Lock Repair in Lakeland

Professional lock repair for Lakeland homes & businesses

Most lock problems start small: a key that turns hard, a latch that does not catch or a knob that spins without moving the bolt. Left alone, they can leave a door stuck or a home harder to secure.

We diagnose the problem, explain what caused it and repair the lock where that makes sense. When a cylinder or hardware is worn beyond repair, we show you the replacement options and the price before any work begins.

Lakeland Key Service provides lock repair throughout Lakeland, FL and nearby Polk County, with the price quoted before any work starts. As your trusted Lakeland locksmith company, 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.

Why is my key hard to turn?

Dirt, worn pins or a bent key are common causes. We can clean and lubricate the lock, or make a new key from the original if the key is worn.

Can you fix a lock without replacing it?

Often, yes. We repair what can be repaired and only recommend replacement when it is the better choice.

Do you repair smart locks?

We service mechanical locks and many smart lock models. Tell us the make when you book so we can confirm.

Will the repair damage my door?

No. We take care with the door and frame and tell you about any repair needed before we start.

How much does lock repair cost?

It depends on what is wrong. Many adjustments are quick, and we quote any replacement before we fit it.

Why does my deadbolt not line up with the strike?

The door may have settled or the strike plate may have moved. We check and adjust the strike or the door.

Can a worn lock be fixed with oil?

Light cleaning and lubrication help some locks, but worn pins and springs need repair or replacement.

Should I replace a lock that was picked or damaged?

Often, yes. We will look at the lock and tell you if replacement is the safer choice.
