Sad but true... my door knob became loose and fell off (ugh) so I needed to have it fixed ASAP, so I could get to work! I quickly scanned Google reviews for a locksmith with good reviews who was also close by. I contacted Tampa Bay Lock and Key, Inc. I spoke with Sid, the owner, who quoted me a price and said he would get right out. He would also text when en route. He kept his word. Came right out, followed instructions for parking and, MOST IMPORTANTLY, charged what he said he would! I valued the professionalism and honesty of Sid so much that I had to give him a tip! Do I hope to have a lock issue again? Honestly, no. Do I know who I'll call if I do? Absolutely! Do I know who I'll recommend for locksmith services of any kind? You bet, Tampa Bay Lock and Key, Inc., every day, all day... they're 24 hours a day!! Thank you, Sid, for turning around a bad situation and gaining a customer for life!

I called several different lock smiths to get my front door unlocked and everyone was charging $75 or more to get one lock open. Of course i had my top and bottom locked so I would have to pay $150 atleast to get the door open. I had no chose but to chose someone bc i had my oven on. i tried Tampa Bay Lock and Key and was given a rate of $65 for both locks to be open. I could not believe one company I called called back to head my way and I told them i had a better rate and they told me it was impossible and that it surley was a scam. I tried it anyway. Sid the owner reaponded and I advised him that my oven was on and I needed my door open ASAP. Sid had my door open in no time. Sid was very professional and friendly and I would recommend him to anyone that is in need of fast and great service. I would defiinetly be calling Tampa Bay Lock and Key if I ever need locksmith service again.

First let me say, Tampa Bay lock and key is a staple piece of the Tampa Bay area. I am a NYC transplant and have been here for 42 years, this business is trully a homegrown business and they know the value of the customer with a committment to customer service. I used Tampa Bay Lock & key to gain access to one of my rental properties as well as install several new locks and rekey all the locks to work off of one lock. They provided time expectations and a thorough cost analysis. Spectacular service to Sid and his assistant. I have attempted to use other locksmith services but always got the bait and switch routine. The choice is up to you, if you want thorough service with cost efficiency choose Tampa Bay lock and key. If you want off the cuff cheap service and regrets, call the other guys. The choice is obvious. Thanks Sid, GREAT SERVICE !!!

The service I received from this locksmith was absolutely incredible. I think it's safe to say, nobody is happy when they get locked out of their house and have to call for help... especially not at 8am when heading to work. But Sid was so friendly, professional and quick, it really turned my bad day around. Within 30 minutes he arrived at my house and the price he charged for getting my door open was very reasonable. I really hope this never happens to me again, but if it does I will absolutely be using this company. I will be recommending to any friends family in the area who may one day need him.

We called Sid at 11pm on a Saturday-- Completely locked out of our apartment. Sid quoted us a cash price on the phone which we agreed to. He came out and went above and beyond. I won't go into the details of our long and miserable day but Sid was extremely professional and empathetic to us and out situation. After working to get our door unlocked he stuck to the quoted price which I was extremely grateful for. I would highly recommend Sid and his company. I would gladly call him in the future should I ever lock myself out of car or home. I am happy to recommend this local business. Thanks Sid.

One of those days were all you need is to lock your own keys in your car but the door is partially opened but just not enough..I was at work and wanted a fast fix and a reasonable price. Sid, the owner called when he was on his way and I told him I was at work and he said, "no problem, do you want me to text you when I'm here?" 10 MIN later he texted me that he had unlocked it and was out back. I was in between work and all I had to do was meet him and pay! He was very kind and a pleasure to interact with. Great costumer service and made my day feel a little easier! Thank you, Sid :)

The service from this locksmith was absolutely incredible. I was rushing out the house when I noticed that I locked myself out of my home. Needless to say, I was not a happy camper. I called 2 locksmiths before calling Tampa Bay Lock and Key Inc. Sid arrived within the estimated time, was friendly, professional and quick. Within 10 minutes after he arrived at my house he had the door opened and all for almost half of what others were charging. I really hope not to have a need for him again but if I do, I know who to call. Highly recommended!

