Lock Installation in Lakeland

Professional lock installation for Lakeland homes & businesses

A good lock only works when it is installed properly. A misaligned strike plate or a short screw will make even a high-quality deadbolt hard to use, and it will not hold up under pressure.

We install residential and commercial locks, check the door and frame, fit the strike plate and test the bolt and latch. We can install a lock you already bought, and we will tell you if the door needs a repair first.

Lakeland Key Service provides lock installation throughout Lakeland, FL and nearby Polk County, with the price quoted before any work starts. As your locksmith near Lakeland, FL, we check the lock first and fix the cause, not just the symptom. Questions first? Read our FAQs.

What Lakeland customers say

locked my keys in the car at the publix on south florida ave. called these guys, guy was there in like 15 min. popped it open in 2 minutes. charged what he said on the phone. lifesaver

Danny AlbrittonCar Lockout · Lakeland, FL

Changed all the locks after my divorce. Lady on the phone was patient with me, I had a lot of questions. Technician came out, rekeyed 4 locks, showed me how the new keys work. Felt safe in my own house again. Thank you.

Cheryl BuntingLock Rekeying · Lakeland, FL

car key fob stopped working, dealership wanted $300+ to replace. these guys cut and programmed a new one for way less. works perfect. didnt know locksmiths did that honestly

Jasmine OkaforCar Keys & Fobs · Lakeland, FL

rekeyed the whole house after we bought it. previous owners had who knows how many keys floating around. tech was on time, polite, cleaned up after himself. price was what they quoted. no upsell nonsense

Travis McLendonLock Rekeying · Lakeland, FL

safe wouldn't open, combo was right but the mechanism was stuck. they came out, got it open without damaging anything, and fixed the lock. honest guys, didnt try to sell me a new safe

Earl DukesSafe Services · Lakeland, FL

Key broke off in my ignition. They got it out and cut me a new key. Took a little longer than expected because he had to run back for a tool, but he knocked a few bucks off without me even asking. Good guy.

Raymond CottleCar Keys & Fobs · Lakeland, FL

So here's my story. Got locked out of my house on a Sunday morning, no spare key, nobody home. Called around, most places wanted crazy weekend rates. These guys were reasonable. Took about 40 min to get here which felt long when you're sitting on your own porch but whatever. He picked the lock, no damage, done. Only 4 stars because of the wait but the guy was cool and the price was fair.

Marisol VegaHouse Lockout · Lakeland, FL

Fixed my deadbolt, works fine now. Good work, fair price. Would call again.

Walt PembertonLock Repair · Lakeland, FL

Locked out at 11pm with a sleeping baby in the car. I was panicking. Called these guys, they picked up, calmed me down, and had someone here in 12 minutes. He got the door open and didn't even charge me the full emergency rate. I'll never forget that. Thank you.

Rebecca StroudCar Lockout · Lakeland, FL

Had them install a new deadbolt on the front door. Good work, looks clean. They didn't have the finish I wanted in the truck so I had to wait a few days for them to come back but honestly no big deal. Would use again.

Gloria HinsonLock Installation · Lakeland, FL

my teenager lost her house key for the third time 🙄 called these guys to make copies. fast, cheap, and the guy joked with my daughter about keeping track of it. she hasn't lost it since lol

Nikki FontenotKey Duplication · Lakeland, FL

We've used them twice now — once for a lockout and once to rekey after a roommate moved out. Both times they were quick, fair, and didn't try to sell me anything I didn't need. The guy even tightened a loose handle while he was there. That's the kind of thing that makes you call them again.

Can you install a lock I bought myself?

Yes. Bring the lock and we will check that it fits your door before installing it.

What is the best lock for a front door?

A grade 1 or grade 2 deadbolt with a long strike is a common choice. We will explain the difference based on your door and your needs.

Do you install locks on commercial doors?

Yes. We install office, storefront and interior commercial locks and can coordinate master keying.

Will you repair my door if it does not close?

If the door or frame needs a small adjustment we can often do it on the same visit. Larger repairs will be quoted first.

How much does a lock installation cost?

The price depends on the lock type, the door and whether repairs are needed. We quote before installing.

Do you install both interior and exterior locks?

Yes. We install exterior entry locks, interior privacy locks and commercial door hardware.

How long does a lock installation take?

Most single-door installs are done in under an hour, depending on the lock and door condition.

What grade of lock should I get for my home?

Grade 1 is strongest for residential and commercial use, and grade 2 is a good balance for most homes. We will help you choose.
