Q&A

All Of Your Miami Locksmith & Security Questions Answered By Our Professionals.

How Do I Know Whether My Miami Locksmith Is Certified?

Anyone who applies for a locksmith license must have a relevant qualification, submit their fingerprints, and undergo a criminal background check. If the application is approved, they will be issued with a Locksmith ID card, which they are required to display at all times.

When a locksmith arrives at your location, you can ask for this identification card to confirm they are certified. A certification will also ensure that any work that’s performed comes with a complete warranty. Should any incidents occur, you’ll share no liability.

How Long Does It Take for a Locksmith to Arrive?

When you contact the Quickly Locksmith Miami team, you can expect a professional to arrive at your location within 15 minutes. Our aim is to always get you back into your home or on the road again as soon as possible.

Do I Need to Supervise My Locksmith?

When you contact a reputable organization such as Quickly Locksmith Miami, there’s no need to supervise their services. You are free to leave and return once the work is complete. For added peace of mind, we are completely insured, which means that you are covered should any damage occur.

Can a Miami Locksmith Open Any Kind of Lock?

Any Miami locksmith who has enough experience and the right collection of tools can open almost all locks. In the event that they cannot open a lock, they will be able to assist you with a replacement, ensuring your home and valuables are safe once more. There is also the option of rekeying a lock, which is often cheaper than replacing it.

Is an Uncertified Locksmith Still Capable of Getting the Job Done?

An uncertified locksmith may be cheaper, which can be appealing, but this doesn’t mean they’re going to get the job done right. Working with a certified locksmith is always recommended. Not only do they have proven experience, but an in-depth understanding of how to work with reputable security brands too.

With enough research, you may find that a certified locksmith can be just as affordable as hiring someone without the necessary qualifications, so it pays to shop around if you want to save money, time, and hassle in the end.

What Should I Do If I’m Locked Out of My Home or Car?

Discovering you’re locked out of your home or car is stressful, but it’s important not to panic – help is at hand. It’s important not to try and force a door or lock open either as this might cause further damage. Instead, reach out to Quickly Locksmith Miami. We can be at your location in as little as 15 minutes, ensuring you’re not left stranded.

In the event that you’ve lost your keys, a locksmith can help you rekey or replace your locks, ensuring there’s no risk if your keys have fallen into the wrong hands.

Can a Locksmith Make a Key Without the Original?

This is absolutely possible! A certified locksmith is more than capable of creating a new key without having the original on hand.

To achieve this, your locksmith will insert a blank key into the lock and turn the pins inside the lock cylinder. The marks that are left on the blank key will indicate where the key needs to be filed for it to work in that lock.

When Should I Reassess My Home’s Security?

There are a few scenarios that will indicate it’s time to reevaluate your home’s security, including:

  • An increase in crime in your neighborhood.
  • A recent break-in or attempted break-in.
  • An increase in false alarms.
  • Malfunctioning locks, alarms, and cameras.
  • Recent renovations have expanded the size of your home.

The Quickly Locksmith Miami team can assist you with a property assessment and make the necessary recommendations based on our in-depth knowledge of the latest security and crime trends in your area.

    Our Tips For Getting The Best Locksmith Services In Miami FL:

    We truly care about your security. Keeping you, your family and your most valuable possessions safe is why we are in business. However, whenever you are looking to hire a residential locksmith service, here are some valuable tips to make the right choice.

