When it comes to securing your home, you need a locksmith you can count on. At Tampa Bay Lock & Key Inc, we’ve provided residential locksmith services to families across Tampa Bay since 1957. Whether you're locked out in the middle of the night, need to re-key after a move, or want to upgrade your locks for better protection—we’re ready to help, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.



We proudly serve Hillsborough, Pasco, and Pinellas Counties, offering fast, mobile locksmith services backed by decades of local experience.

24/7 Home Lockout Service

Locked out of your house, apartment, or condo? Don’t panic. We offer emergency lockout services with quick response times and non-destructive entry whenever possible. Our technicians are trained to open:



  • Front doors
  • Interior doors
  • Garage entry doors
  • Sliding doors and gates
  • Smart locks and keypads


No damage, no stress—just fast, friendly service when you need it most.

Re-Keying for Homes & Rental Properties

Re-keying your locks is one of the easiest ways to restore security after:



  • Moving into a new home
  • Losing a set of keys
  • Tenant turnover or eviction
  • Divorce or separation
  • Roommate changes


We adjust the internal pins of your existing locks so old keys no longer work—without replacing the full hardware. Re-keying is fast, affordable, and ideal for both homeowners and property managers.

Lock Installation & Upgrades

Looking to improve your home’s security? We install and upgrade a wide range of residential lock hardware, including:



  • Deadbolts and deadlatches
  • Keyed knob and lever locks
  • High-security locks and cylinders
  • Smart locks and electronic deadbolts
  • Keyless entry systems
  • Peep holes, strike plates, and door viewers


Our Tampa-based key shop also carries decorative locks, specialty hardware, and parts for unique applications. We’ll help you find the right lock for your home’s needs and budget.

Mailbox, Gate & Window Locks

We also service locks beyond your front door. Our residential locksmiths can repair or replace:



  • Mailbox locks (single or multi-unit)
  • Sliding patio door locks
  • Side gate and backyard access locks