We used Sid to replace our business locks. When calling his office, our call was answered by his staff, and we did not have to leave a message. Sid called us to advise he would be by today, and that he would call once he was on his way. He visited our office the same day, which was much appreciated. Sid was very efficient, friendly, competitive pricing, and a Tampa area business owner. Support your local businesses! We will use him again if needed, and will recommend him to everyone. Thank you Sid, it was a pleasure meeting you.

Straightforward, speedy, affordable. Get it done quick and easy. The staff here is friendly, attentive, and thorough. I left a key here by accident and they turned the place upside down to find it for me. They even offered a future discount when they felt bad for me. I come here for key copies, re-keying locks, and dependable service every time. If you need a lock re-keyed, be sure to call ahead to find out when they will have someone on hand who specializes in that area. Best of luck to Sid's, a true neighborhood institution.

My front door hardware jammed and broke one evening. I called Sid the next morning explaining the situation and he said he'd be happy to install any hardware I purchased to replace it. I got the hardware and he came out a few hours later. Showed me how the previous owner installed the deadbolt wrong so it wasn't secure and installed the new set perfectly! Professional, kind, fast service! I hope I don't have to use him again but if I do I have confidence it'll be fixed quickly and correctly.

SId was excellent ! I called at 11am today as the front door of our business wouldnt lock due to the thumb lock not wanting to turn. Sid said he would be here at 3pm . He called at 2:45 letting me know he was about 8 miles away. He arrived earlier than planned and fixed the issue quickly. We always call Sid when we need locks changed when an employee leaves the company. Awesome service and Awesome customer services- which is so very rare these days! Would definitely recommend!

Tampa Bay Lock And Key is by far, one of the best locksmith’s in the Tampa Bay Area! I called the company number number late on a Friday night and Sid agreed to come out first thing on Saturday morning to change the locks for my new house! He was on time and extremely knowledgeable and personable!!! He’s changed the locks at my previous home and at my church and he’s always very professional with a great sense of humor!

SO grateful to have this little gem in our neighborhood! My husband, 9 month old son and I just got locked out of our house on the way out for the day. We called, and owner Sid was at our house in maybe ten minutes. He was about to leave town for the weekend and wasn’t working today, and yet there he was! Five minutes or less and we were back inside and on schedule. Such a valuable service, done with kindness

Sid to the rescue! The thumb latch on my VERY old front door handle failed and I didn't have the patience to figure out if it was fixable.. Thank goodness I chose the right professional to help me out because it was beyond repair. Perfect service for a reasonable price! And Sid didn't even mind the unnecessary "supervision" two of my old dogs provided. Personal space is a meaningless phrase to them..

I had called the shop at 9:30 pm just expecting to get a recording that would give me the time the open since I needed a couple keys by 1st thing in the morning. Sid answered and said he was on a call and he could go back to the shop in a half hour to make me some keys. So I met him at 10 pm to get a couple keys made - he has an old-school work ethic that is refreshing to see.

I needed to switch out a few locks so I called a couple of locksmiths around town that had good reviews. They all said it would be at least a week. Then I called Tampa Bay Lock and Key and Sid was literally on my doorstep within 10 minutes. He is personable, reasonably priced and really knows his stuff. Will continue to use Tampa Bay Lock and Key for all of my locksmith needs!

Owner Sid was fabulous! I live in a condo and this is the only place we can get keys made. He is his only employee so between working in the shop, and house calls, he was generous with his time and stayed at shop until I could get there. He made me 8 keys and ALL of them worked!!! We love supporting small local businesses and this is one I would highly recommend.

Thank you to Sid and Tampa Bay Lock and Key! I got locked out of my house with my dog and no phone, and a thunderstorm coming. Had to flag down a neighbor to make the call. Tampa Bay Lock and Keg treated my situation as an emergency and was here in 20 minutes (I was lucky too that Sid was not farther away). Sid had my door unlocked in less that 10 minutes.

I'm writing this review as the Operations Manager for General Insulation. Had to find a locksmith that could come out and change our locks and had the fortune of finding Sid with Tampa Bay Lock and Key. What a pleasant person to deal with. Very efficient and professional service! I would recommend him if you're in the need of quick courteous service.

