Editorial Review

Our Take on Caraballo Locksmith

Caraballo is a real Calle Ocho shop with deep reviews and bilingual crews, which counts for a lot in this city. Ask for part and labour prices separately, because the one sharp recent complaint was about a replacement lock priced well above retail.

    My door lock was not working properly and needed replacement. The guy said that to replace it, it would be $95 for the new lock plus $25 for labor totaling $120. After he left I searched online for the lock he installed and it was $15. It was an absolute rip-off.

    Great service and accuracy. After attempting to obtain replacement keys at two different locations, I went to Caraballo Key Shop and as there motto states “con Caraballo No Hay Fallo” their replacement keys worked perfectly.

Company Background

About Caraballo Locksmith

Caraballo Locksmith sits on Calle Ocho at 1270 SW 8th Street in Little Havana, in a storefront with key blanks, hardware and safes on display, and that makes it one of the few big Miami locksmith names you can actually walk into. The company says it has served Miami since 2009 and that its listed address is both a shop and the base for mobile crews. Google shows 4.7 stars from 1,018 reviews, read October 29, 2026.

The work is divided into three teams. The residential team handles home lockouts, rekeying, deadbolt installation, smart lock setup, multi-point lock repair and security upgrades. The commercial team does master key systems, access control, panic hardware and storefront locks, and the site has guides for restaurants, warehouses and offices. The automotive team covers car lockouts, transponder keys and fobs. The company also sells and opens safes. It serves Miami-Dade and Broward, and its site has separate pages for neighborhoods such as Little Havana, Brickell, Coconut Grove, Wynwood, Edgewater, Flagami and Midtown.

Reviewers mention speed and language. Leandra wrote that the crew arrived fast after a lockout in Little Havana, Ramon thanked the company for opening a door at 10:30 at night in Brickell, and Martha praised an emergency call in Wynwood. Adam said replacement keys cut here worked after two other shops had failed. The sharpest complaint in the recent batch came from Juliana on October 20, who said a lock quoted at $95 plus $25 labour turned out to be a part she found online for about $15. It is one review among 1,018, but it is the reason to ask for the part price and labour separately.

The company says its technicians are vetted, bonded and insured and arrive with company identification. It gives upfront pricing before work and an itemized invoice afterward, and says emergency calls average 20 to 30 minutes. It does not state a licence number or name its staff. The 24/7 line is for mobile calls: the site lists shop hours as Monday to Friday 8 to 6 and Saturday 9 to 4.

It suits Little Havana and Brickell residents who want a bilingual crew and a shop to visit for keys and hardware. It suits less well anyone who wants a named technician or a published licence. Ask for the quote in writing, the part and labour prices separately, a technician ID and the warranty, and check the business on Florida's Sunbiz registry.

Caraballo Locksmith FAQs

  • Is Caraballo Locksmith licensed in Miami?

    The company says its technicians are vetted, bonded and insured, but it does not publish a licence number. Florida has no state locksmith licence and Miami-Dade County stopped issuing locksmith licences on July 1, 2025, so ask for photo ID, proof of insurance and a written quote, and check the business on the Florida Sunbiz registry.

  • Is Caraballo Locksmith open 24 hours?

    Its emergency mobile service runs 24 hours a day, including holidays, but the shop does not. The site lists shop hours as Monday to Friday 8 to 6 and Saturday 9 to 4 at 1270 SW 8th St, so call ahead before driving over for keys or hardware.

  • What areas of Miami does Caraballo Locksmith cover?

    It serves Miami-Dade and Broward counties, with neighborhood pages for Little Havana, Brickell, Coconut Grove, Wynwood, Edgewater, Flagami, Midtown and Downtown Miami. The company says average emergency response is 20 to 30 minutes, though it does not guarantee a fixed arrival time.

  • Is Caraballo Locksmith 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 Caraballo Locksmith serve?

    Miami. 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 Caraballo Locksmith 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.
