    Very Professional, came to me quickly, worked very quickly, and even came back to help when I had an issue (my fault not his) with a smile on his face! I’ll definitely use him again if I ever lose my key again! His kindness is why we will always call him from here on out!

    When the key fob for my 2018 Mercedes GLC stopped working, I called America’s Lock and Key in Tampa and they came through right away. The locksmith showed up fast, reprogrammed the fob on-site, and had me back on the road in no time. It was a smooth, hassle-free experience and exactly the kind of service you hope for in an emergency. For anyone in the Tampa Bay area looking for Mercedes key fob programming, mobile locksmith service, or car key replacement, this company is the real deal. Quick response, fair prices, and professional service—definitely worthy of five stars. Save his contact info on speed dial!!

Company Background

About America's Lock and Key

America's Lock and Key works from suite 503 at 3825 Henderson Boulevard, in the Palma Ceia West area of Tampa. Photos on its Google profile show a staffed counter with lock displays behind it, and the website describes the company as locally owned and operated, with licensed and insured staff and customer service answering around the clock.

The service list is wide. America's Lock and Key handles lockouts for houses, cars, trunks, RVs and businesses, car key replacement and key fob programming, ignition repair, home rekeying and lock replacement, keyless entry, master key systems, and safe or file cabinet opening. It promises a maximum emergency response of 15 to 30 minutes and offers 10 percent off locksmith work in Tampa.

America's Lock and Key holds 4.7 from 334 Google reviews, read October 29, 2026. Praise centers on speed and honest pricing, with reviewers describing a Mercedes GLC key fob reprogrammed at the curb and a file cabinet opened after its key had been missing for two years. The company is among the lower rated shops on this list, and its low reviews are specific: one driver says nobody answered the phone and the building was closed despite the 24 hour listing, and the owner replied that unusually high demand that day caused the missed calls. A one-star review alleging a $650 drilling charge was disputed by the owner as a mix-up with another company, so ask for a quote and an invoice.

This company suits drivers who need key fob programming, tenants locked out of a home and offices that need a cabinet or desk lock opened. It suits less well anyone who expects a staffed walk-in counter at all hours, since the suite is an office and calls come first. Ask for a written quote before dispatch, whether the lockout will be done without drilling, what warranty covers new keys, and the technician's ID. Florida has no state locksmith licence and Hillsborough County follows state preemption, so ask for ID, a written quote and the local business tax receipt.

America's Lock and Key FAQs

  • Is America's Lock and Key licensed in Tampa?

    Florida has no state locksmith licence, and Hillsborough County follows state preemption, so there is no licence to look up. The company says its staff are licensed and insured but publishes no number. Ask for ID, a written quote and the local business tax receipt before work starts.

  • Is America's Lock and Key really open 24 hours?

    Google lists it as open 24 hours every day and the site says customer service answers around the clock, but one reviewer reported unanswered calls and a closed office on a busy day, and the owner blamed unusually high demand. Call (813) 774-3665 and get a technician and an arrival time confirmed before you rely on it.

  • Can America's Lock and Key reprogram a car key fob on site?

    Reviewers say yes, describing a Mercedes GLC fob reprogrammed on site within a short time, and its site lists key fob programming and replacement and ignition repair. Ask for the price and the make and model compatibility before dispatch, because some brands require dealer-locked key data.

  • Is America's Lock and Key licensed and insured?

    We checked 0 of 1 credentials against the issuing authority. Verified items carry the date we checked; reported items are what the business told us and we could not independently confirm.

  • What areas does America's Lock and Key serve?

    Tampa. Coverage is as the business describes it, cross-checked against where its recent documented work is. Confirm your address before scheduling, particularly at the edge of a service area.

  • Does America's Lock and Key offer emergency service?

    Yes, the company lists emergency availability. Response time depends on demand, and after a storm every company in the market is stretched.

  • What warranty do they offer?

    Warranty terms are not on file. Ask for them in writing before work starts.

  • How was this profile built?

    Credentials come from issuing authorities, ratings from the company's Google Business Profile with the date we read them, and the editorial take from our own review of estimates, warranty documents and public feedback. Anything the business told us is labelled as reported.

  • Can a business pay to improve its profile?

    A business can subscribe to manage its own listing details, and it can buy a labelled sponsored placement. Neither changes a ranking position or the editorial assessment on this page.
