Safe Lockout & Safe Opening Service: What We Actually Do
The phrase 'safe opening' covers a surprisingly wide range of situations. A homeowner in the Nocatee master-planned community might call because they inherited a vintage dial-combination floor safe and never received the combination. A restaurant owner near US-1 in St. Augustine might have a depository safe with a jammed bolt mechanism after a power surge fried the electronic keypad. A firearms collector in Fruit Cove might need a biometric gun safe opened after a firmware update corrupted the fingerprint database. Each scenario requires a different diagnostic approach, and that is precisely why we send technicians who are experienced across all major safe types — not generalists who happened to grab a pry bar.
Our process starts with ownership verification. Before any work begins, we ask for proof that you have the right to access the safe — a photo ID, a bill of sale, a lease agreement, or similar documentation. This is a non-negotiable professional standard, not a formality. Once confirmed, our technician evaluates the lock mechanism — whether it's a Group 2 dial lock, an electronic keypad, a redundant key-override cylinder, or a mortise lock integrated into a cabinet safe — and determines the least invasive opening method available. We document everything and walk you through the findings before proceeding.
Types of Safes We Open: From Mortise Lock Cabinets to High-Security Vaults
Not all safes are built the same, and the locking technology inside them varies enormously. Standard residential safes often use relocker bars and a single combination dial. Commercial depository safes may incorporate a mortise lock cylinder alongside an electronic keypad for dual-authentication entry — if either component fails, the entire unit can be rendered inaccessible. Gun safes frequently use long-bolt systems that, once the locking mechanism binds, can be exceptionally difficult to open without the right equipment. Fire-rated document safes may swell slightly after surviving heat exposure, causing the door to bind even when the combination is correct.
We also handle security cabinets and cash drawers that use a commercial mortise lock as their primary security mechanism. This is a different service from opening a residential door knob lock or a standard deadbolt — mortise lock hardware is embedded within the door body and requires specialized manipulation or decoding tools. Our team carries the equipment for all of these scenarios, and because we are a fully mobile emergency locksmith operation, every service call is stocked for the most likely scenarios we'll encounter in the field across St. Johns County.

Pricing, Call-Out Fees, and What Determines Your Quote
Residents frequently ask: 'What is a locksmith call-out fee?' and 'How much should a locksmith cost per hour?' or 'How much does a locksmith cost in Florida?' — these are fair questions and we answer them directly. In Florida's locksmith market, pricing reflects several legitimate variables: the type of lock or safe involved (a standard door knob lock is a different job than a commercial mortise lock or a high-security vault), the time of day (overnight and weekend calls involve higher operational costs), the travel distance within St. Johns County, and whether any replacement parts — lock cylinders, keypads, batteries, re-lockers — are needed. What is the average call-out fee for a locksmith? Industry norms vary widely by region and job complexity, which is why we do not publish a single flat rate that wouldn't reflect real-world conditions.
What we do commit to, every single time: our technician provides a firm, all-inclusive price quote before any work begins. No hidden add-ons, no surprise charges when the invoice arrives. If you are locked out of your home in St. Augustine Beach at 2 a.m. or need a commercial safe opened at a business park off Race Track Road on a Sunday, you will know the exact cost before we touch anything. If you are wondering 'Is there a locksmith in St. Johns, Florida?' — yes, and we serve the entire county from a mobile fleet that is already on the road. Call (904) 478-1963 any time, day or night, and we will give you a straight answer on timing and pricing within minutes.
Locked Out, Need a Car Key, or Rekeying Your Home? We Handle It All
Beyond safe openings, All Points Locksmith is the one number St. Johns County residents and business owners reach for across a full spectrum of lock and key emergencies. If you're locked out right now — standing at your front door after misplacing your keys, stuck outside your car in a Costco parking lot off Durbin Parkway, or waiting outside your office before an early morning meeting — our 24/7 mobile dispatch means help is genuinely on the way, not routed through a call center in another state. We verify ownership, we arrive equipped, and we open the door without damaging your hardware wherever that is technically possible.
Need a key for your car? We cut and program keys for a wide range of vehicle makes and models, including transponder keys and push-button proximity fobs, right there in the parking lot or your driveway. Need a commercial locksmith because you manage a multi-unit retail space and need a master key system installed? We design and implement those systems for businesses throughout St. Johns County. Need to rekey your home after a recent move, a break-in, or after giving a spare to a contractor who no longer needs it? Rekeying is one of the fastest, most cost-effective ways to restore full control over who can access your property — and we carry the pinning kits for Schlage, Kwikset, and most other common residential hardware right on the truck.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a locksmith in St. Johns, Florida who can open my safe the same day?
Yes — All Points Locksmith is a fully mobile locksmith operation serving all of St. Johns County, including the St. Johns community, Fruit Cove, Julington Creek, Ponte Vedra, Nocatee, and St. Augustine. We operate 24/7, so same-day and even same-hour response is available depending on your location and current technician availability. Call (904) 478-1963 and we will give you an honest ETA on the spot.
What is a locksmith call-out fee, and will I be charged one for a safe opening?
A call-out fee — sometimes called a service call or dispatch fee — is a charge that covers the cost of sending a technician to your location. Whether and how a call-out fee is structured into a final quote depends on the job type, time of day, and travel distance. At All Points Locksmith, we provide a single all-inclusive price before any work starts, so you will never see a surprise line item on your invoice. We explain every cost component when you call.
How much should a locksmith cost per hour for safe opening in Florida?
Hourly rates in Florida vary based on the complexity of the work, the type of safe or lock mechanism involved, and the time of the service call. A straightforward electronic keypad issue on a residential safe is a different labor investment than manipulating a commercial vault with a mortise lock and redundant re-lockers. Rather than publish a rate that does not apply fairly to every job, we quote each service individually — and we confirm that quote with you before we begin. Call (904) 478-1963 for a direct, no-obligation estimate.
Can you open my safe without damaging it?
In most cases, yes. Our trained technicians prioritize non-destructive entry techniques whenever the safe's design and condition allow for it. For many common residential and commercial safes, we can open the unit in a way that leaves the door, lock mechanism, and contents fully intact. There are situations — heavily damaged locks, certain high-security re-locker activations, or safes that have been through a fire — where some degree of controlled drilling is necessary, but we always explain this before proceeding and only move forward with your approval.
I forgot the combination to my home safe — what should I do before calling?
First, check whether the manufacturer included a reset card or override key in the original packaging — many residential electronic safes ship with a small backup key stored separately. If the safe has a dial mechanism, check for any documentation from the previous owner or the retailer. If your safe has a battery-powered keypad, try fresh batteries before assuming a more serious fault. If none of those steps resolve the issue, do not attempt to force the door — doing so can activate re-locker bolts that make professional opening significantly more difficult. Call (904) 478-1963 and let a qualified technician assess the situation properly.
Do you provide commercial locksmith services for businesses that need safes or mortise locks serviced?
Absolutely. All Points Locksmith regularly serves commercial clients throughout St. Johns County — restaurants, retail shops, medical offices, storage facilities, and more. Commercial jobs often involve mortise lock hardware on cabinets or doors, depository safes, or master key systems that require a different level of expertise than standard residential work. Our insured technicians have hands-on experience with commercial-grade hardware, and we can respond to business lockouts or safe emergencies 24/7, including outside normal business hours when the stakes are often highest.
