It’s 8:47 AM on a Tuesday, and a property manager off Lake Mary Boulevard is standing in front of a rental unit with a sheriff’s deputy, a writ of possession in hand, and a tenant who has finally moved out. The deputy needs the locks changed before he can sign off and clear the property. The clock is ticking. This is the exact moment landlords, property managers, and HOA representatives across 32746 reach for the phone and call A Plus Locksmith & Keys at (407) 536-7717.
We’ve handled eviction lockouts in just about every corner of Lake Mary — from rental homes near Heathrow and Markham Woods Road to apartment communities off Rinehart Road and condos near the I-4 and SR-46 interchange. The Seminole County Sheriff’s Office runs writs on a tight schedule, and most deputies will not stay on-site for an hour while you wait on a locksmith from across town. Our mobile units are stationed throughout the Orlando metro and can typically reach Lake Mary addresses in 15-30 minutes. Insured, — we know what the deputy needs, what paperwork to expect, and how to rekey or replace locks fast so the property is legally secured the moment the writ is executed.
Our Eviction Lockout Service in Lake Mary
An eviction lockout is not the same as a standard rekey or lock change. There’s a specific legal process attached, a deputy is usually present, and the work has to be completed quickly and correctly so the property owner can lawfully take possession. Our eviction lockout service in Lake Mary is built around that reality.
Here’s what’s included when you call us out for a Lake Mary writ of possession:
– Rekey of all exterior locks so old tenant keys no longer work
– Lock replacement when existing hardware is damaged, worn out, or non-functional
– Deadbolt installation or upgrade if the unit lacks proper secondary locks
– Mailbox lock changes when required by the property type
– Gate, garage, and patio door locks at single-family rentals and townhomes
– New keys cut on-site — typically three to five working copies handed to you before we leave
– Master key system setup for property managers handling multiple units across complexes near Lake Mary
We work with individual landlords renting a single home off Markham Woods, property management companies overseeing portfolios in Heathrow and Timacuan, HOA boards, real estate investors, and bank-owned property handlers dealing with foreclosure aftermath. Each situation has its own quirks. A 1970s rental near Lake Mary’s older downtown section may have outdated hardware that needs full replacement. A newer build in Magnolia Plantation might just need a quick rekey across matching Schlage cylinders.
Professional service matters here because mistakes cost money. A botched lock job means re-keying twice, paying a deputy to return, or leaving a property vulnerable overnight. Our techs carry residential and commercial cylinders, smart lock options, and high-security hardware on every truck — meaning we finish the job in one visit.
How Our Eviction Lockout Service Works in Lake Mary
The process is straightforward, but speed and coordination matter. Here’s how a typical Lake Mary eviction lockout call runs from start to finish:
Step 1 — The Call. You dial (407) 536-7717. Our dispatcher gathers the basics: property address (with zip 32746 or nearby), number of doors, type of locks if you know them, and your timeline. If a Seminole County deputy is already on-site or scheduled, we prioritize accordingly. No automated phone trees — you talk to a real person.
Step 2 — Dispatch. The nearest mobile unit is sent immediately. Depending on where in Lake Mary you are, response time runs 15-30 minutes on average. Calls near I-4 and Lake Mary Boulevard are usually fastest. Properties further out toward Markham Woods Road or up near the Seminole/Volusia line may run closer to 30 minutes during heavy traffic windows.
Step 3 — Arrival and Verification. Our tech arrives in a marked vehicle, in uniform, with ID. For eviction work, we verify with the deputy on-site or confirm the writ paperwork with you. We do not change locks on a property without proof you have the legal right to take possession — this protects both of us.
Step 4 — The Work. Most single-family eviction rekeys take 30-45 minutes. Lock replacements run 45-75 minutes depending on door count and hardware. Apartment units are typically faster. We work efficiently because the deputy is often on a schedule and you have other things to handle.
Step 5 — Walkthrough and Keys. Before we leave, we test every lock with the new keys, walk through the property with you, and hand over the working set. You get a written invoice on the spot with all parts and labor itemized — no surprise charges. After-hours pricing is disclosed before we start, not after.
Why Choose A Plus Locksmith & Keys in Lake Mary
There are a lot of locksmiths advertising in the Orlando metro. Not all of them are licensed in Florida, and even fewer specialize in the legal side of eviction work. Here’s what sets us apart for Lake Mary property owners:
Licensed, Insured. Florida requires locksmiths to be properly credentialed, and we carry full general liability insurance. If something goes wrong on your property, you’re protected. Many fly-by-night operators advertising cheap rates online carry no coverage at all.
BBB A+ rated. Our Better Business Bureau accreditation reflects years of consistent, honest work across Orange County and Seminole County. We don’t quote one price on the phone and charge triple at the door — a common complaint about out-of-state lead-generation locksmiths.
True 24/7 mobile service. Evictions don’t always happen during business hours. Late-night squatter situations, early-morning deputy schedules, weekend writ executions — we answer the phone at 2 AM the same way we answer at 2 PM. Our after-hours rates are transparent and disclosed up front.
Local knowledge. We know Lake Mary. We know that getting to a property off International Parkway during morning rush hour means leaving 10 minutes earlier. We know which apartment complexes around Rinehart Road use which lock brands. We know the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office procedures because we’ve worked alongside them on hundreds of writs.
Years serving the area. A Plus Locksmith & Keys has been serving Orange County and the greater Orlando metro for years, with a steady stream of repeat business from property management companies, real estate professionals, and individual landlords. Most of our eviction work comes from referrals — that doesn’t happen by accident.
When the deputy is waiting and the writ has to be executed, you need a locksmith who shows up fast and does it right the first time.

Frequently Asked Questions About Eviction Lockout Service in Lake Mary
How much does an eviction lockout service cost in Lake Mary?
Pricing depends on the number of doors, type of locks, time of day, and whether you need rekeying or full replacement. A standard single-family rekey during business hours typically starts in the low-to-mid hundreds. After-hours and emergency calls carry a service premium, which we disclose before any work begins. We provide written quotes on-site and never add surprise charges. Call (407) 536-7717 for a no-obligation estimate.
Do I need to be present during the eviction lockout?
Yes, in most cases. Florida law requires that the property owner or an authorized representative be present when a writ of possession is executed, and the Seminole County deputy will need to confirm your identity. We also need you on-site to receive the new keys and sign off on the completed work. If you cannot be there, you can send a designated agent with proper authorization documentation.
How fast can you get to Lake Mary for an emergency lockout?
Our typical response time to Lake Mary addresses is 15-30 minutes, depending on traffic and the specific location within 32746. Calls near Lake Mary Boulevard and I-4 generally see the fastest arrival. We dispatch the closest available mobile unit immediately when you call. If you have a scheduled writ execution, we recommend booking ahead so we can have a tech on-site before the deputy arrives.
Can you handle multiple units at once for a property management company?
Absolutely. We regularly handle multi-unit eviction lockouts for property management companies operating in Lake Mary and across Seminole County. We can schedule multiple techs, set up master key systems for your portfolio, and provide consolidated invoicing. Many of our property management clients have us on standing arrangements so a single phone call activates dispatch across multiple addresses.
What if the old locks are damaged or unusual?
Our mobile units carry a wide inventory of residential and commercial lock hardware — Schlage, Kwikset, Yale, Baldwin, and high-security options. If we encounter damaged, unusual, or non-standard hardware, we can almost always replace it on the spot rather than making a second trip. For rare or specialty hardware, we’ll either source it the same day or recommend a compatible replacement that meets your needs and budget.
