Can you make a car key with no original?
Yes. We can cut and program a replacement key or fob even if you have zero copies left. We'll need the title or registration showing ownership and a photo ID.
How much does a typical lockout cost?
Cost varies by time of day, distance, and lock type. We give a full all-in quote on the phone before dispatching. We don't quote a low service fee and then surprise you with add-ons.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes — master keying, panic bars, electronic access control, storefront door repair, and after-hours emergency commercial service are all part of our regular work.
Will you rekey my locks instead of replacing them?
Almost always, yes. Rekeying is cheaper and faster than replacement when the lock itself is in good condition. We only recommend replacement if the lock is worn beyond reliable rekeying.
Can you install smart locks?
Yes — Schlage Encode, Yale Assure 2, August, Kwikset Halo, Level Bolt, and most other major smart locks. We handle install, programming, and home automation integration.
What if I'm locked out of a rental property?
We can usually open the door, but we need to verify either through the owner, property manager, or rental confirmation that you are an authorized occupant before we unlock.
Do you charge a fee just to come out?
No fake estimates. We give a realistic all-in price on the phone, and you decide before we dispatch. The price you hear is the price you pay.
Can you make keys for older cars?
Yes — even classic and pre-transponder vehicles. Older cars are often easier because there's no chip to program; just a key to cut.
Do you do safe lockouts?
Yes for most residential safes — Sentry, Liberty, First Alert, Honeywell, gun safes, and many others. Some high-security commercial safes require specialty service, which we'll quote separately.
Are your technicians background-checked?
Yes. Every locksmith on our roster passes a background check before going on calls. You can ask any technician for ID and license on arrival.
Do you serve Santa Rosa Beach?
Yes — Santa Rosa Beach is at the center of our service footprint. We cover Santa Rosa Beach, 30A, Point Washington, Blue Mountain Beach.
How can I reach a real human at SRB Lock Tech?
