A Locksmith Who Actually Knows Pace
Pace isn't one neighborhood — it's a string of them along US-90, from the older blocks near Pace High School and the Woodbine Road corridor out to the newer subdivisions off Chumuckla Highway and Quintette Road. We work all of it. When a customer says "I'm at the Stonebrook side, near the Publix on 90," we already know which turn to take. That local knowledge is the difference between a 20-minute response and a tech circling your subdivision reading a GPS pin out loud.
The 32571 ZIP grew fast. A lot of Pace homes went up between the late '90s and the building boom, which means a lot of houses are still running the original builder-grade deadbolts and a Kwikset knob that any neighbor's spare key probably opens. We rekey, upgrade, and re-pin those daily. Older Bagdad and Floridatown homes near the Blackwater River are the opposite problem — solid doors, but locks that have been painted over, swollen, and fought with for thirty years. Both jobs are routine for us.
Service Across Pace and West Santa Rosa County
We cover Pace, Pea Ridge, Avalon Beach, Bagdad, Allentown, Chumuckla, East Milton, Floridatown, and the Whiting Field area. Every call routes through a single local dispatcher — no third-party answering service, no offshore call center. The number you call is the number that answers, day or night. If you're north of Pace toward Munson or out past Whiting Field NAS, we still come; just tell us the cross street so we can give you an honest drive-time.
Our work is non-destructive whenever possible. We pick, bypass, and pin-set far more locks than we ever drill. Drilling a lock is a last resort that costs you a replacement lock plus the service — we'd rather take the extra five minutes and save your hardware. On a typical Avalon Boulevard apartment lockout, we're usually back in the door without leaving a mark.
Identification and address verification are standard. Before we open any door, we confirm you belong on the inside of it. It is a feature, not a hassle — it is what separates a real locksmith from a scammer with a van. With Whiting Field families rotating in and out and a steady stream of new Pace renters, verification protects everybody.
What We Do
Emergency lockouts, lock rekeys, car key replacement and programming, residential security upgrades, commercial master key systems, panic bar and exit-device service, smart lock installation, and key fob programming. The full residential and commercial scope, with 24/7 emergency response across Pace and the surrounding 32571 area.
House lockouts and rekeys
Bought a place off Berryhill Road and don't know who else has a key? Rekey it the day you close. A rekey keeps your existing hardware — we just re-pin the cylinders to a fresh key, so the old keys stop working. It's faster and cheaper than swapping every lock, and it's the single most common job we run for new Pace homeowners.
Car keys at your driveway
Lost the only key to a truck sitting in a Pea Ridge driveway? We cut and program transponder keys, smart fobs, and proximity keys on-site — most makes and model years, including push-to-start. No flatbed to a dealership in Pensacola, no two-day wait on a fob in the mail.
Business and commercial
Storefronts along US-90, the shops near Pace Boulevard, contractors keeping a yard off Highway 89 — we handle master key systems, employee turnover rekeys, panic bars, file cabinet and mailbox locks, and access hardware. One call, one invoice, scheduled around your hours.

Straight Pricing, Quoted on the Phone
You get a realistic, all-in price before we dispatch — not a $19 "service call" bait number that triples on your doorstep. Standard house and car lockouts in Pace fall in a normal, fair range; rekeys are priced per cylinder; car keys depend on whether your vehicle needs chip programming. We tell you which before we roll. The price you hear on the phone is the price you pay.
