We serve Las Olas Boulevard — which runs from Andrews Avenue east to A1A and the beach (Wikipedia) — and the residential finger islands of Las Olas Isles. Lockouts start at $110 for a home or condo unit and $99 for a car, at the same rate whether it's lunchtime or after the restaurants close.

One street, two kinds of work
Las Olas is really two places for a locksmith. The boulevard is shops, restaurants, offices and parking garages, so the calls are storefront locks, staff-change rekeys and cars. The isles are canal streets of waterfront houses and some condo buildings, so the calls are lockouts, rekeys after a sale, and hardware that has given up to sea air. Las Olas Isles has its own neighborhood association on the city's list (City of Fort Lauderdale).
Along the boulevard
- Storefront and back-door locks, rekeys after staff changes (commercial)
- Panic bars and closers that don't latch
- Car lockouts in the garages and lots after dinner — from $99, usually $99–164 (car lockout)
- Late closes: a manager locked out at midnight pays the daytime price
On the isles
- Waterfront homes where salt air eats plated hardware — stainless (630) or marine-grade finishes last longer (lock change)
- Impact doors and sliders facing the water (impact-door locks, sliders)
- Condo units within building rules (condo locksmith)
A Fort Lauderdale window and door installer describes Las Olas Isles and Harbor Beach as canal-front and open-water sites with more wind exposure than inland streets (Republic Window & Door). For a locksmith that means two things: impact doors whose lock must match the door's approval, and multi-point locks that need realigning when a heavy door shifts. Often that's an adjustment, not a replacement. The isles sit on some of the 165 miles of navigable waterways the city counts within its limits (City of Fort Lauderdale Parks) — which is why so many doors here face water and salt.
Rentals on and near Las Olas
The city has about 3,830 active Airbnb listings (AirROI), and every vacation rental in Fort Lauderdale needs a city Certificate of Compliance (City of Fort Lauderdale). The city page doesn't set rules for locks; what hosts need from us is practical — keypads that work without Wi-Fi, a physical backup, and someone who answers when a guest is stuck outside.

Landmarks we use to find you
- Downtown end: Broward College's Willis Holcombe Center at 111 East Las Olas (Broward College), the same Higher Education Complex where FAU runs its Fort Lauderdale campus (FAU), and the Riverwalk, which runs more than a mile along the New River from Sailboat Bend toward the Stranahan House (Wikipedia).
- Beach end: the Oceanside Park garage, about 650 spaces, built as part of the Las Olas beach park project (FIU Caplin News) — a common spot for keys locked in a car after a beach day.
How we reach you here
- Boulevard: the business name or the garage name and level, plus the nearest stairwell.

Questions
My restaurant's back door won't lock at closing. Can you come now?
Yes. Tell us whether it's a panic bar, a closer or the lock itself, and send a photo if you can — the price for a standard repair is on the call.
Is parking a problem?
Sometimes, on busy evenings. That's our problem, not an extra charge.
How long until you get to Las Olas?
About 20 minutes to the boulevard or the isles on a typical call — confirmed when you ring.
Is the Spanish service available on Las Olas too?
Yes — ask for Spanish when you call. Our Spanish pages have the same prices.
