Emergency Locksmith

24/7 Emergency Locksmith Serving Longwood and Seminole County

Not every lock problem is an emergency, and knowing the difference can save you money. A true lock emergency leaves a person stranded or a property unsecured. Examples include a lockout at night, a door that will not lock after a break-in, and keys that have been stolen. Those problems cannot wait for a convenient appointment. Lion Locksmith & Security is a family-owned, mobile emergency locksmith based in Longwood, and we take urgent calls around the clock.

Emergency Locksmith Services We Provide

Emergencies rarely wait for business hours. As a mobile locksmith, we come to you at home, at work, or at your car. These are the emergency calls we handle.

• Home, apartment, and business lockout services
• Car lockouts
• Urgent lock rekeying after lost or stolen keys
• Lock changes and new lock installation after a break-in
• Doors that will not latch, lock, or close
• Failed exit devices and door closers on commercial doors

Not every urgent problem has the same fix. Tell us what happened when you call, so we can explain what the job involves.

When Lost Keys or a Break-In Call for Fast Action

A missing key is a security problem even if the door is closed and locked. Anyone holding that key can let themselves in, so you should have the lock rekeyed as soon as possible. Lock rekeying sets the existing lock to a new key, which usually costs less than replacing the hardware. After a break-in, we check the lock, the metal strike plate that the bolt locks into, and the door frame, because a forced door often has damage you cannot see at first glance.

Doors That Will Not Lock or Latch

A door that swings open on its own is an open invitation, especially on a storefront at closing time. The cause is often a misaligned strike, a worn latch, or a door closer that has failed. Commercial door repair and alignment is one of our core services. Homes get the same attention when a front door or deadbolt stops lining up.

Urgent Help for Homes, Businesses, and Vehicles

Emergencies look different depending on where they happen. At home, it is often a lockout, a lost key, or a door damaged by a break-in, and our residential locksmith service covers each of those. For a business, the urgent problem may be a storefront that will not lock at closing or an exit door that will not open, which is commercial locksmith work. On the road, we open locked cars. Whatever the setting, we tell you on the phone whether the job is one we can handle.

How After-Hours Calls Work With Our 24 Hour Locksmith

We are open 24/7, and we want to be honest about what that means. Our owner answers the phone and runs the calls himself, so there may be times when we are already on a job or cannot safely take a late request. When that happens, we tell you right away so you can make another plan. We never promise an arrival time we cannot keep.

Many locksmiths charge more for urgent or late-night work than for a scheduled visit. We use upfront, flat pricing, and we tell you the price before any work begins. Ask for the total up front from any emergency locksmith you call, and ask for a written invoice when the work is finished.

While you wait, stay somewhere safe and visible. Keep your phone charged and nearby, because we may text for a photo of the lock or directions to a gate. If the door is damaged and cannot be closed, avoid leaving the property unattended until we secure it.

Spotting a Real Local Locksmith in a Hurry

Emergency searches attract scam listings that quote a low price and charge several times more on arrival. A real local locksmith gives you a business name you can verify, a firm quote, and a marked vehicle. Lion Locksmith & Security is bonded, insured, and background-checked, and our second-generation owner arrives in uniform. We will ask for your ID as well, because a locksmith who opens doors without checking is not protecting anyone.
