When your situation can’t wait until morning, Super Lock and Key runs 24/7 emergency locksmith service across Longboat Key and the rest of Sarasota County. We’ve been doing this since 2005, and a real Florida-licensed technician answers every call — no call center, no overseas dispatcher, no surprise upcharges when the tech arrives.
Typical emergency response across Longboat Key runs 20–45 minutes depending on time of day, traffic, and where you are in the 34228 area. Child-in-car, post-break-in, and no-shelter situations get priority dispatch ahead of routine lockouts. Call (941) 666-7447 and describe what’s happening — we’ll quote before we roll and stay on the phone if you need us to.
// WHEN TO CALL
Rain, heat, cold, late-night, or you’re with kids or elderly family. Call us — we prioritize weather and safety over everything else.
Call 911 first if heat / cold is a risk — fire crews arrive fast and don’t charge. Call us right after; we can often get there before they finish.
Police first, then us. We replace compromised hardware, reinforce the strike plate with 3-inch screws, and evaluate the frame — typically same-visit across Longboat Key.
If your keys were lost with ID that has your address, don’t wait for morning. We do same-night rekeys anywhere in Longboat Key or the 34228 zip code.
Don’t try to fish the key out yourself — you’ll wedge it deeper. We extract on-site and rekey or swap the cylinder depending on wear.
Staff can’t get in, revenue bleeding by the hour. We prioritize pre-open commercial lockouts so you’re open before the first customer arrives.
// WHAT WE PROMISE
A real person answers every call — nights, weekends, holidays. No voicemail mazes.
We give you a real time estimate, not a fake “15 minutes guaranteed” banner. We stick to what we tell you.
Drilling is the last resort. Your lock should be working when we leave, not replaced because we couldn’t pick it.
Kid or pet locked in a vehicle gets bumped to the front of the queue at no surcharge. Always.
We don’t charge extra because you got locked out on the 4th of July. Same flat-rate pricing year round.
You hear the price on the phone before a truck rolls. That number is what shows up on the invoice.

Super Locksmith responded quickly and was at my place within an hour of me reaching out! Their price was a bit higher than other businesses that got back to me, but they were effective and professional. Would definitely keep their number handy!
// Local conditions
Dispatch across Longboat Key runs through Longbeach Village, Bay Isles, Country Club Shores and Buttonwood Harbour, and the drive time between them is the reason we quote a window rather than a single number. Longbeach Village and Buttonwood Harbour sit far enough apart that traffic decides the order we take calls in, so the arrival estimate you get on the phone reflects where the nearest van actually is rather than a figure printed on a van door.
Longboat Key — slender barrier island of gulf-front condominiums and golf communities — generates a particular mix of calls. Locksmith work follows how a place is built and used far more than it follows the calendar, which is why the hardware carried for Longboat Key is not identical to what goes on the van for the next town over.
Housing in Longboat Key dates mostly to the 1950s-70s, which means a lot of original Grade 3 cylinders still in service. They wear out quietly: the key starts needing a wiggle, then a lift, then one day it does not turn at all. A rekey is usually enough at that stage, and it costs far less than discovering the problem during a lockout.
Longboat Key is strongly owner-occupied, so the work skews toward upgrades and long-term security rather than turnover: deadbolt replacement, keying the whole house alike, and reinforcing strike plates that were fitted once and never touched again.
A meaningful share of Longboat Key lives in larger buildings, which brings work a single-family street never generates: mailbox locks, buzzer and intercom entry, common-door hardware, and master-key systems where a manager needs access that residents do not have.
Longboat Key is a smaller community of around 7,512 people, which changes the economics: response time depends on where the nearest van happens to be, and it is worth asking for a realistic window rather than assuming a fifteen-minute arrival.
// INTELLIGENCE DATABASE
Typical emergency dispatch to Longboat Key runs 20-45 minutes depending on time of day and where you are in the 34228 area. Child-in-car and post-break-in calls get priority ahead of routine lockouts. Call (941) 666-7447 for current ETA.
What that means in Longboat Key specifically: The median Longboat Key home dates to 1979 — pre-1980 stock, which usually means original builder-grade cylinders that rekey at the bottom of the range. With about 6% of homes rented, move-in rekeys are the most common paid job here, and per-cylinder pricing drops once more than one door is done on the same visit. At a median home value near a flat rate a fair number of these calls involve high-security or multipoint hardware, which sits above the ranges above.
Our after-hours rate is a modest premium (typically 1.25x-1.5x) over daytime, disclosed on the phone before we roll. We never charge holiday surcharges - same rate on Thanksgiving as on a regular Tuesday.
Only as a last resort, and only when we can't get it open non-destructively. The vast majority of Longboat Key lockouts are solved with picking, bumping, or bypass tools in under 10 minutes. If anyone quotes you 'we have to drill it' on a standard residential lock, get a second opinion.
Longboat Key is a smaller community of around 7,512 people, so the honest answer is that arrival depends on where the nearest van is when you call — which is why you get a window rather than a single number. With 58% of homes seasonal, a good number of these calls are arrivals — someone at a property they have not opened in months.
Yes - commercial pre-open lockouts are priority dispatch because every hour closed is revenue lost. We try to have you open before the first customer arrives. Call the moment you realize the issue.
High. If your keys were lost with ID showing your home address, the keys and the address together are a break-in risk. Same-night rekey is standard in Longboat Key for this situation - don't wait for morning.
Yes. We run 24/7/365 emergency locksmith service across Longboat Key and Sarasota County. Real dispatcher, real locksmith, real response. Call (941) 666-7447 at any hour.
