Residential, commercial and automotive locksmith service in Sebastian — lockouts, rekeys, car keys and security upgrades, 24/7, with the price agreed up front.
Sebastian is a coastal city in Indian River County, on the lagoon near the Sebastian Inlet, north of Vero Beach. It has a relaxed, working character built around fishing and the river, a grid of modest single-family homes, and pockets of newer development. Pelican Island, the first national wildlife refuge, lies just offshore. The lock and key work here is mostly straightforward residential: lockouts, rekeys after a sale, and repair or replacement of hardware worn by salt air and time. We are a licensed and insured, fully mobile locksmith.
Sebastian is at the far northern edge of our service area, so you should expect a significantly longer wait than closer to our Palm Beach County base. For anything that is not an emergency, a scheduled visit is almost always the better option, and we will give you a straight, realistic arrival time when you call. A real person answers the phone 24 hours a day, every quoted job is a flat price you approve first, there is no call-out fee once agreed, and the great majority of locks we handle are opened, repaired, or rekeyed without any damage.
Call 561-200-2832 for immediate help in Sebastian, or request a scheduled visit that fits your day.
Lockouts are the most common call we take in Sebastian, and they rarely need a broken door. Our technicians pick and bypass the large majority of residential locks, so a home in the highlands grid, a riverfront property, or a shop along US-1 is usually open in minutes once we arrive, with nothing to replace. Because Sebastian is at the far northern edge of our area, we confirm both the flat rate and a realistic arrival time before you commit, and for a non-urgent lockout a scheduled visit usually makes more sense. Salt-worn hardware can seize past easy picking, and if a lock has already failed we tell you before drilling and re-quote the repair on the spot. Our emergency lockout service page has the full scope.
After a purchase, a closing, a rental turnover, or a lost set of keys in Sebastian, rekeying is usually the practical first step, and it costs a fraction of new hardware. We re-pin the locks you already have so every older key stops working the moment we finish, and where doors share a keyway we can bring the front, back, and any gate or shed locks onto one key. A standard rekey runs about $20 to $28 per cylinder, quoted flat, and because this is a longer run for us, a scheduled visit lets us plan the trip. More is on our home rekeying service page.
A Sebastian lock that binds, turns roughly, or will not throw its bolt can usually be repaired without replacing the whole unit. Close to the lagoon and the inlet, salt air is hard on exterior hardware and gate and screen-enclosure latches corrode quickly; elsewhere it is plain wear and doors moved out of square by humidity. We realign strikes, service or swap corroded or worn cylinders, pins, and springs, and adjust the door so the latch seats cleanly. We carry the everyday parts for residential hardware and complete most repairs in one visit, with the price agreed first. If a repair is not worthwhile, we quote a replacement. See our lock repair work.
When a Sebastian lock is past repair, or the salt has finally won, we supply and install deadbolts, handle sets, mortise locks, sliding-glass-door locks, and gate and mailbox hardware. For exterior and riverfront doors we recommend corrosion-resistant finishes and a grade that will last in the climate. We match an existing keyway to keep one key or key everything new alike, and every lock is tested before we leave. A supplied-and-installed deadbolt starts around $120, hardware and labor quoted as one flat figure. Our lock replacement and fitting page lists what we carry.
For Sebastian homes and businesses that want more than a standard cylinder, we install restricted and high-security lines such as Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, and Schlage Primus, with keys that cannot be copied at a kiosk and cylinders that resist picking, bumping, and drilling. That is worth considering for homes and boats that are left unattended for stretches at a time. We also fit and configure keypad and smart locks from Yale, Schlage, and August, which let an owner manage access remotely, and we register everything to you. We will talk through the right option first, and this kind of upgrade fits well with a scheduled visit. More is on our high-security and smart lock service page.
If you have lost every key to a vehicle in Sebastian, we can come to the car and make a working one on site, whether it is at a boat ramp, in a driveway in the grid, or in a lot along US-1. We read the lock or pull the key code, cut a fresh blade, and program the transponder or smart key to the immobilizer. Basic transponder keys are typically from $110; laser-cut and proximity keys cost more. For most makes it is a visit of about an hour, with no tow. Because Sebastian is at the far northern edge of our area, confirm your year, make, and model and we will give you a realistic ETA. Our car key replacement service lists the makes we cover.
Keys locked in the car, a key that will not turn, and a seized ignition are common automotive calls in Sebastian, and all three are handled where the vehicle sits. We open cars without damage to the door, glass, or trim, extract keys snapped off in a lock or ignition, and repair or replace worn ignition cylinders for many makes, re-keying the replacement to your existing key where we can. If a new key is part of the fix, we cut and program it on site. The price is flat and agreed first, with an honest arrival time. More is on our automotive locksmith service page.
We cut accurate duplicates for house, mailbox, padlock, dock-box, and cabinet keys throughout Sebastian, including older bit and barrel keys and restricted or high-security blanks a hardware store cannot copy, where you hold the authorization. Cutting from a working key is quick; cutting to code or by impression when no key exists takes longer and is priced to match. Boat owners and part-year residents rely on a single key for a slip or a home, so spares are worth making before it is lost. Every key we cut is tested in the lock before you take it. Our key cutting service covers residential and light-commercial keys.
Sebastian’s commercial base is modest: shops and restaurants along Indian River Drive and US-1, the riverfront and marina businesses, and small offices and service operations. We design master-key systems scoped to your layout and access rules, documented so they can be extended and cut to restricted blanks so no one copies a key without your approval. We also rekey after turnover, repair and replace worn commercial cylinders, fit storefront and mortise hardware, and open the premises when a door will not unlock before opening. Emergency call-out runs 24/7, with a realistic ETA up front, and planned work is scheduled to make the trip efficient. See our commercial locksmith service for more.
We install and service electronic access control for Sebastian businesses and facilities, including keypad, fob, and card entry, electric strikes, magnetic locks, request-to-exit sensors, and door closers, plus code-compliant panic and exit hardware where a space needs a fast, lawful way out. Riverfront and marina installations get weather-rated hardware. Existing systems are repaired and reprogrammed as staff and tenants change; new ones are specified to the opening and the building code. Where a door must be both secure and a legal exit we make sure it is genuinely both. This sits alongside our access control and exit hardware service.
