The Ranking

Our top 5 locksmiths in Miami

Miami's lockout calls follow its housing. Condo towers in Brickell, Edgewater and Downtown generate move-in rekeys and fob problems, while older houses and rentals in Little Havana, Allapattah and Wynwood often have worn deadbolts, mailbox locks and shared keys that no one can account for. Businesses along Calle Ocho and in Wynwood add storefront locks and master key work. The city is also full of locksmith listings with a phone number and no address, so the first check is whether you can see a real place of business. Licensing has changed. Florida has no state locksmith licence, and Miami-Dade County says it stopped issuing locksmith licences on July 1, 2025, after the state took over local licensing of locksmiths. That means a licence number on a website is the company's own claim, not a live county credential. Ask for photo ID at the door, a marked vehicle, proof of insurance and a written quote that covers the service call fee, parts and labour. Look the business up on Florida's Sunbiz registry and confirm the street address exists. Where a listing here shows a licence number or certification, we say it is reported by the company. Each company below has a street address you can find on Google Maps. Two of them keep walk-in shops with limited hours, so the 24-hour line is a mobile service. We say plainly what we could not confirm.

Methodology

How we chose the best locksmiths in Miami

We checked Google Maps data and each company's website for Miami locksmiths on October 29, 2026. Each company had to be operating, rated 4.5 or higher from at least 50 Google reviews, have a working website with a phone number matching Google, and a street address inside the City of Miami, including neighborhoods such as Little Havana, Brickell, Wynwood, Coconut Grove and Allapattah. Companies in Miami Beach, Hialeah, Doral, Coral Gables, North Miami and unincorporated Kendall were left out. The list follows Google Maps order for the search locksmith in Miami, FL. We rejected listings with mailbox or virtual addresses, no named people and licence claims we could not match to an agency, and companies with fewer than the required reviews. No company paid for a place. Ratings and review counts were read on October 29, 2026.

Hiring

How to choose a locksmith in Miami

  1. Get a firm price on the phone

    Ask for the full cost of the job, call-out included, before anyone drives over. A real shop can quote a lockout or a rekey in one call.

  2. Ask for the business name

    Write down the registered name and the address. Many listings are call centres that pass the job to whoever is closest.

  3. Check ID when they arrive

    The technician should match the company you called, with a marked vehicle or ID. A reputable locksmith will also ask for proof that you live there.

  4. Ask about the method

    Most lockouts can be opened without drilling. If the first move is to drill and replace the lock, ask why before you agree.

  5. Get a written invoice

    The invoice should name the company, the parts used and the labour. Keep it in case the new lock fails.

  6. Ask about the warranty

    New hardware usually carries a manufacturer warranty, and the work should carry the locksmith's own. Get both lengths in writing.

Questions to ask before hiring

0 of 8 asked

Red flags

  • A very low quote on the phone that grows once the door is open
  • No business name, only a generic 'locksmith service' answer
  • Drilling the lock as the first and only option
  • An unmarked car and no ID
  • Cash only, with no invoice

FAQ

Locksmith companies in Miami FAQs

Do locksmiths need a licence in Miami?

Not currently. Florida has no state locksmith licence, and Miami-Dade County says it stopped issuing locksmith licences on July 1, 2025. A licence number on a website is therefore the company's own claim. Ask for photo ID, proof of insurance and a written quote, and look the business up on Florida's Sunbiz registry.

How much does a locksmith cost in Miami?

Prices depend on the job and the hour, so get the total before work starts. Quickly Locksmith Miami posts a home lockout from $85, rekeying from $85 for one lock, and a service call of $75 to $150 that it says is waived if work is done. Nights and weekends usually cost more, so ask for the full price on the phone.

Which Miami locksmiths have a shop I can walk into?

Quickly Locksmith Miami has shops at 2680 NE 2nd Ave and 26 SE 1st St, Caraballo Locksmith is at 1270 SW 8th St, Caraballo Liberty Locksmith is at 831 NW 37th Ave, and 305 Lockout is at 276 NE 1st St. Counter hours are shorter than the 24-hour phone lines, so call before you go.
