Pompano Beach Mobile Locksmith — Questions & Answers

Yes — 24 hours a day, every day of the year, holidays included. Call or text (954) 906-3733 at any hour.

Yes, from $95 — priced like a lockout. Salt air makes pins stiff near the beach, which is a common reason keys snap. David E. removes the piece and, if the cylinder is corroded, swaps it for one with a finish made for the coast.

We do, as "Pompano Beach Mobile Locksmith." No out-of-state dispatcher takes the call. If a number you found for us is answered with only "locksmith," call (954) 906-3733 again.

Yes: tenant-turnover rekeys, keypad code changes between guests, master-key systems, and condo units keyed into the association master once the board signs off in writing. Each job is billed separately at list prices.

Any address that is legally in Pompano Beach, across 33060, 33062, 33064 and 33069. The same four ZIPs also reach into next-door towns, so a street name on the call is how we confirm you're on our side of the line.

Give us the street and we'll check it before driving. The usual mix-ups are Lighthouse Point to the north and Hillsboro Beach across the inlet, which share 33064 and 33062 with parts of Pompano but run their own town halls. Our home page shows where the city stops.

No. Home lockouts begin at $95 and cars at $89, at 2 a.m. or at noon. Everything is on the prices page.

About 20 minutes is normal for any address inside Pompano Beach, and David E. tells you the actual time before hanging up. He's based here and serves no other city, so he isn't crossing the county to reach you.

When the job is finished and tested, not before; we never take deposits or point anyone to an ATM. Cash, Zelle, Apple Pay, Google Pay and every major card are fine, and an itemized invoice follows by text or email.

You owe us nothing, not even for the drive. Same if the lock can only be beaten by drilling and you say no: no charge for trying. And calling it off before David E. arrives is free.

Government ID with this address on it. If yours shows another address, your lease, deed or a utility bill for the home works. Locked inside? We check it the moment the door opens.

Your ID plus a document tying you to the car — its registration, title or the rental agreement, with matching names.

Yes — licensed & insured. The license is our City of Pompano Beach Business Tax Receipt; the insurance is a commercial general liability policy, and any building or manager can request the certificate.

No. With HB 735 in force since July 1, 2021, the county neither licenses locksmiths nor registers their companies (Broward County), and Florida has never issued a statewide locksmith license. What a Broward locksmith can show is a city or county business tax receipt and proof of insurance. The full checklist is in how to vet a locksmith.

Yes, for half a year on our labor: anything we fitted or repaired that stops behaving in that time gets fixed free on a return trip. New locks bring the maker's warranty as well.

Two come with every rekey or new lock. Spares are $5 apiece, and he cuts them before he leaves.

Often the condo documents require it (Siegfried Rivera). When we rekey or change your lock, we can cut the association's copy during the same visit.

Not to keep a tenant out — Florida law forbids that (F.S. 83.67). We rekey after move-out, between tenants, or for a repair.

Yes, if someone you authorize in writing — a manager, the neighbor across the hall or a cleaner — meets us and signs off. Text us their name before the visit; they settle the invoice on site after testing.

Yes. The host vouches for the stay with a text or call, and the guest's photo ID has to match the reservation name before the door opens. Same price at 1 a.m. as at 1 p.m.

Yes. Tell us the lot, the row or level, and the car's color; see car lockout.

Sí. Say "español" when we pick up, or open the Spanish FAQ.

No. It's one Pompano Beach business with David E. as lead technician, and there's no dispatch center. Questions in writing go to david@pompanobeachmobilelocksmith.com.
