Richard's Locksmith and Safes
Richard's Locksmith and Safes is a locksmith and safe company working out of a storefront at 10412 W. Sample Road in Coral Springs, and the site dates the business to 1969, describing over 56 years serving the Coral Springs community. The company covers four sides of the trade from that one location. Residential work includes lock rekeying, lock installation and repair, deadbolts, knob locks, lever-handle locks, mortise locks, electronic and high-security lock systems, smart lock installation and setup, home lockout assistance and break-in repair. Automotive work includes car lockouts, car key replacement for most makes and models, transponder, proximity, smart key and remote fob programming, key duplication, ignition repair and replacement, door lock actuator repair and broken key extraction, handled by mobile technicians who travel to the vehicle. Commercial work covers access control systems with keypads, card readers and biometric entry, master key systems, high-security and electronic locks, office rekeying and security consulting. Safe work covers installation, opening, repair, electronic lock upgrades and relocation for home safes, gun safes and commercial safes. The company describes its locksmiths as certified, and says it has maintained full licensing, bonding and insurance for over 56 years. Its own site headline warns customers to beware of scammers and use a trusted locksmith, pointing to its permanent brick-and-mortar address as the difference from unmarked-van operations. Emergency lockout work is offered during the posted hours of operation rather than around the clock, and the site says the team typically reaches emergency lockouts in Coral Springs and nearby areas within 20 to 30 minutes. Pricing is quoted before the work starts, and published ranges include $75 to $150 to rekey locks and $150 to $350 for transponder and smart car keys.
