// OPERATIONAL TERRITORY
Super Lock and Key has been Sarasota County'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 Longboat Key, need deadbolts upgraded, or locked yourself out at midnight — 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 Sarasota County.
Businesses in Longboat Key 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 Tampa Bay. 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 Longbeach Village to Buttonwood Harbour — if you're in Sarasota County, we cover your area. No mileage fees within our service zone.
// STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE
Call (941) 666-7447 any time — day or night. A live dispatcher answers immediately and takes your location and job details. No automated menus, no hold music.
We quote you the exact price over the phone before dispatching. No surprises at the door. You approve the price first — then and only then do we send a tech.
A licensed, uniformed technician arrives in a marked Super Lock and Key vehicle — typically within 30 minutes in the Longboat Key area. They carry full ID and credentials.
We complete the work efficiently and cleanly. You inspect and approve before paying. We accept cash, all major credit cards, and Zelle. No job is closed until you're satisfied.
// MOBILE & AUTOMOTIVE
Super Lock and Key runs a mobile auto locksmith service across Longboat Key and the entire Tampa Bay area. We come to your vehicle — parking lot, driveway, roadside, shopping plaza — with the diagnostic equipment in the truck to cut and program keys on-site. No tow to the dealer, no three-day wait.
We work on every major make and model: Ford, Chevy, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, Jeep, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Volkswagen, Mazda, Subaru, Lexus, Acura, Infiniti, Dodge, Ram, Chrysler, MINI, Volvo — virtually every common American, Japanese, Korean, and European vehicle on the road in Longboat Key.
Pricing typically runs 30–60% below the dealer for the same cut-and-program work. Call (941) 666-7447 with your make, model, year, and key type — we’ll quote flat-rate before we roll.
// WHAT WE HANDLE
Non-destructive entry on every modern vehicle. Long-reach tools, air wedges, manufacturer-specific bypass kits. Slim-jim is pre-2000 tech — we don’t use it.
Cut the physical blade, program the chip to your vehicle’s immobilizer, verify the engine starts. Typical turnaround 20–40 minutes on most makes.
Push-button-start vehicles. We cut the backup blade and program the proximity signal with the right diagnostic tool. Premium pricing reflects the equipment cost, but still well under dealer.
Ignition cylinder won’t turn, key stuck, or the entire assembly worn out. We repair when possible; replace when necessary, keyed to match your doors.
Worn keys snap in door locks and ignitions. We extract on-site without damaging the cylinder in most cases, then rekey or replace depending on wear.
Make a spare while you still have a working key — dramatically cheaper than losing the only one. Scheduled visits in Longboat Key for under a flat rate on most vehicles.
// WHAT WE PROMISE
Driveway, parking lot, roadside — we come to where the car is in your area. No tow needed.
Cut and program to factory specs for transponder, remote-head, proximity, and laser-cut keys.
OBD-II diagnostic equipment in every truck. Most jobs done in 30–60 minutes on-site.
Same equipment as the dealer, typically well below dealer rates. Quote on the phone, before we roll.
Cut a spare while you still have a working key — dramatically faster and cheaper than starting from scratch.
Brand-new model years sometimes need the dealer the first 12–18 months. We’ll tell you on the phone if that’s your situation.
Call ☎ (941) 666-7447 for a free quote on your specific situation. We answer 24/7.
// KEY TECH
Cut blade, no chip. Cheapest to duplicate. Older vehicles and some commercial trucks.
Chip in the key head authenticates to the immobilizer. Programming required on top of cutting.
Transponder with built-in lock/unlock buttons. Rolling-code encryption per transmission.
Push-button start. Fob communicates with car via low-frequency signal. Backup key blade still required.
Restricted programming; aftermarket tools lag 12–24 months. Sometimes dealer-only the first year.
Apple CarKey, Android Automotive, Tesla, GM connected car. Physical backup still matters — batteries die.

Super Locksmith responded quickly and was at my place within an hour of me reaching out! Their price was a bit higher than other businesses that got back to me, but they were effective and professional. Would definitely keep their number handy!
// Local conditions
Dispatch across Longboat Key runs through Longbeach Village, Bay Isles, Country Club Shores and Buttonwood Harbour, and the drive time between them is the reason we quote a window rather than a single number. Longbeach Village and Buttonwood Harbour sit far enough apart that traffic decides the order we take calls in, so the arrival estimate you get on the phone reflects where the nearest van actually is rather than a figure printed on a van door.
Longboat Key — slender barrier island of gulf-front condominiums and golf communities — generates a particular mix of calls. Locksmith work follows how a place is built and used far more than it follows the calendar, which is why the hardware carried for Longboat Key is not identical to what goes on the van for the next town over.
Housing in Longboat Key dates mostly to the 1950s-70s, which means a lot of original Grade 3 cylinders still in service. They wear out quietly: the key starts needing a wiggle, then a lift, then one day it does not turn at all. A rekey is usually enough at that stage, and it costs far less than discovering the problem during a lockout.
Longboat Key is strongly owner-occupied, so the work skews toward upgrades and long-term security rather than turnover: deadbolt replacement, keying the whole house alike, and reinforcing strike plates that were fitted once and never touched again.
A meaningful share of Longboat Key lives in larger buildings, which brings work a single-family street never generates: mailbox locks, buzzer and intercom entry, common-door hardware, and master-key systems where a manager needs access that residents do not have.
Longboat Key is a smaller community of around 7,512 people, which changes the economics: response time depends on where the nearest van happens to be, and it is worth asking for a realistic window rather than assuming a fifteen-minute arrival.
There are about 9,865 housing units in Longboat Key. That number matters more than it looks: it sets how many doors, how much builder-grade hardware from the same era, and how many properties were keyed alike when they were built and never rekeyed since.
Longboat Key sits in Sarasota County, and county lines matter for locksmith work because response areas, permitting for commercial hardware, and the local authority a business deals with all follow them rather than city boundaries.
// INTELLIGENCE DATABASE
Typically 30-60% less for the same cut-and-program work on mainstream vehicles. Example: a key the dealer quotes at a flat rate we often do for a flat rate in Longboat Key. Exception is very new model years where aftermarket tools haven't caught up.
Yes. We can pull the original key code by VIN (for most manufacturers), or decode the lock directly if VIN-based code isn't available. All-keys-lost scenarios typically take 45-90 minutes on-site in Longboat Key.
Yes. Proximity fobs for every major manufacturer. Programming requires the right diagnostic tool plus a physical backup blade cut. Pricing runs higher than transponder (a flat rate) but still under dealer.
Usually a key that lost sync with the immobilizer, a failing chip, or a worn ignition antenna. We diagnose on-site in Longboat Key and re-sync, replace the chip, or repair the ignition as needed.
Easy test - use the backup key blade inside the fob to unlock the driver door mechanically. If the door locks respond normally once you're in, it's probably just the fob battery (~a flat rate fix). If not, call us.
Usually yes, if we come to you in Longboat Key. Transponder spares take 20-40 minutes including programming; non-transponder keys are faster. Call ahead with your vehicle year/make/model so we bring the right blank.
