Locksmith work across St. Petersburg & Pinellas County
St. Petersburg is two cities in one — century-old craftsman homes with original hardware, and a booming downtown of lofts, galleries and restaurants. We service both, across Pinellas County.
Lockouts — home, business & car
Non-destructive entry first, wherever the hardware allows. One call reaches live dispatch, and the nearest unit takes the run. Emergency service →
Rekeys & lock changes
Old keys dead on the spot — move-ins, turnovers, lost keyrings. Your hardware stays, the old keys stop working. Rekeying →
Car keys cut & programmed
All-keys-lost, transponders, fobs and push-to-start systems — made at your curb, no tow to the dealer. Car keys →
Commercial & master keys
Storefronts, offices and rentals — rekeys, restricted keyways and master systems scheduled around your hours. Commercial →
Lock repair & hardware
Sticky cylinders, corroded hardware, deadbolts that no longer throw — serviced or swapped the same visit. Residential →
Smart lock installation
Keypad and Wi-Fi deadbolts fitted correctly, with the mechanical override set up properly — the part DIY installs miss.

Why St. Pete calls Screw and Key
A Victorian in the Old Northeast does not take the same tools as a glass storefront on Central Ave. Our technicians carry both — mortise servicing and antique-compatible cylinders alongside modern smart locks and push-to-start programming — and we quote the true price before anyone drives.
St. Petersburg — plus all of Pasco, Hillsborough & Pinellas.
St. Petersburg anchors our Pinellas coverage, with units staged across the peninsula — St. Pete, the beaches edge, Largo and Pinellas Park all get short windows. Hillsborough and Pasco are covered by the same fleet.
Do not see your town? We cover surrounding communities across all three counties every day — with a typical 15–25 minute response in core areas. Call +1 (619) 345-0942 and we will tell you exactly how soon a technician can reach you.
St. Petersburg locksmith questions, answered.
Can you work on the original locks in my old St. Pete house?
Yes — mortise locks and antique cylinders are specialty work we do regularly in the Old Northeast, Kenwood and elsewhere. We service what can be saved and match replacement hardware to the door when it cannot.
Do you handle downtown loft and apartment lockouts?
Constantly. Downtown units, garage levels and high-rise entries across the Edge and Grand Central districts — with proof-of-residency checks your building management will appreciate.
Can you set up one key for my whole storefront?
Yes. We rekey or master-key most St. Pete storefronts to a single key, and can add restricted keyways so staff copies cannot be made at a hardware store.
Do you charge more at night or on weekends in St. Pete?
No. The quote approved before dispatch is the price you pay — same at 3pm on a Tuesday as at 3am on a Saturday.
How fast can you get to the beaches or Largo?
Units stage across Pinellas County, so calls from St. Pete Beach edge, Treasure Island area, Largo and Pinellas Park get realistic, short windows — the dispatcher tells you the honest number when you call.