Quick, friendly, and efficient service. It can get pricey but if you could do it yourself (fix or ley locks) you would, but since you can’t....you pay for the convenience of someone fixing it for you & that’s where Mr. Sid comes in! He came same day, fixed our locks, explained why they broke, and was patient and answered all of our questions.

Tampa Bay Lock and Key changed on the locks on my home. Sid and his team were very professional, timely, and performed quality work. The new locks on my home actually work better than the old ones. I'm very satisfied with Tampa Bay Lock and Key, am happy that I have a local locksmith, and will gladly be a repeat customer when the time comes.

Late one evening, after a long day at work, I locked my keys in my Blazer. I called Sid (the owner) and he was there within 10 mins. He was able to get into my vehicle very quickly and was very polite and considerate. And his prices are more than reasonable. I highly recommend him...especially if you live in Seminole Heights. Thanks, Sid!

Sid Rose came out to my property and reset over a dozen locks, with some being over 35 years old. We spoke in the evening the day before and he arrived on time the next morning. He was professional, clean and provided outstanding service. For any of your lock and key needs, I would refer him and his company 10 out of 10 times.

Sid the owner is a God send. I was hopelessly locked out of my house, everyone was charging an insane amount of money for a door knob lock, and he worked with me. Out of 7 different locksmiths, he was the only 1 that gave me a discount. I would highly recommend his services. Thank God for people like Sid in the world.

We hired Tampa Bay Lock and Key to change our locks for two of our business's and we couldn't be happier! They were able to get out to us quickly and were in and out in about 30 min. Sid was able to make as many copies as we needed for our staff right there. Saved me a trip to the store! Highly recommend!

Sid (the owner) came out for a re-key after my husband and I purchased our first new home and everything about the transaction was fantastic! He was friendly, courteous, knowledgeable, and I would definitely recommend using this company (I know I will if I ever need any locksmith services again).

This is who you want to use for a locksmith. Local, independent, business. They knew exactly how to fix my problem, were thoughtful in how best to replace my locks, and very reasonable with pricing. Good to support businesses like this that have integrity and kindness. Highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing experience from start to end. Sid came straight to my house, and had my door unlocked in less then 30 seconds, in a terrible rain storm mind you!! Sid is extremely nice, and very professional, I couldn’t of asked for a better experience in a stressful situation.

Sid is amazing and a great guy! We needed several locks changed on our property and he didn't hesitate to come out and change the locks immediately. I had to cancel and reschedule the next day and he was there within an hour. Friendly and fast service what could anyone ask for!

The owner was so great! He was super friendly and came so quick and got me out of a pickle. He also gave a very fair price, unlike the other lock and key companies! Will definitely use this place again if I’m ever in another pickle. Thanks again, if you’re reading this!!

I am very pleased with the quality of service I received today. Sid was very friendly and courteous. When I called I spoke with Ashley,she was helpful with determining what I would need ,(I wasnt quite sure). I would absolutely use them again. A very satisfied customer!

I highly recommend Tampa Bay Lock and Key. I called to have two locks removed from air conditioning cages and Sid was here within the hour. He was polite, friendly, quick and had it done in no time. He will definitely be my go to locksmith for anything else I may need,

Super impressed with this company! The owner Sid came out and was available within an hour of my call (I didn’t have an emergent need). He was polite, punctual, did a great job, and pricing was very reasonable! Will definitely save his number and recommend to friends!

I called for a price to re-key our locks in the house. A few hours later it was all done. Sid came and did all three in no time and with a big smile. He is a great guy who knows what he is doing. If you are looking for a true professional, call Tampa Bay Lock and Key!

Sid came out on Memorial Day at 5pm to let me in! No additional costs for it being a holiday or anything. He was able to navigate our smart locks without causing any damage to our system and we’re still able to lock our doors! Highly recommend and super affordable!

I’m so glad that we chose this place to help us get our keys out of our locked car. I’m less than 15 min after my phone inquiry, the owner was at our house and had our keys in less than 2 minutes...literally! We will use this business for now on!!! Thank you …

We were locked out of our car outside a grocery store and the car was still running. Sid came right away. Even though the car had old manual locks with no easy grip on the lock latches inside , Sid got our car unlocked in just a couple of minutes. Great service!

