What we see in Tampa
Tampa is a lot of city to cover, so the dispatcher sends the van closest to you, not the next one on a list. Bungalows in Seminole Heights and Hyde Park often still have original doors with old mortise locks worth saving; we repair or rekey them before suggesting a replacement.
Westshore and downtown are offices, shops and apartment buildings: panic bars, door closers, master-key systems and card readers. We can work after hours so a lock change does not stop your business, and the price is still written before we start.
Every visit follows the same rules as the rest of our crews: price written and signed before we start, marked van, technician with ID, and a pick before a drill.
Questions people ask before they call
How fast can you get to me in Tampa?
The Tampa Bay crew is usually at your door in about 25 minutes, day or night. The dispatcher gives you a real time when you call, based on where the nearest van is.
Which number do I call?
855-513-3060, 24 hours. The dispatcher who answers is ours, not a call center, and speaks English and Spanish.
Do you do commercial work in Tampa?
Yes: panic bars, door closers, master-key systems, access control and after-hours lock changes for offices, shops and apartment buildings. Commercial jobs are quoted in writing, and larger ones after a site visit.
Can you save the original lock on an old bungalow?
Often, yes. Many old mortise locks can be cleaned, repaired and rekeyed. If the lock cannot be saved we tell you before replacing it, and we quote both options.
Do you charge for the trip?
No separate trip fee inside our coverage. The price you hear on the phone is labor and standard parts for the job, all in. After 10 pm there is a small after-hours call, and you hear that on the phone too.
