What counts as an emergency, and what we bring
Locked out of a car with the engine running, a child or a pet inside, a front door that will not open when you get home from work, keys lost on an evening out, a break-in that left a door unsecured. These are the calls we treat as emergencies, and the truck that comes carries the tools to finish the job in one visit: lockout kits for every vehicle, key blanks and programmers for most makes, deadbolts and knobs in the common finishes, and extraction tools.
If someone is locked inside a vehicle, call 911 first. Then call us. We will still come, but a child or pet in a hot Jacksonville car is a rescue before it is a locksmith job.
How the emergency call works
You talk to a dispatcher who works for We Do Locksmith, not a national call center that sells your job to whoever bids lowest. You tell us where you are, what is locked, and for a car the make, model and year. You get a free estimate for that job, with no obligation. If you agree, the nearest technician is dispatched and you receive a name and an arrival window.
On arrival the tech shows ID and goes over the price with you before touching anything, so nothing begins without your go-ahead. If the job turns out to be different, for example a lockout that turns out to be a broken lock, you hear that before any work starts.
- Real dispatch from Jacksonville, not a lead-selling call center
- Marked vehicle and technician ID on every call
- No evening or weekend surcharge: 7 pm on a Sunday is estimated the same as 9 am on a Tuesday
Where we go, and what happens after 8 pm
Every part of Jacksonville, plus the Beaches, Orange Park, Fleming Island, Mandarin and the Northside. Arrival times stretch the farther you are from our Southside shop on Old Kings Road South, and the dispatcher will give you an honest estimate rather than a promise we cannot keep.
Dispatch runs 8 am to 8 pm, every day, the same hours shown on our Google profile, and we would rather say that plainly than pretend otherwise. Outside those hours the line opens again at 8 am. If someone is locked inside a car, call 911 first; officers respond to a child or a pet in a locked vehicle at any time.

Questions we hear every day
What hours is the emergency locksmith in Jacksonville available?
8 am to 8 pm, every day, weekends included. A technician is dispatched for lockouts, lost keys and break-in repairs for calls that come in before 8 pm. Arrival is usually about twenty minutes in town, longer for the Beaches or Clay County.
How much does an emergency locksmith cost in Jacksonville?
It depends on the job. Call and describe it, and the estimate is free. The technician goes over the price with you before any work starts, so nothing begins without your go-ahead. See our pricing page for what sets the price.
What should I do while I wait?
Stay somewhere safe and lit, keep your phone charged, and have your ID handy. If you are locked out of a home we will ask for proof that you live there; if it is a car, the registration or insurance card in your name.
Can you open my car without damaging it?
Yes. Modern lockout tools open doors without scratching paint or bending frames, and we never break a window. If a door lock is physically broken we tell you before doing anything else.
