High Quality Locksmith of Tallahassee
High Quality Locksmith of Tallahassee is a professional locksmith service covering residential, commercial, automotive and motorcycle work across Tallahassee. The company calls itself a rekey specialist, and house rekeying is a core part of its residential work, establishing a new key for a home and rendering old keys useless for new homebuyers, new tenants and anyone dealing with a security concern. It also swaps out lock hardware entirely when a homeowner wants different equipment, and supplies home safes and residential hardware. On the automotive side the shop produces all three basic key types: standard keys with or without a transponder chip, high security laser cut keys, and proximity fobs. It originates keys when every existing key is lost, programs transponder chips into the vehicle ECU, and programs remote head keys and wireless proximity remotes. Commercial customers get standard rekeying, lock installation, door closures, access control equipment, code locks and exit devices known as panic bars, plus restricted key systems that the company is licensed to cut under two separate restricted key patterns. Motorcycle, ATV and boat key work is handled with a technician sent to the vehicle rather than requiring the bike be brought in. Emergency lockout work for cars, homes and businesses runs 24 hours, and technicians arrive with a van full of equipment. Credentials include membership in ALOA Security Professionals, registration with the National Automotive Service Task Force as a Registered Vehicle Security Professional, a total bond amount of $30,000 across two bonds, top grade liability insurance with documentation available on request, and membership in both the Tallahassee Chamber of Commerce and the Tallahassee Board of Realtors. Published rates cover lockout and service call charges by time of day, with a $130 per hour labor rate on top, and the company notes those rates are negotiable.

FAQs
Do you handle emergency lockouts at night?
Yes. High Quality Locksmith describes itself as a 24 hour emergency locksmith, and its published telephone number is answered 24 hours. The company states its technicians will respond regardless of the time, date, location or weather, whether you are locked out of your car, your house or your place of business.
What does a service call cost?
The company publishes its rates by time of day. A lockout or service call between 9:00 am and 6:00 pm is listed at $79 to $85, 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm at $235, and 2:01 am to 6:59 am at $600, with other bands in between. The labor rate is $130 per hour in addition to any service call charge. The company notes these rates are not set in stone and are negotiable.
Can you rekey my house instead of replacing the locks?
Yes. House rekeying establishes a new key for the house and renders other keys useless, which the company describes as one of the most important types of residential locksmith work. It suits new homebuyers, new tenants and anyone dealing with a security issue. Replacing the hardware outright is also available if you want different locks.
Can you make a car key if I have lost every key?
Yes. The company originates keys, meaning it cuts a key for a vehicle when there are no keys to copy from, which it describes as the mark of an automotive locksmith. It works with standard keys, high security laser cut keys and proximity fobs, and programs transponder chips and remotes.
Do you work on motorcycles and other powersports vehicles?
Yes. The company originates keys for most motorcycles including Honda, Kawasaki and Yamaha, and the same applies to ATV and boat keys. A technician is sent to the vehicle rather than requiring the bike be brought to a shop, and this work can be done after hours and on weekends as necessary.
What commercial locksmith work do you do?
Commercial service covers standard rekeying, lock installation, door closures, access control equipment, code locks and exit devices known as panic bars, along with other commercial hardware and locking devices. The company also sells and services restricted key systems and holds two different licenses for restricted key patterns.
What are restricted key systems and why would a business want one?
Restricted key systems use a specific key pattern licensed to selected professional locksmiths. Because an unauthorized person cannot readily copy a restricted key, a business can be confident no unauthorized keys exist for its locks, which matters where employee turnover is frequent.
What credentials does the company hold?
High Quality Locksmith lists membership in ALOA Security Professionals, registration with the National Automotive Service Task Force as a Registered Vehicle Security Professional, two bonds totalling $30,000, top grade liability insurance with documentation available on request, and membership in the Tallahassee Chamber of Commerce and the Tallahassee Board of Realtors.
