Why Fort Lauderdale Residents Choose Locksmith Auto
Last month a restaurant owner on Las Olas Blvd had a break-in attempt. Door frame damaged, deadbolt barely holding. Alex came out that same morning, replaced the lock with a Schlage B60N, reinforced the strike plate, and installed a door wrap. Whole thing took about 40 minutes. We work up and down A1A, from Lauderdale-by-the-Sea down through Victoria Park and Rio Vista. Alex and Andrew Ry split Fort Lauderdale coverage so one of us is always nearby.
We cover Fort Lauderdale ZIP codes 33301 and 14 more. Every job is flat-rate — car lockouts from $45, car key replacement from $120, rekeying from $75 per lock. No trip fees to Fort Lauderdale, no bait-and-switch.
