PRO Locksmith provides complete locksmith services in Bay Harbor Islands, FL for homes, condominiums, vehicles, and businesses. We are a fully mobile operation, which means we come to you — to a single-family house on the West Island, a condo walkway on the East Island, or a parking space along Kane Concourse — with the tools and hardware needed to finish the job on the spot. Pricing is upfront, quoted clearly before any work begins, so you always know what a job involves before you say yes.
Whether you need a lock rekeyed after a move, a replacement car key cut and programmed at the curb, or a corroded deadbolt swapped for new hardware, one call handles it. Reach PRO Locksmith at (954) 406-8266 and tell us where you are on the islands.
Emergency Locksmith Service on the Islands
Bay Harbor Islands sits between the Broad Causeway and Indian Creek, and when you are standing outside a locked door here, waiting is not much of an option. Our emergency locksmith Bay Harbor Islands service covers house lockouts, condo unit lockouts, car lockouts, and business lockouts. We open doors with non-destructive entry methods whenever possible, so you get back inside without damage to the lock or the door.
We also secure properties after break-ins and attempted break-ins. If a unit door on one of the East Island buildings has been forced, or a West Island entry shows pry marks, we can repair or replace the damaged hardware and rekey the locks in the same visit so old keys no longer work.
Residential Locksmith for West Island Homes and East Island Condos
The town’s housing splits neatly in two. The West Island is single-family, a mix of original post-war houses and newer replacements, many with canal frontage, seawalls, and dock gates. The East Island carries the multi-family stock, including mid-century buildings with open breezeways and exterior stairs, where unit doors face the weather directly. We rekey locks, change locks, install and upgrade deadbolts, fit smart locks and keyless entry, and repair sliding glass door locks on patios and balconies that face the bay.
Bay air is hard on hardware. Latches stick, cylinders pit, and finishes fail faster here than inland, so we install marine-grade and corrosion-resistant locks suited to waterfront living. One note for condo residents: building entry fobs and elevator fobs are issued by your association or management office, not by a locksmith — but everything on your own unit door, from the deadbolt to the latch and strike, is work we handle.
Car Key Replacement in Bay Harbor Islands
Lost every key to your car? You do not need a tow across the causeway. PRO Locksmith handles car key replacement Bay Harbor Islands drivers can get right where the vehicle sits. We cut and program transponder keys, remote head keys, and proximity fobs on site for most makes and models, and we program key fobs so remote locking and push-button start work as they should.
We also extract broken keys from door locks and ignitions without harming the cylinder, repair worn ignitions that grind or refuse to turn, and open locked vehicles when the keys are sitting on the seat. Everything is done from a mobile unit at your location, whether that is a driveway off 96th Street or a spot near the Kane Concourse shops.
Commercial Locksmith Along Kane Concourse
Kane Concourse is a working street of banks, offices, restaurants, and storefronts, and PRO Locksmith is the commercial locksmith Bay Harbor Islands businesses call to keep those doors dependable. We service aluminum storefront doors and their mortise cylinders, install and repair commercial-grade deadbolts and lever locks, and set up master key systems so an owner carries one key while staff access stays limited.
When an employee leaves or a suite changes tenants, we rekey the whole space in one visit. We also install and service panic bars and exit devices so your egress hardware works properly and your doors close and latch the way code expects them to.
Lock Repair, Rekeying, and the Small Jobs
Not every call is an emergency. A key that needs jiggling, a deadbolt that only throws when you lift the door, a latch that will not catch the strike plate — these small problems get worse until they become lockouts. We repair and adjust existing locks, realign strikes, lubricate and rebuild cylinders, and duplicate house keys and mailbox keys on the spot.
If a lock is worth saving, we save it. If it is too far gone, we tell you plainly and quote the replacement before touching anything, in keeping with our upfront pricing approach. We also handle mailbox locks, cabinet and desk locks, garage side doors, and the dock and yard gates that waterfront lots depend on, so one visit can clear the whole punch list.
Keyless Entry and Security Upgrades
Many island households are seasonal, and juggling keys for housekeepers, contractors, and family who visit a few weeks a year gets messy fast. Smart locks and keypad deadbolts solve that: each person gets a code, codes can be changed or deleted in seconds, and you can check the door from your phone while you are away. We install and configure keyless entry on front doors, garage side doors, and gates, and we pair it with high-quality mechanical deadbolts so the door is strong with or without a battery.
