Locksmith Longwood, FL
Your Hometown Locksmith in Longwood, FL
Longwood traces its roots to the 1870s, when Edward Warren Henck settled the area and gave it its name. Its historic district near Church Avenue still anchors the city, and about 15,000 residents now live among those older streets, newer subdivisions, and a busy business corridor along State Road 434. Lion Locksmith & Security calls Longwood home, so you reach a nearby locksmith instead of a national dispatcher. We are a family business with a second-generation locksmith in charge, and we treat our hometown's homes and businesses with the same care we give our own.
Residential Locksmith Services for Longwood Homes
Longwood homeowners usually need a locksmith for stronger locks, fewer keys, or a fresh start after a move. Changing locks is the job we do most often. We bring these home services to your door.
- Lock changes for worn, damaged, or outdated locks
- Rekeying that makes every old key useless
- Deadbolt and lock installation on front, back, and side doors
- Smart lock and keypad lock installation
- Sliding door, patio door, and mailbox lock replacement
- Lockout help when you are stuck outside your house
We set every price before work begins, so you know the cost up front. If your current locks are in good shape, we will tell you that rekeying costs less than replacing them. We would rather give you honest advice than sell you hardware you do not need.
Commercial Lock and Door Work Along State Road 434
State Road 434 is Longwood's main business corridor, crossing the city to US 17-92 with an I-4 interchange along the way. Offices, shops, and service businesses on this stretch need doors that open, close, and lock every time. For these businesses, we fit and tune commercial door closers, fix doors that stick or fail to latch, and install panic hardware. We also set up master key systems so managers carry one key while staff keys open only the rooms they need. Our commercial locksmith work is a core part of our business.
Door Hardware That Stands Up to Central Florida Wind
Strong gusts are hard on commercial doors in this part of Florida. Wind can fling an open door past its normal swing, and the closer takes the impact. Over time, that wears out the closer, knocks the door out of alignment, and leaves it slamming or failing to latch. We swap worn closers, tune the closing and latching speed, and may suggest a chain stop that keeps wind from pushing the door too far. A door that closes the same way every time protects your building and the people walking through it.
Caring for Older Locks in the Longwood Historic District
The Longwood Historic District has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1990. It includes 37 historic buildings, such as the Bradlee-McIntyre House and the Longwood Hotel, a short walk from the SunRail station on Church Avenue. Older doors often have worn locks, loose strike plates, or hardware that no longer lines up with the frame. We look at what you have and explain whether rekeying, a new lock that fits the existing holes, or a door adjustment makes the most sense.

Longwood Locksmith FAQs
What locksmith services do you offer in Longwood?
We handle residential and commercial lock and door work, including lock changes, rekeying, deadbolt installation, lockouts, door closers, panic bars, and master key systems. We also install smart locks and standalone keypad locks. Car lockouts and basic car keys are available as well, though home and business work is our focus.
How much does a locksmith cost in Longwood, FL?
Cost comes down to the type of job, the hardware, and how many doors are on the list. We use upfront, flat pricing and give free estimates, so you know the total before any work starts. Call us for a quote, and ask about our military and senior discount.
Are locksmiths licensed in Longwood, FL?
No statewide locksmith license exists in Florida. That makes it worth asking any locksmith whether they are bonded, insured, and background-checked. Lion Locksmith & Security is all three, and you can check with the city if you want to confirm any local requirements.
Can you rekey the locks in an older Longwood home?
Yes, as long as the locks are in good working condition. Rekeying swaps the small pins in the cylinder, so your old keys stop working and new ones take over. If a lock is badly worn or the door no longer lines up, we will explain why a replacement or a door adjustment is the better fix.
Do you have a shop I can visit in Longwood?
No. We are a mobile-only locksmith with no storefront, so we bring the work to your home or business. That means you do not have to remove a lock or bring anything to us. Tell us where you are in Longwood, and we will let you know when we can come.
