Question 1

Are you available 24 hours a day?

Accepted Answer

Yes. AK Locksmith Services operates 24/7, 365 days a year — including weekends and all holidays. Emergency lockouts don't wait for business hours, and neither do we.

Question 2

How long will it take for you to arrive?

Accepted Answer

Our average response time in the Davenport, FL area is 20-35 minutes. Response times may vary slightly based on traffic and your exact location, but we always communicate an accurate ETA when you call.

Question 3

Do I need to show identification to get locksmith service?

Accepted Answer

Yes. For all lockout services (residential, automotive, and commercial), we require proof of ownership or residency. For home lockouts, a photo ID matching the address is needed. For car lockouts, a driver's license and vehicle registration. This protects you and ensures we only open locks for their rightful owners.

Question 4

What is lock rekeying and when should I do it?

Accepted Answer

Rekeying changes the internal pins of your existing lock cylinder so old keys no longer work and new keys are provided. You should rekey when you move into a new home, after losing a key, when a tenant or employee leaves, or anytime you want to ensure previous key holders no longer have access. It's more affordable than full lock replacement.

Question 5

Can you make a car key without the original?

Accepted Answer

Yes. As long as you have proof of vehicle ownership (title or registration) and a valid photo ID, we can cut and program a replacement key for most vehicle makes and models — even without the original key.

Question 6

What car makes do you service?

Accepted Answer

We service all major car makes including Acura, Alfa Romeo, BMW, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Ford, Fiat, GMC, Genesis, Honda, Hyundai, Infiniti, Jaguar, Jeep, Kia, Land Rover, Lexus, Lincoln, Mazda, Maserati, Mercedes-Benz, Mini Cooper, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Pontiac, Porsche, Subaru, Suzuki, Toyota, and Volvo.

Question 7

Do you do commercial locksmith work?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We provide full commercial locksmith services including lockouts, lock repair and replacement, rekeying, lock installation, master key systems, emergency exit trim installation, safe opening, and storage lockout service.

Question 8

Will you damage my door or lock when opening it?

Accepted Answer

In the vast majority of cases, we use non-destructive entry techniques that leave your lock and door completely intact. If a situation requires destructive entry, we will always discuss this with you and provide a cost estimate for any hardware that may need replacement before proceeding.

Question 9

Do you install smart locks?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Smart lock installation is one of our most popular services. We install all major brands including August, Schlage, Kwikset, and Yale — and we handle full setup and app configuration so your new smart lock is ready to use immediately.