    FAQ

    HOW DO I KNOW WHETHER MY MIAMI LOCKSMITH IS CERTIFIED?
    In Miami-Dade County, licensed locksmiths are issued an official Locksmith ID card after completing the required application process and passing background checks. By law, they must carry and display this card at all times while providing locksmith services, regardless of the location. Always request to see it before any work begins to ensure you’re hiring a certified professional.
    HOW LONG WILL A LOCKSMITH TAKE TO ARRIVE?
    When you call Quickly Locksmith Miami, our team aims to arrive at your exact location within 15 minutes. This rapid response time helps ensure you’re back inside your home, car, or business as quickly and safely as possible.
    WHAT DOES A CERTIFICATION GUARANTEE?
    Hiring a certified Miami locksmith means your service is backed by a full warranty — covering your locks, your property (including doors, hallways, and related areas), and your personal safety. If any issues occur during the job, you hold zero liability, and your locks and security systems are 100% insured for complete peace of mind.
    CAN A MIAMI LOCKSMITH OPEN ALL LOCKS?
    With the right tools and years of experience, a professional locksmith can open almost any lock without causing damage. In rare cases where unlocking isn’t possible, the lock can be safely replaced. Either way, your property and valuables will remain fully secure.
    CAN AN AUTO LOCKSMITH CREATE A SPARE KEY AT MY LOCATION?
    Yes. If you’re locked out or need a spare key, Quickly Locksmith Miami’s mobile unit will come directly to your location. Our technicians can create and program a replacement car key on the spot, saving you the hassle of arranging transportation to a locksmith shop.
    DO I NEED THE ORIGINAL KEY TO MAKE A KEY COPY?
    Not necessarily. If your original key is lost or damaged, a certified Miami locksmith can use a code cutter to read the lock’s unique key code and determine the correct groove depths. This precise information allows us to create a brand-new key without needing the original.
    ARE YOU AVAILABLE 24/7 FOR EMERGENCIES?
    Yes. Quickly Locksmith Miami operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — including nights, weekends, and holidays. No matter when you’re locked out or facing a security issue, our team is ready to respond immediately.
    HOW MUCH DOES A LOCKSMITH SERVICE COST IN MIAMI?
    Costs depend on the service type, lock complexity, and time of day. We provide upfront, transparent quotes before starting any job, so there are no hidden fees or surprises. Emergency services may have additional charges for after-hours calls.
    CAN YOU REKEY LOCKS INSTEAD OF REPLACING THEM?
    Yes. Rekeying allows you to keep your existing locks while changing the internal pins so old keys no longer work. It’s a cost-effective security upgrade often used after moving, losing keys, or changing tenants or employees.
    DO YOU INSTALL SMART LOCKS AND HIGH-SECURITY SYSTEMS?
    Absolutely. We install a wide range of smart locks, high-security deadbolts, and advanced access control systems for homes, businesses, and vehicles. Our experts can recommend the best solution based on your security needs and budget.
    CAN YOU MAKE KEYS FOR HIGH-SECURITY OR RESTRICTED LOCKS?
    Yes. We have the tools and authorization to cut and program keys for many high-security and restricted lock systems. Some models require proof of ownership or manufacturer authorization, which we’ll guide you through before starting the work.
    WHAT AREAS OF MIAMI DO YOU SERVICE?
    Quickly Locksmith Miami covers all of Miami-Dade County, including Downtown Miami, Wynwood, Miami Beach, Coral Gables, Brickell, Aventura, Kendall, and surrounding neighborhoods. Our mobile units allow us to reach you quickly anywhere in the area.
    CAN YOU HELP WITH BROKEN KEYS STUCK IN LOCKS?
    Yes. Our locksmiths use specialized extraction tools to remove broken keys without damaging the lock. If necessary, we can also cut you a new key or rekey the lock during the same visit.
    DO YOU OFFER COMMERCIAL LOCKSMITH SERVICES?
    Absolutely. We provide a full range of commercial services, including master key systems, high-security locks, access control, panic bars, and storefront door repair. We work with offices, retail stores, warehouses, and property managers across Miami.
    HOW CAN I IMPROVE MY HOME OR BUSINESS SECURITY?
    We recommend starting with a security audit to identify vulnerabilities. This may include upgrading to high-security locks, adding deadbolts, installing smart locks, reinforcing entry doors, and securing windows. We provide tailored recommendations based on your property and budget.
