Our House & Apartment Lockout Service: What Actually Happens When We Arrive
When you call All Points Locksmith for a home lockout service, here's what you can expect — not a vague promise, but a real process. A trained technician is dispatched from within St. Johns County, arriving at your location with a fully stocked mobile unit. Before any work begins, we verify that you are the resident or authorized occupant — this is a non-negotiable step that protects everyone. We'll ask for a photo ID and may cross-reference your name with a lease, utility bill, or property record. Once ownership is confirmed, we assess the lock type on your door.
For most residential doors — whether it's a Kwikset deadbolt paired with a door knob lock, a Schlage single-cylinder, or a traditional mortise lock set into an older wooden door frame — our skilled technicians use professional picking and bypass tools that open the lock without damaging the cylinder, the door, or the frame. If a lock is so worn, frozen, or damaged that non-destructive entry isn't possible, we'll explain exactly why before we take any further steps. You always know what's happening and why. No surprises, no hidden decisions made behind your back.
Mortise Lock Lockouts and Specialty Residential Hardware in St. Johns County
Not every home lockout is a simple deadbolt job. Older homes in neighborhoods like Switzerland, Fruit Cove, and along the historic stretches of SR-13 often feature full mortise lock assemblies — a more complex mechanism where the lock body is recessed into the door itself, controlling both the latch and the deadbolt in one unit. These locks require a different skill set than a standard pin-tumbler deadbolt, and forcing them incorrectly can damage the door stile, the strike plate, and the mortise pocket itself, running up repair costs that far exceed the cost of a proper lockout call.
Our technicians are experienced specifically with mortise lock hardware and carry the appropriate tools to manipulate them without destruction. Whether your mortise lock is an older Baldwin, a Marks, or an unbranded unit common in 1970s and 1980s St. Johns County construction, we approach it with the same methodical, damage-free technique. If the lock itself is the reason you're locked out — a broken tailpiece, a snapped cam, or a worn cylinder — we can discuss repair or replacement on the spot, with parts and pricing explained clearly before any work proceeds.
Emergency Locksmith Response: When You're Locked Out After Hours
A lockout doesn't schedule itself for business hours. It happens at 2 a.m. after a long shift at Flagler Health+, during a downpour on a Saturday afternoon, or right when you're trying to let a family member in before a storm rolls off the Atlantic. All Points Locksmith operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — including holidays — because St. Johns County residents don't stop needing help when the sun goes down.
As a fully mobile emergency locksmith service, we come to you — your apartment complex off Race Track Road, your vacation rental near St. Augustine Beach, your townhome in Palencia. There is no storefront you have to reach; we dispatch to your exact address. When you call (904) 478-1963, a real person answers, collects your location and lock details, and gets a technician moving in your direction. Response times vary based on your location and current demand, but we will always give you an honest estimate of arrival time when you call — never a vague "we'll be there soon."

Frequently asked questions
Is there a locksmith in St. Johns, Florida who comes to me — or do I have to go to a shop?
All Points Locksmith is a fully mobile operation serving all of St. Johns County, FL. There is no shop to visit — we dispatch a trained technician directly to your address, whether that's a home in St. Johns, an apartment in Ponte Vedra, a rental in Hastings, or anywhere in between. When you call (904) 478-1963, we get someone moving toward your location.
How much does a locksmith cost in Florida — and what determines my quote?
There is no single flat rate for locksmith work in Florida because several real factors affect the final price: the type of lock on your door (a standard door knob lock costs less to open than a full mortise lock assembly), the time of day (after-hours and weekend calls involve different logistics), your distance from our current dispatch location, and whether any parts — cylinders, keys, or hardware — are needed. What we commit to is this: before any work begins, we give you an exact confirmed price. You approve it first. No surprise charges appear on the bill afterward.
What is a locksmith call-out fee, and does All Points Locksmith charge one?
A call-out fee — sometimes called a service fee or dispatch fee — is a base charge that covers the cost of sending a technician to your location, separate from the labor and parts involved in the actual job. Many locksmith services charge this fee. At All Points Locksmith, we explain all applicable fees when you call so you understand the full picture before we arrive. The factors that influence your total — lock type, time of day, travel distance, and parts — are all discussed up front, and you receive one confirmed price before we start work.
I'm locked out right now — what should I do before calling a locksmith?
First, stay calm and stay safe — especially if it's late at night or the weather is poor in St. Johns County. Before calling, do a quick, safe check: is there a spare key with a neighbor, family member, or your property manager? Is a back door, garage entry door, or ground-floor window already unlocked (and safely accessible without climbing)? If you're a renter, does your landlord or leasing office have emergency contact hours? If none of those options are available, do not attempt to force the lock or use improvised tools — you risk damaging the lock, the door frame, or injuring yourself. Call (904) 478-1963 and our trained technicians will handle it correctly and without damage wherever possible.
I need to rekey my home after a lockout — can you do that the same visit?
Yes. Rekeying is one of the most common follow-up requests after a lockout, especially if you've lost your keys rather than just forgotten them inside. Rekeying changes the internal pin configuration of your existing lock so that only a new key works — your old key, and any copies of it, become useless. It's more cost-effective than replacing the entire lock in most cases. Our technicians carry rekeying equipment for common residential hardware brands and can rekey your deadbolts, door knob locks, and in many cases your mortise lock cylinders in the same appointment.
I need a locksmith for my business in St. Johns County — do you handle commercial properties too?
We do. While this page focuses on residential house and apartment lockout service, All Points Locksmith also provides commercial locksmith work for offices, retail units, warehouses, and multi-unit rental properties throughout St. Johns County. Commercial jobs often involve different hardware — higher-security cylinders, panic bars, keypad access systems, or master key systems — and our experienced technicians are equipped for those situations as well. Call (904) 478-1963 to describe your commercial property and lock type, and we'll confirm that we're the right fit before dispatching.