I had a great experience yesterday here and with the owner. Very convenient to pop-in and get keys made. And when I realized after-hours that I may have left my phone there, he quickly went back and opened the shop back up to check for me and there was my phone!

Few weeks ago had to call Sid as i had locked my keys in my car. He got to me within 20 minutes of my call. had me unlocked and on my way less than 5 minutes after getting there. great service, great price. will call again if needing locksmith services.

Wow. Call Sid!! He will be there and he will make your problem vanish. I was locked out. Had a key but the lock wouldn't work. Sid came on a Friday night at 6pm to the rescue and was professional, quick, affordable, and kind. A craftsman and a savior.

I needed service at my new home for both rekeys and additional locks installed. The locksmith, Sid came out and provided excellent service. He was professional, friendly and helpful with my questions. Very reasonable pricing. Highly recommended.

Sid came to the house to fix our lock. He was very professional and honest! We were ready to buy a whole new lock from him & pay for the labor to install it, but he explained it was only a small fix and gave us a great affordable price.

Fantastic service. Just called them at 5:00 on a Friday, Less than 2 hours later the lock is off and we couldn't be happier. Sid, the owner came out and was fast and very polite. The price was very fair and beat every other estimate.

My roommates constantly lose their housekeys, and this place has wonderful staff who are kind and never judgemental of the amount of keys I've had to have made because of this. And it's really close to home so it's well worth it!

Locked out of our house on a Saturday. Sid, the owner, was our locksmith. He got to our home in less than 30 minutes and had us in our house in less than another 5 minutes. Price was very reasonable. Very happy with the service!

We use their service for our Doggy Daycare facility and we will definitely continue to support and highly recommend them. They are very prompt, knowledgeable about their service and so friendly! Pricing is also very reasonable!

The best! I have had keys made, locks re-keyed, locks replaced same afternoon, and a middle of the night emergency call for my senior neighbor who locked herself out. Wonderful neighborhood locksmith. 100% customer satisfaction

Made a key for my jeep patriot 2008 and told me if the key didn't start my car i would not have to pay but that turn out to be a lie. Then i had to end up taking my car to the dealership and get another key program to my car.

Very fast and friendly! He had me in my house less than half an hour after I called. The price is very reasonable as well, he didn't gouge me when I was in a desperate situation. Very highly recommend Sid and his business!!

Locked out of my truck spoke with Sid he came right out very fast. Will for sure be using them again in the future very quick response time and very good rates and friendly techs as well as very knowledgeable locks.

He was super quick to come out and change the locks after my house had been broken into! Super kind, professional and efficient. Had other suggestions to make my home more secure too. Would recommend him to anyone!

WOW! Sid the owner was GREAT! He was on time- VERY ACCOMODATING! Worked me into his schedule and knocked it out in record time. I rarely write reviews, but this one was worth the time! Will NEVER use anyone else!

Both Ashley in the shop and Sid who came to my house were helpful, courteous and friendly. Sid was able to do more than I thought possible at a reasonable price, and it was the price Ashley quoted at the shop.

Got locks. Edit: Nothing was wrong. I was doing a parody of the got milk commercial. My experience was just another day at the office type thing for me. Came in bought a few keys and left, but not bad.

Excellent service, fast and reliable appointment and Sid is quite possibly one of the nicest gentlemen I've met in a long time. I would highly recommend him for any job you have!

I highly recommend this company. They arrived 25 minutes after I called. Instead of replacing my locks he fixed both of them at a considerable cost savings. Good, honest company!

Sid was awesome, he arrived quickly and took care of my locked bedroom door in five minutes. It was a huge relief to have the problem resolved so easily. Very fair rate as well.

Sid is amazing! I’ve used his services a couple times now and he never lets me down. Offering affordable prices as well as quick and efficient work, I wouldn’t use anyone else!

What a lifesaver Jim was. I had called him about a key a couple of weeks ago and I accidentally locked myself out of my Ford explorer apparently this happens often. So worth it

Was at my house in under 20 minutes, and the owner had my car open in moments! Definitely recommend this place! Super nice and the woman on the phone was very helpful as well!
