Editorial Review
Our Take on We Do Locksmith
We Do Locksmith pairs the biggest review history in Tampa with a staffed Howard Avenue counter and flat quotes before dispatch. The recurring complaint is customer service after a key job goes wrong, so confirm the warranty before you book.
Best forFlat-rate lockouts, car keys and walk-in key cutting
What We Like
- Shop at 408 N Howard Ave, Suite E, with a walk-in key counter
- Started in Tampa in 2016 and holds 3,364 Google reviews
- Flat price quoted by phone before a technician drives
- Marked vehicles, ID and proof of ownership checked on arrival
- Hours from 7 AM to midnight daily with a 24/7 emergency line
Things to Consider
- About 100 one-star Google reviews describe rude phone calls and car problems after key work
- Part of a three-city Florida brand, and its site photos are not labeled by city
- Most work is mobile, so the Howard Avenue shop is mainly for key cutting and dispatch

Company Background
About We Do Locksmith
We Do Locksmith started in Tampa in 2016 and now also runs shops in Orlando and Jacksonville, but the Tampa operation still works from 408 N Howard Avenue, Suite E, in the Northwest Tampa area. The company says every call begins with a flat price quoted by phone, and that the technician repeats that price on site before touching a lock. Its staff are employees rather than contractors, in wrapped vehicles with ID, and the company states they are background-checked, insured and bonded.
The service list covers emergency lockouts at any hour, lost car keys made at the vehicle, smart fob programming, rekeys after a move, deadbolt and smart lock upgrades, and storefront work such as master key systems and panic hardware. The site says it covers Westshore, Carrollwood, Brandon and Riverview from the Howard Avenue base. Unlike most mobile-only competitors, it keeps a counter where you can walk in with a house, padlock, mailbox or car key and leave with a copy.
Reviews come back to the same technician often. Damien is named in several recent reviews for fast lockouts and truck key programming, and one reviewer describes a condo entry handled quickly and politely. We Do Locksmith holds 4.9 from 3,364 Google reviews, read October 29, 2026, and about 100 of those are one-star. Those low reviews follow a pattern, with customers describing a car that would not start after key work and a rude phone exchange afterward, so ask how the company handles a problem after the job.
This company suits people who want a price before dispatch and a real shop behind the van, including renters locked out late at night. It suits less well anyone who wants an appointment-only residential specialist. Before you book, ask for the written or texted quote, whether the lockout will be done without drilling, what warranty covers 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.

We Do Locksmith FAQs
Is We Do Locksmith licensed in Tampa?
Florida has no state locksmith licence, and Hillsborough County follows state preemption, so there is no licence to look up. We Do Locksmith says it carries liability insurance and a surety bond and that its technicians are background-checked employees. Ask for ID, a written quote and the local business tax receipt before work starts.
What are We Do Locksmith's hours in Tampa?
Google lists the Tampa shop as open from 7 AM to midnight every day, and the company advertises a 24/7 emergency line at (813) 760-1060. The shop is at 408 N Howard Avenue, Suite E, and counter key cutting is available there. Call first for after-midnight lockouts to confirm a technician is free.
How does We Do Locksmith price a lockout?
The company says it quotes a flat price on the phone before dispatch and goes over that price with you on site before any work begins. It says the price changes only if the job itself changes. Ask for the quote by text, and ask about the warranty on new keys and rekeys.

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 We Do 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.
