Fast Car Lockout Services
Car lockouts are one of those most frequently encountered emergencies for vehicle owners. You might accidentally lock your keys inside your car, misplace your keys altogether, or have problems with electronic locks that refuse to open when you need access. This can occur anywhere: in your house, at work, shopping malls, and even when traveling to a new site.

We employ expert equipment for unlock jobs that are specifically designed for autos. This ensures that we unlock your vehicle carefully without damaging paint jobs, windows, door seals, and/or weather stripping.
The latest autos come equipped with more complex security systems using special knowledge to access without setting off warning systems or compromising electronic circuitry. Our professionals keep up with current training regarding state-of-the-art security systems available for autos and feel comfortable with any make and model of autos available in America: Chevrolet, Ford, GMC, Jeep. Additionally included among foreign autos are Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Mazda, Subaru, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volvo, Volkswagen.
Our mobile unit means we come to where your car is in the Jacksonville area.

This means no costly tow truck services but instead getting back in your vehicle and back on the road as soon as possible.
Car Key Replacement Services
Having lost, stolen, or severely damaged car keys can be a huge problem that needs expert replacement. Today’s automobile keys are far more advanced than a simple piece of cut metal. They contain a number of complex electronic elements such as a transponder chip and a number of other sophisticated electronics.
My Florida Locksmith offers a comprehensive car key replacement service for any type of key and for any model of a vehicle. In older cars that use conventional metal keys with no electronics in them, we can reproduce exact duplicates right in our shop using expert key cutting equipment. However, in most late-model cars made after the mid-1990s, automobile ignition keys embed a transponder chip that needs to be properly coded for your particular vehicle’s immobilizer system. While such transponder keys will turn in your ignition cylinder, without correct immobilizer coding, your car will not start.
Key Fobs contain physical key blades integrated with electronic lock functions such as lock, unlock, trunk release, and alarm. Smart Keys & Proximity Keys feature Radio Frequency Identification technology that gives you access and allows you to start your vehicle without extracting the key out of your pocket. All these types of keys necessitate various replacement methods and equipment, which My Florida Locksmith retains and upgrades.
In cases where a customer loses all of their keys but does not have a spare and usable key available for duplication, we can still help. We can obtain access to manufacturers’ key code listings or can decode the lock cylinder off your vehicle to identify a correct key configuration. This integrated strategy gives a customer several alternatives for any situation with their keys.
The replacement keys we give work in a similar manner to original factory keys. They seamlessly operate locks, turn the engine with ease, and access various other functions. We test our new replacement key before finishing our service.
Car Key Duplication for Backup Security
Using one key for your vehicle can be a risk that needs to be prevented. Using one key for your vehicle when spare keys can be made may lead to a lost key situation. Lost key situations often arise when one loses their only key. Additionally, a lost key may be a target for thieves. Emergency replacement of a lost key may be costly.
My Florida Locksmith offers expert car key duplication for any type of key. Car key duplication for conventional metal keys can be done easily and cheaply. Car key duplication for transponder keys, key fobs, and smart keys requires programming a new key to be compatible with a user’s security system in a vehicle. This requires efficient use of manufacturer-specific diagnostic equipment.
Having duplicate keys made ahead of time—before a problem develops—is often quicker and more economical than when a house key breakage resulted in a lost key. We recommend storing your spare house keys in a secure place other than where your main house key is. You might consider storing one spare house key in a secure cabinet or safe in your residence and perhaps another with a trusted family member.
In cases where a household has more than one driver, additional keys reduce the hassle of using one key among several individuals. This ensures that each one gets access to use the vehicle.
Professional Car Key Fob Programming
Key fobs have delicate electronic circuits that might fail due to several factors such as immersion in water, dropping/falling down, and gradual deterioration. While dead batteries are typically associated with faulty key fobs and are simple to replace when dead, any damage to the circuitry would necessitate expert servicing and/or replacement of the fob.
My Florida Locksmith provides effective key fob programming for various brands and models. We use our expertise to program a new key fob for replacement purposes when existing fobs are faulty. We also provide additional key fob programming for a backup remote. Additionally, our professionals reprogram a key fob when it loses connection with your car’s security system.
We employ certified technicians who use manufacturer-specific equipment that directly hooks up to your vehicle’s computer system. This gives us access to your security programming interface in order to register your new fobs. This procedure takes 15 to 30 minutes for each fob. This time may vary depending on your specific vehicle.
After this process has taken place, we then test all functions of a key fob to ensure everything operates as expected. This includes lock functions, unlock functions, trunk release functions, alarm functions, and any other function available with a key fob. This ensures any lost key fobs no longer have access to your vehicle.
Car Rekeying for Improved Security
Vehicle rekeying refersra to changing the lock cylinder of your vehicle such that your existing keys cannot open the locks but instead give you new keys that can. This process becomes a critical requirement in various situations relating to security that owners of cars in Jacksonville may encounter.
In cases where one loses their house keys and fears that someone might access the house using those lost keys for break-ins and/or steal their vehicle when found, rekeying eradicates such a risk altogether because one would no longer need the lost house keys. In cases where one purchases a used vehicle without rekeying being involved, rekeying gives one a comforting feeling because one would be assured that no one would be in possession of one’s house keys due to previous purchases for access to one’s vehicle.
Rekeying is more economical when compared to changing locks completely. This service can be done for locks used for doors, trunk locks, and ignition locks. For cars fitted with electronic security systems, we reprogram the immobilizer to recognize only our new keys while rejecting any previous keys.
My Florida Locksmith offers rekeying tasks as a mobile locksmith service in Jacksonville. My Florida Locksmith locksmiths come to where you are with everything we need to rekey any automobile. This means we save your time and money with no tow truck charges.
Ignition Change & Repair Services
Problems with ignition locks may make your car impossible to start even when you have fully functional locks in your possession. The most common problems associated with ignition locks include faulty tumblers that have a tendency to make lock-turning impossible using a key, failure of the lock to open when someone turns off the engine using a key, breakage of a key inside the lock due to old age and/or force, and total lock failure.
My Florida Locksmith offers a wide range of ignition repairs such as diagnosis, repair, rekeying, and replacement. In cases where a key breaks off in the ignition lock, we possess equipment to carefully extract the broken piece without damaging the lock cylinder while cutting a new key for you. In cases where the lock cylinder appears old but has not failed entirely, we may repair it by replacing its old parts.
We handle everything when a full replacement of your ignition system becomes a mandatory requirement because we undertake everything right from removing your old ignition cylinder for replacement with a new one and configuring this new unit to operate in conjunction with your vehicle keys. Even when dealing with today’s sophisticated vehicles fitted with electronic ignition systems and push-start systems, we possess the requisite equipment for diagnosing and repairing this complex system.
Repair of the ignition requires skilled hands because of its integration with other major systems within the vehicle such as the locking mechanism for the steering. Any fixing attempted by a layman may lead to further damage to your vehicle until it becomes impossible to use altogether.
