1. Why Most “24-Hour Locksmiths” Aren’t Really 24-Hour

Let’s be honest—many companies advertise 24/7, but they:

  • Forward your call to voicemail

  • Say “we’re only open 9–5”

  • Or subcontract to unreliable techs with no accountability

We’re different.

At Pro On The Go:

- Real humans answer—every hour
- Licensed locksmiths show up fast
- Emergency response is part of our daily (and nightly) operation


2. What to Expect When You Call Us at Night

Here’s our 24/7 process in action:

  1. You call or text — no app required

  2. We respond in under 90 seconds

  3. We confirm your location and dispatch immediately

  4. Our tech arrives in uniform, ID visible, tools ready

  5. We unlock or secure your space—damage-free

  6. You’re safely back inside—usually within 30–45 minutes

We also follow up the next day to check that you’re okay and offer discounted rekeying or upgrades if needed.


3. Common Late-Night Locksmith Emergencies in Tampa

- Locked out of your home or apartment
- Keys locked inside your car
- Lost key fob after a night out
- Locked out of business after working late
- Broken or jammed lock after a night shift
- Break-in repair or emergency rekeying

We’ve even helped couples locked out after forgetting keys in an Uber… or pets locked inside while grabbing groceries.


4. How We Stay Safe, Fast, and Professional After Dark

- Marked vehicles with full lighting
- ID-confirmation and ownership check before unlocking
- Tools cleaned and reset before every job
- Body cams and dispatch logs for safety and transparency
- Gloves and lighting for clean, visible work

We take your safety seriously—and ours, too. Night work doesn’t mean cutting corners.

6. FAQ: After-Hours Locksmith Service

Q: Is there a higher fee for late-night service?
We keep our pricing fair and transparent. Emergency rates apply but are flat-rate, not “per minute” surprises.

Q: Can you unlock all types of doors and vehicles?
Yes—cars, homes, businesses, key fobs, deadbolts, smart locks, you name it.

Q: How do I verify it's a real locksmith at night?
All our techs carry Pro On The Go IDs, arrive in uniformed vans, and match dispatch info sent to your phone.

Q: What if it’s raining or in a dark alley?
We’re equipped with waterproof gear, LED tactical lighting, and can safely meet you even in tight, poorly lit areas.
