Frequently asked questions
How quickly can Mike Locksmiths reach me for a lockout in Palm Valley?
Response times vary based on the technician's current position and traffic conditions, but our dispatch team will give you a realistic arrival estimate the moment you call (904) 529-0398. We operate 24/7 across Palm Valley and the surrounding St. Johns County area, so there's always someone available — not just during business hours.
What is a locksmith call-out fee, and do you charge one separately?
A call-out fee covers the cost of dispatching and traveling to your location. At Mike Locksmiths, we don't itemize it as a separate line on your bill — it's factored into the single confirmed quote we give you before any work begins. The quote accounts for your location within the Palm Valley area, the time of day, and the type of lock or vehicle involved.
Can a locksmith reprogram my key fob during a car lockout service call?
In many cases, yes. Our technicians carry equipment for basic key fob and transponder key programming on a wide range of domestic and foreign vehicles. If your car's immobilizer system requires specialized dealer-only programming tools, we'll tell you that upfront rather than attempt something outside our equipment capability. Either way, you'll know before any charges apply.
How much does a local locksmith charge for a home lockout service?
There's no single answer that applies to every situation, which is why we don't publish flat rates. The final price depends on your specific lock type (a standard door knob lock versus a mortise lock, for example), the time of day, how far our technician is traveling, and whether any hardware needs to be replaced. Call (904) 529-0398 and our dispatch team will confirm an exact price in about 60 seconds based on your actual situation.
Do you handle commercial lockouts, or only residential?
Both. Our technicians handle everything from house lockout service calls for homeowners to commercial storefronts, office buildings, and multi-unit properties across Palm Valley and St. Johns County. Commercial entries often use mortise lock hardware, panic bars, or electronic access systems — our team is experienced with all of these and can respond 24/7 for business-critical situations.
What's the difference between a mortise lock lockout and a standard deadbolt lockout?
A mortise lock is a multi-function lock body that sits inside the door itself — it typically controls both a latch and a deadbolt through a single integrated mechanism. It requires different tools and techniques than a surface-mounted deadbolt or door knob lock. Mortise locks are common in older homes, high-end custom builds, and commercial properties throughout St. Johns County. Because they're set into the door edge, an inexperienced attempt to open one can damage the door frame permanently. Our technicians are trained specifically on mortise lock entry, so the right approach is used from the start.
