Residential, commercial and automotive locksmith service in Lake Worth — lockouts, rekeys, car keys and security upgrades, 24/7, with the price agreed up front.
Lake Worth is a compact, densely built city on the coast just south of West Palm Beach, with a walkable downtown along Lake and Lucerne Avenues, a large stock of 1920s and mid-century bungalows and cottages, and a mix of owner-occupied homes and rentals. Add in condos on the barrier island, older commercial buildings downtown, and a lot of original hardware still in service, and the lock and key work here runs from vintage mortise locks to modern smart locks. We are a licensed and insured, fully mobile locksmith covering all of it.
A real person answers the phone 24 hours a day, and because Lake Worth sits right next to our home base, a technician is usually 20 to 30 minutes from most addresses and often less. Every quoted job is a flat price you approve before we begin, there is no call-out fee once you have agreed to it, and the great majority of locks we handle are opened, repaired, or rekeyed without any damage to the door or the hardware.
Call 561-200-2832 for immediate help in Lake Worth, or request a scheduled visit that fits your day.
Lockouts are the most frequent call we take in Lake Worth, and they rarely need a broken door. Our technicians pick and bypass the large majority of residential and commercial locks, so a bungalow in the historic districts, a condo on the island, or a storefront on Lake Avenue is usually open in minutes with nothing to replace. We work the city around the clock and confirm the flat rate before starting. Older downtown buildings and original home hardware can be worn or unusual, so if a lock has already failed we tell you before any drilling and re-quote the repair on the spot. Our emergency lockout service page has the full scope.
Because Lake Worth has so much rental turnover and so many recently sold older homes, rekeying is usually the fastest way to control who holds a working key. We re-pin the locks you already have so every older key stops working the instant we finish, and where doors share a keyway we can bring the front, back, and any gate or garage-entry locks onto one key. On historic homes we can often rekey the original mortise or rim hardware rather than replace it, keeping the character intact. A standard rekey runs about $20 to $28 per cylinder, quoted flat. More is on our home rekeying service page.
A Lake Worth lock that binds, turns roughly, or will not throw the bolt can very often be repaired rather than replaced, which matters in a city with this much older housing. Near the ocean, salt air corrodes exterior hardware and humidity swells doors out of square; on the older homes it is usually decades of wear on a mortise lock, a rim cylinder, or a skeleton-key set. We realign strikes, service or swap cylinders, springs, and pins, source vintage-style parts where we can, and adjust the door so the latch seats cleanly. Most repairs are done in one visit, with the price agreed first. If a repair is not worthwhile, we quote a replacement instead. See our lock repair work.
When a Lake Worth lock is past repair, or you want better hardware, we supply and install deadbolts, handle sets, mortise locks, sliding-door locks, and gate and mailbox hardware. On historic homes we can source finishes and styles that suit the period rather than defaulting to a modern big-box set, and we match an existing keyway to keep one key or key everything alike. Hardware and labor are quoted as one flat figure, a supplied-and-installed deadbolt from around $120, and each new lock is tested against the door before we leave. Our lock replacement and fitting page has the list.
For Lake Worth 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 downtown retail with heavy foot traffic and for owners of rental units who want to control key copying. We also fit and configure keypad and smart locks from Yale, Schlage, and August, which let a landlord change codes between tenants without a locksmith visit, and we register everything to you. We will talk through the right option first. More is on our high-security and smart lock service page.
If you have lost every key to a vehicle in Lake Worth, we come to the car and make a working one on site, whether it is parked on a narrow downtown street, in a driveway in the historic districts, or in a beach lot on the island. 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 here it is a routine visit of under an hour, with no tow because the car never moves. Confirm your year, make, and model when you call. 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 everyday automotive calls in Lake Worth, 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, and because Lake Worth is close to base, help is usually quick. More is on our automotive locksmith service page.
We cut accurate duplicates for house, office, mailbox, padlock, and cabinet keys throughout Lake Worth, 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. Landlords and downtown owners in particular tend to run one worn key for years, so spares are worth making before it fails. Every key we cut is tested in the lock before you take it. Our key cutting service covers residential and commercial keys.
Lake Worth commercial work centers on the downtown Lake and Lucerne Avenue blocks, plus offices and light-industrial units along Dixie Highway. 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 including older storefront hardware, fit mortise and rim locks, and open the premises when a door will not unlock before opening. Emergency call-out runs 24/7 and planned work is scheduled around your trading hours. See our commercial locksmith service for the full picture.
We install and service electronic access control for Lake Worth businesses, including keypad, fob, and card entry, electric strikes, magnetic locks, request-to-exit sensors, and door closers, along with code-compliant panic and exit hardware for spaces that need a fast, lawful way out, such as bars, restaurants, and venues downtown. On older buildings we work out how to add modern access hardware without damaging the original doors. 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.

Because the city sits right next to our home base, most addresses see a technician well inside the 20 to 30 minute window, and we also cover West Palm Beach, Lantana, Palm Springs, and the nearby communities in a similar time. There is no part of the city that is out of easy reach.
