Company Background
About Mr. Lock & Key
Mr. Lock & Key describes itself as an in-store and mobile locksmith in Tampa, and the Google listing puts the store at 5700 Memorial Highway, unit 115, in the Town 'N' Country Alliance area. Photos on its Google profile show a small service office with display cases of brass deadbolts and a workbench strewn with rekeying tools, and one image shows a technician working beside a customer's SUV.
The website lists automotive, commercial, residential and emergency locksmith services, with a long set of pages for individual car makes. Mr. Lock & Key says its technicians are licensed, insured and experienced and its vans are equipped to reach customers within minutes, though it does not publish licence numbers, a founding year or a staff list, so those claims are the company's own.
Reviews carry the case. Mr. Lock & Key holds 5.0 from 200 Google reviews, read October 29, 2026, and the owner replies to reviews personally. Reviewers name Noam: one got a new car key in 20 minutes at a price they called fair, another had him open a hard storage lock without damaging the shutter door, and a family new to Tampa had locks rekeyed and a keypad reset after a quote they called upfront and honest. A reviewer also notes he booked a same-day appointment.
The practical limits are the hours and the size. Friday closes at 3 PM, Saturday is closed on Google, and 200 reviews is a smaller base than the larger Tampa operations, so a handful of one-star reviews could move the rating quickly. There is also a second Google listing for the brand on North Dale Mabry Highway with a different phone number, so confirm which location you are calling.
This company suits homeowners rekeying after a move and drivers who need a key made at a fair price. It suits less well anyone needing a Saturday lockout. Ask for a written quote, whether the lockout will be non-destructive, the warranty on parts and labour, and for ID from the technician. 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.

Mr. Lock & Key FAQs
Is Mr. Lock & 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 technicians are licensed and insured but publishes no number. Ask for ID, a written quote and the local business tax receipt before work starts.
What are Mr. Lock & Key's hours in Tampa?
Google lists 9 AM to 9 PM Monday through Thursday and Sunday, 9 AM to 3 PM on Friday and closed on Saturday. The store is at 5700 Memorial Highway, unit 115, and the number is (813) 940-5050. The company also advertises mobile service, so call to confirm an arrival time for a lockout.
Can Mr. Lock & Key rekey the locks on a house I just bought in Tampa?
Yes, a reviewer who was new to Tampa had locks rekeyed, locks changed and a door keypad reset, and called the quote upfront and fair. Ask for the price per cylinder, whether new keys are included and whether the work has a warranty before the technician starts.

Warranty terms are not on file. Ask for them in writing before work starts.
How was this profile built?

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.
