    Excellent service! My key fob went missing at Universal Studios. I had a new car with dealer-only software, so I was out of luck. Everyone in the area turned me down, reference locksmith showed up and made a key on the spot. Wonderful person to work with! Highly recommended!

Company Background

About Reference Locksmith

Reference Locksmith presents itself as a family-owned, locally run Orlando locksmith with no dispatch call centre, and says callers speak directly to the technician who will do the work. Its listed address is 2158 Turmeric Ave in the 32837 area of south Orlando. The website describes mobile service across Orlando, Kissimmee, Ocoee and Apopka, and no shopfront is shown, so treat it as a mobile operation.

Automotive work leads: key replacement, fobs and smart keys programmed at the vehicle, for all makes. The site also offers emergency lockouts, residential lock installation and rekeying, deadbolts, smart locks and high-security locks, plus commercial master key systems and access control. It promises fixed upfront pricing, says it is licensed and insured, and lists 24-hour availability, matching the Google profile.

Reviews read on 29 October 2026 are short and consistent on speed. Otto is named in the recent ones, including a driver who had two keys made and the car running quickly, and a visitor whose key fob went missing at Universal Studios after other locksmiths turned the job down. A reviewer quoted on the company website said Otto saved over 200 dollars by explaining an option no other company had mentioned. Reference Locksmith holds 5.0 from 132 Google reviews, read 29 October 2026.

The review base is smaller than most companies in this list, and the website shows 123 reviews against Google's 132, a timing difference rather than a conflict. The site does not say how long the company has operated, who owns it by name or what licence it holds.

Reference Locksmith suits drivers who want a car key made on the spot and homeowners who like a quoted price they can hold the technician to. It suits less well anyone who needs a company with a long public record or a physical shop to visit. Before booking, ask for the price in writing, ask for photo ID and a marked vehicle, ask whether entry will be non-destructive, and ask about warranty on parts and labour. Florida has no state locksmith licence, so ask for the local business tax receipt.

Reference Locksmith FAQs

  • Is Reference Locksmith licensed in Orlando?

    Reference Locksmith says it is licensed and insured but does not publish a licence number. Florida has no state locksmith licence, so ask for photo ID, a written quote and the company's local business tax receipt before work begins.

  • Does Reference Locksmith offer 24-hour emergency service?

    Yes. Google lists Reference Locksmith as open 24 hours every day, and the website says it offers 24/7 emergency lockout service with the price quoted on the phone. It is mobile, so a technician drives to your home, car or business.

  • Where does Reference Locksmith work?

    The company says it serves Orlando, Kissimmee, Ocoee, Apopka and surrounding areas, and customers on Google mention jobs near Universal Studios. It has no shop to visit; the listed address is 2158 Turmeric Ave and the service is mobile, so describe your car or lock on the phone and agree the price before it drives out.

  • Is Reference 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 Reference Locksmith serve?

    Orlando. 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 Reference 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.
