Locksmith in Plantation, FL
Around The Lock is a 24/7 mobile locksmith serving all of Plantation, from the offices and mixed-use buildings in Midtown to the large-lot neighborhoods out toward Plantation Acres. We are bonded and insured with a 5.0 star rating and BBB A+ accreditation, and we come to you: homes, cars, and businesses. Commercial hardware and access control, lockouts, car keys, and rekeys, with upfront pricing you approve before we start.
Midtown is a business district with corporate names in it
Plantation Midtown is an 850-acre central business district, and it holds real corporate weight: offices for national employers, mixed-use buildings where people live above the businesses, and thousands of companies across the city. That kind of tenant needs more than a lock changed. It needs master key systems where a facilities manager holds one key instead of a ring of forty, access control that tracks which employee opens which door, and hardware on high-traffic entrances rated for the traffic it actually gets. We schedule that work around business hours so nobody loses a day.
Then there is Plantation Acres, which is nothing like Midtown
Drive west and the city changes completely. Plantation Acres and the older Plantation neighborhoods are large-lot, Old Florida properties, some with acreage, outbuildings, and gates. That is a different job entirely: a detached garage or workshop that needs its own lock, a property where the front door is nowhere near the street, older hardware that has been on the same door for decades. Same city, same day, two completely different service calls. We carry stock for both.
Central location, so the traffic never really stops
Plantation sits in the geographic middle of the region, with the interstate and the turnpike both at hand and the airport twenty minutes away. That is why the businesses are here, and it is also why the doors take a beating. Buildings with steady in-and-out traffic all day wear closers, hinges, and cylinders faster than a quiet office would. On those doors we use commercial-grade hardware rated for the cycles rather than residential parts that will be back on our list in a year.
Permits in Plantation, and the walk-thru option
Plantation runs its own Department of Building Safety on Northwest 70th Terrace, and every contractor working in the city has to be registered with it. One useful local detail: the city offers walk-thru permits for minor work that only needs review by one or two departments, handled Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings. All of Broward is in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, so exterior doors and their hardware need a Broward County Product Approval or a Miami-Dade NOA, covering the complete tested assembly. Interior lock work like a rekey usually needs no permit. We tell you upfront which side your job falls on.
What changes the price in Plantation
A residential rekey or lockout sits at the low end. Commercial work climbs with the scope: a master key system across a building, access control wired for staff, or commercial-grade hardware on a door that takes constant traffic. Out in the acreage neighborhoods, distance across a property and outbuildings that each need their own lock can add to a job. Older homes sometimes need a door prepped before modern hardware fits. We quote upfront and you approve before we start.
What We Do in Plantation
Commercial locksmith Offices and mixed-use buildings across Midtown. Master key systems so a manager carries one key, storefront hardware, and work scheduled around your business hours.
Access control Keypads, fobs, and readers for offices, so you know which staff opened which door and can change access without rekeying.
Lock changes and rekeys New tenants, lost keys, or a move. We rekey every exterior door to one key in a single visit, houses and offices alike.
Door hardware installation Closers, hinges, handles, and thresholds, commercial grade where the traffic calls for it and matched to the door either way.

Car key replacement Keys cut and programmed on-site, including push-to-start smart keys, wherever the car is parked.

Plantation Questions
Do you do commercial locksmith work for Plantation offices?
Yes, it is a large part of the work here. Midtown alone holds hundreds of businesses. We handle master key systems, access control, storefront and office hardware, and we schedule around your hours.
How fast can you get to me in Plantation?
Typically 15 to 25 minutes across the city, Midtown or out toward the acreage neighborhoods. We answer 24 hours a day. Call (954) 371-5674.
Can you handle a property with a garage, workshop, or gate?
Yes. The larger-lot properties in Plantation often have outbuildings that need their own locks. We can key them alike so one key opens everything, or keep them separate if you want them separate.
Can you rekey an office instead of replacing all the locks?
Usually yes, and it is cheaper. If the hardware is sound we rekey it, including setting up a master key so a manager holds one key while staff keys open only their own doors.
Do I need a permit for lock work in Plantation?
Interior work like a rekey or a lock change usually does not. Exterior doors fall under HVHZ product approval and need the right paperwork. We tell you which applies before we start.
