FAQ
Locksmith questions, answered straight
Starting prices, why they are “from,” how long we take to get there, and how you can pay. If your job is different, we still give you the number before work begins.
How much does a lockout cost?
Car and home lockouts start at $95. That is a starting price, not a flat rate for every job.
The final price depends on how the lock is built and how we have to open it:
- Some vehicles and doors open quickly with standard tools.
- Newer cars, high-security locks, and certain door designs take more time and different equipment.
- A stuck, damaged, or frozen lock can also change the work involved.
When you call, tell us the year, make, and model (or the type of door). We will give you a clear price for your situation before we start.
How much does it cost to copy or add a car key?
Copying or adding a car key starts at $120.
Keys are not all the same, so the price moves with the type of key and the vehicle:
- A basic transponder (chip) key is one kind of job.
- A remote key with buttons is another — it needs cutting and programming.
- Push-to-start / proximity fobs take more programming and parts.
- The year, make, and model matter. A 2010 sedan and a newer SUV are not priced the same.
Give us the vehicle details and we will tell you the exact price before we cut or program anything.
What if all my keys are lost?
All-keys-lost (AKL) service starts at $170.
This is more involved than copying a key you already have. If nothing is left to copy, we usually need to:
- Identify the exact key blank for your vehicle
- Decode or originate the blade so the mechanical key fits the lock
- Program a transponder, remote, or push-to-start fob to the car
Same idea as a regular extra key: the vehicle and key type set the final price. We confirm it with you first.
How long until you arrive?
In most cases we are at your location in 30 minutes or less.
That is typical for Pensacola, Gulf Breeze, Pensacola Beach, Navarre, Milton and Pace. Traffic, distance, and how many jobs are already on the road can add a little time. When you call, we give you a real arrival window — not a guess after we are already late.
What payment methods do you accept?
We take almost any common payment method, including:
- Credit and debit cards
- Cash App
- Venmo
- Cash and other standard digital payments
If you are not sure, ask when you book. We will make it easy to pay on site.
Do you work with car keys and fobs?
Yes. Automotive keys are a core part of what we do: lockouts, extra keys, transponder programming, remotes with buttons, and push-to-start fobs.
We work with most major makes. If you are unsure about your vehicle, send the year, make, and model — we will tell you if we can do it and what it will cost.
Which areas do you serve?
We provide mobile locksmith service in Pensacola, Gulf Breeze, Pensacola Beach, Navarre, Milton and Pace.
We come to you — house, parking lot, roadside, or business. If you are just outside that list, call anyway. Nearby jobs are often still in range.
