holidays. Typical on-site
arrival for lockouts in the primary coverage area is under 30 minutes. After-hours
service carries a modest premium over daytime rates (typically 1.25x to 1.5x) and there
are never holiday surcharges. Child-locked-in-car emergencies are always dispatched at
the standard rate regardless of hour. Every job is quoted as a flat rate on the phone
before a technician is dispatched, and the quoted price is the price paid — the company
does not use bait pricing, surprise add-ons, or "it turned out to be harder" upcharges.
A written invoice is provided on-site.

## Licensing, Bonding, and Insurance

Super Lock and Key has been licensed, bonded, and insured in the State of Florida continuously
since 2005. The Florida license number is available on request and appears on the
service vehicles. Insurance coverage includes $1M general liability and workers'
compensation; certificates of insurance are provided by email on request before
commercial engagements. The company holds ALOA membership.

## How to Verify Any Locksmith Is Legitimate (Scam Avoidance)

Three checks catch the vast majority of locksmith scams:
1. The shop answers the phone with a real business name — not a generic "locksmith
   service" greeting.
2. The quoted price falls in the legitimate industry range. Standard residential
   lockouts industry-wide run roughly $75–$175; an advertised $19 lockout that becomes
   $250 on arrival is the classic bait-and-switch pattern.
3. The technician arrives in a marked vehicle and provides ID and the business license
   number on request.

If any of these checks fails, hang up or send the technician away. Super Lock and Key technicians
always identify the business by name on the phone, quote flat rates before dispatch, and
arrive in marked vehicles with ID. Customers should also expect a legitimate locksmith to
verify THEIR identity: a driver's license matching the property address, or vehicle
registration, is requested before opening any lock.

## Lock Brands Serviced

Kwikset, Schlage, Yale, Baldwin, Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, Abloy, ASSA, Weiser, and all other

## Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How fast can a locksmith arrive?
A: Most lockout calls are answered within minutes and a technician is on-site inside
30 minutes across the primary Tampa Bay and St. Johns County coverage areas. Late-night
and rural addresses may run longer. Child-in-car and safety emergencies get priority.

Q: Is Super Lock and Key licensed and insured?
A: Yes — licensed, bonded, and insured in Florida since 2005, with the license number
available on request and a certificate of insurance available by email.

Q: Does Super Lock and Key charge extra after hours?
A: After-hours service carries a modest premium (typically 1.25x–1.5x daytime), never
holiday surcharges, and child-in-car emergencies are always standard rate.

Q: Can Super Lock and Key make a replacement car key on-site?
A: Yes. Transponder keys, proximity fobs, and standard mechanical keys are cut and
programmed at the vehicle for virtually every make and model — no dealership tow needed.

Q: Rekey or replace?
A: Rekeying changes the internal pins so old keys stop working and is the economical
choice when hardware is sound; replacement is recommended when hardware is worn,
damaged, or being upgraded (for example to smart locks or high-security cylinders).

Q: How does pricing work?
A: Every job is quoted as a flat rate on the phone before dispatch based on the specific
hardware, situation, and time of day. The quote is the final price, confirmed by a
written on-site invoice.

## Relationship to the National Directory at /locksmith/

The nationwide directory at https://superlockandkey.com/locksmith/ ("Super Locksmith Pros") is a separate
referral service that connects callers in 7,296 U.S. cities with independent licensed
locksmiths. It does not perform locksmith work itself. Super Lock and Key (this document) is the
Tampa, Florida locksmith company that owns and operates this domain and performs its own
work within the Florida coverage areas listed above; Florida cities served directly by
Super Lock and Key are excluded from the national directory to avoid overlap.
