Super Lock and Key covers Venice 24 hours a day, with most calls reached in under 30 minutes. Local housing dates to a median of 1984, so standard deadbolt hardware is what we mostly see; 20% of homes here are rented, so move-in rekeys are a steady call; 21.9% sit in larger buildings where buzzer and mailbox work comes up.

// 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 Venice, 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 Venice 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 Venice Island to Golden Beach — if you're in Sarasota County, we cover your area. No mileage fees within our service zone.

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 Venice runs through Venice Island, South Venice, Venice Gardens and Golden Beach, and the drive time between them is the reason we quote a window rather than a single number. Venice Island and Golden Beach 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.
Venice — Gulf-coast city known for its Italian-inspired downtown and shark-tooth beaches — 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 Venice is not identical to what goes on the van for the next town over.
Most of Venice went up between 1980 and 2000, so the common setup is a keyed knob paired with a single-cylinder deadbolt from the original build. Thirty-year-old builder-grade hardware is the usual weak point — the deadbolt still throws, but the strike plate is held by three-quarter-inch screws into soft jamb wood.
Venice 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 Venice 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.
Venice is a smaller community of around 26,467 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 20,190 housing units in Venice. 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.
Venice 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
a flat rate per cylinder plus a service call. A typical 4-door Venice home rekeyed key-alike (one key opens every exterior door) runs a flat rate total.
Rekey if your hardware is Grade 1 or 2 and in good shape - cheaper and just as secure. Replace if the hardware is builder-grade (Grade 3), worn, or you want a smart-lock upgrade.
Yes. We handle smart-lock installs across Venice - hardware swap, smart-home hub pairing, keypad programming, user-code setup, and integration with Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, or SmartThings.
3-inch strike plate screws (a flat rate in hardware, 15 minutes of work). Turns your strike from a 3/4-inch-anchored piece of metal into something that actually grips the stud behind the jamb. Stops most kick-in attacks cold.
Yes, within whatever the lease allows. Most leases require landlord permission for lock changes. Talk to the property manager first; we can often coordinate with them for a compliant rekey.
Lockouts: 5-15 minutes after arrival. Rekeys: 30-60 minutes for a full home. Smart-lock install: 30-45 minutes. Deadbolt swap: 20-30 minutes per door. Most residential visits wrap in under 90 minutes total.
