Davie sits just west of our shop in Fort Lauderdale — a short drive down I-595 or Griffin Road, which means fast response times across town. Davie has its own character: a college town built around Nova Southeastern University and Broward College, with ranch-style homes, sprawling apartment complexes, and student housing along corridors like University Drive, Davie Road, and Pine Island Road. There's even a western streak — the Bergeron Rodeo Grounds and horse country out west remind you this town grew up differently than the beach cities.
We serve all of it: emergency lockouts, rekeys, smart locks, and car keys cut and programmed on site.
Lockouts for students and renters
A big share of our Davie calls come from students and renters — locked out of dorms and off-campus apartments near NSU and Broward College, keys left inside while a roommate is out of town, or a key that simply won't turn in an older apartment lock. We're open 24 hours Sunday through Thursday, so a late-night lockout on a school night doesn't have to mean sleeping in your car.
Landlords and property managers along Davie's apartment corridors call us for rekeys between tenants and for lockouts when a tenant is stranded. See our emergency lockout service for how it works — or (954) 534-1003 right now.
Car keys around Davie
Campus parking lots, shopping strips along University Drive and Pine Island Road, commuters on Griffin Road — car key trouble in Davie usually means keys locked in the car or a fob that died at the worst moment. Our vans carry the equipment to cut and program most car keys, transponder keys, and key fobs on site, so you don't need a tow or a dealership appointment.

Ranch homes and family neighborhoods
Davie's ranch-style homes and family neighborhoods bring the classic residential jobs: rekeys after buying, deadbolt upgrades on older homes with original hardware, smart locks for busy families, and garage side-entry doors that need real locks — not just the interior handle. A lot of Davie's older homes still have their original locksets, and a deadbolt upgrade is one of the best-value security improvements you can make.

Practical tips for Davie
- Students: leave a spare with a trusted roommate or friend — not under the doormat and not taped to the doorframe. Both are the first places anyone looks.
- Landlords: rekey between every tenant, no exceptions. It's fast, it's cheap, and it's the only way to know who has a key to your property. Our rekey service is built for exactly this.
- Older homes: check that your deadbolt actually throws fully into a reinforced strike plate. A deadbolt that barely catches is decoration, not security.
- Our hours: 24 hours Sunday through Thursday, Friday 12:00 AM–1:00 PM, closed Saturdays for Shabbat. (954) 534-1003.
