Locked out of your Margate home or villa? We pick the lock rather than drill it, so it keeps working.
Single-family homes, 55-plus villas and rentals in every Margate neighborhood.
What happens from the call to the moment you are back inside.
Knob, deadbolt, slider or keypad? A photo of the lock by text saves time and means we bring the right tools.
Standard locks get picked or bypassed, so they keep working and your key still fits.
You know the full cost before we start. If an old lock has failed inside, you hear that before anything is drilled.
ID, mail or a lease with your address, or confirmation from the community office. We ask everyone.
Each service has its own page with local details and answers to common questions.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Jaffia L. — Yelp review
"What a great experience. I was so nervous getting new locks installed but Joe is a professional with a wonderful personality. Arrived promptly on time, knew exactly what would work for me. Was so conscientious- even made sure the locks matched the doors! Pricing was reasonable and he was so quick and efficient. I would recommend this company to all my loved ones and friends! Great service, great company, thank you!!!"
Kaya G. — Yelp review
"He is extremely professional and had my office door opened in less than a minute without any damage to the door or lock. I would highly recommend KSB Locksmith! Thanks Joe!"
Debi H., Boca Raton — Yelp review
A lot of Margate homes still have hardware from the 1960s and 70s. Knobs that no longer latch, deadbolts that only throw with a shove, and cylinders that finally wear through are behind many lockouts here. If that is what happened, we can usually fit a new lock on the same visit.
Aluminum sliders are a Margate classic. Latches wear out, and a broom handle in the track turns the back door into a wall. Tell us if the slider is your only other way in.
In the 55-plus villa communities, such as Oriole Estates, Oriole Gardens and Paradise Gardens, the community office sometimes holds a spare key. It is worth a call before you call us. If not, we open the unit door and work within the association’s rules.
Margate has a lot of rentals. If you rent and the lock is failing, let your landlord know after we get you in; if you own the rental, a lockout is a good moment to rekey.
