Search locksmith near me in Broward and you get a screen full of listings. A lot of them are dispatch networks that pass your job to whoever is closest. Here is the honest difference.
01
You get Joe, not a subcontractor
Call 954-994-1984 and you reach Joe, the owner. Joe is also the person who turns up at your door. No call centre, no voicemail, and nobody bidding your job out to a stranger.
02
Licensed & insured in Florida
Fully licensed and insured to work throughout Broward County. Ask for the license number any time. A locksmith who gets cagey about that question is telling you something.
03
The quote is the price
The oldest trick in this trade is a cheap number on the phone that triples once your lock is already drilled. You get a clear quote before any work starts, and that is what you pay. No dispatch fee bolted on at the end.
04
One county, since 2012
KSB works Broward, and only Broward, and has done since 2012. That is over a decade of knowing which buildings run which hardware, where the gate offices are, and how long it really takes to cross the county at five on a Friday.
Straight pricing
What it costs
Starting prices, published up front. Not a teaser rate and not a flat rate: whatever number you are quoted before work begins is the number you pay.

House lockout

Rekey, per cylinder

Why every price says from
Because a standard residential deadbolt is not the same job as a high-security cylinder or a multipoint patio door, and five cylinders keyed alike is not the same as five separate rekeys. Tell us the lock and the door when you call and you get a firm number before anyone touches anything. There is no dispatch fee, and no charge for turning up and quoting.

Commercial doors fail differently than residential ones. A storefront door might cycle hundreds of times a day, which wears latches, closers and cylinders far faster than a front door at home. Most of the commercial calls we get are not break-ins or emergencies. They are hardware that has quietly been degrading for months until it finally stops working on a busy morning.
Staff turnover is the other constant. Every business that hands out keys eventually loses track of them, and the honest answer is that you never know how many copies exist. Rekeying on turnover is inexpensive, and for anything above a few doors a master key system is usually the better structure: each person opens what they need, you open everything, and changes stay contained.
Exit hardware is where compliance enters the picture. Panic bars and alarmed exits exist so people can always get out, and they need to function correctly regardless of what is happening on the outside of the door. We install, repair and adjust exit devices, and if something on your door is not working the way it should we will say so plainly.
Scheduling matters as much as the work. We book commercial jobs around business hours where we can — early, late, or on a quieter day — because a door out of service during trading hours costs more than the repair does. Property managers running multiple buildings can group work into single visits.
Common questions
Commercial locksmith FAQ
What business owners and property managers ask us most.
Can you work outside business hours?
Yes, and for most commercial jobs we prefer to. A door out of service during trading hours costs you more than the work does, so we schedule around you where we can.
What is a master key system?
Each door has its own key while one master key opens all of them. It suits offices, multi-unit buildings and any property where different people need different access.
Do you service panic bars and exit devices?
Yes — installation, repair and adjustment. Exit hardware has to work every time, and a door that sticks or drags is worth fixing before it becomes a problem.
Can you rekey a whole building at once?
Yes. Tell us how many doors and whether you want them on one key or a master system, and we will quote the whole job up front.
Do you install access control or keypads?
Yes. For many businesses a keypad is the practical answer to turnover, because you change a code in seconds rather than rekeying every time someone leaves.
Do you work with property managers?
Regularly. If you manage several buildings we can group work into single visits, which is cheaper than separate call-outs.