For owners who prefer traditional keys, we offer high-security cylinders with restricted keyways, which means copies cannot be run off at a kiosk without your authorization card.
Where We Work
We cover every street on both islands, from the canal lots and dock gates of the West Island to the condo buildings, town offices, and school area of the East Island, plus the full length of Kane Concourse. Service continues across the bridge and along the barrier island as well, including Bal Harbour and Surfside, so help is genuinely close by.

Bay Harbor Islands, Through a Locksmith’s Eyes
Bay Harbor Islands is not a stretch of coast. It is two man-made islands in Biscayne Bay, dredged and filled in the 1940s under a plan that has largely held since: West Island for single-family houses, East Island for the multi-family buildings, the business district and the town’s public K-8 school. Kane Concourse, at the level of 96th Street, crosses both and is effectively the only through route, linking the Broad Causeway to the mainland on one side and the barrier island across Indian Creek on the other.
Which island an address sits on decides almost everything about the visit. A call on West Island is a house: one owner, one decision, exterior doors, gates, garage side doors, often a seawall or dock at the back of the lot. A call on East Island could be a small association, an office suite, a bank branch or a restaurant, each with a different person authorised to approve it. Two addresses minutes apart in the same town can need entirely different hardware, paperwork and keys.
West Island: Houses, Gates and the Water Behind Them
The single-family island is a loop of streets with the perimeter given over to waterfront lots. The stock is mixed by vintage — original post-war houses, houses reworked several times, and replacement homes built to current standards on the same parcels — so the front door of one house and that of its neighbour may have nothing in common.
Older houses show their age at the opening rather than in the lock: a jamb that no longer holds a strike screw, a bore matching nothing currently sold, hinges shimmed instead of replaced, a deadbolt that stopped throwing once the door moved. Newer houses come with impact-rated exterior assemblies, where leaf, frame, anchorage, glazing and hardware were approved together and adding a cylinder or substituting a lock body can carry the opening outside the configuration it was tested in, so listed preparations and manufacturer-approved kits are the only responsible route. The back of a waterfront lot adds openings inland houses do not have: dock gates, seawall access gates, pool gates that must self-close and self-latch, equipment storage doors spending their life feet from brackish water.
East Island: Mid-Century Walk-Ups and Their Open Corridors
East Island holds one of the region’s larger surviving concentrations of mid-century Miami Modern apartment buildings: low, flat-roofed blocks from the 1940s and 1950s, most of them small, many since converted to condominium.
They share a feature that matters enormously to a locksmith: the circulation is outdoors. Rather than a conditioned interior corridor, residents reach their doors along open breezeways and exterior stairs. Every unit entry door in such a building is an exterior door whether or not it was specified as one, and many were not. Wood leaves swell and shrink until the latch no longer meets the strike. Cylinders on unit doors corrode the way a front door corrodes, not the way an inside door does. Closers on stair and breezeway doors sit fully exposed and need corrosion-resistant covers and sealed bearings, with backcheck set for wind off the bay rather than for an interior hallway. Hinges rust, sag and drop the door out of alignment, which is where a continuous hinge earns its cost on a high-cycle laundry, storage or stair door.
Small Associations and the Key That Opens Everything
These buildings are association-governed, but at a scale that changes the work. A small condominium is run by a volunteer board, sometimes with a management company and sometimes without, rarely with maintenance staff on site. The common openings are few and heavily used: the street gate or lobby door, laundry room, storage or bicycle room, mail alcove, electrical and pump rooms, trash enclosure, roof hatch and pool gate.
The characteristic problem is that one key ends up opening all of them, held by an unknown number of past and present residents, contractors and board members. When a copy goes missing the association faces rekeying everything at once, because there is no hierarchy to rotate a level of. Building one is straightforward at this scale: interchangeable cores on the common doors so a level can change without dismantling hardware, a restricted keyway so copies cannot be cut at a kiosk, a written record of who holds what, and a grand master that stays with the board. Where a building adds an electric strike at the street gate on an intercom, the fail-safe and fail-secure decision still has to be made per opening, and the mechanical override behind it tested rather than assumed.
Kane Concourse: Offices, Banks and Ground-Floor Trade
The business district runs along Kane Concourse and is small, low and mixed — professional offices, banks, restaurants and a little shopfront retail, with newer buildings going up among the older ones. It is a working street rather than a destination retail strip, and the hardware reflects that.
Office buildings here are the master keying jobs. A building master reaching corridor doors, mechanical and electrical rooms and shared restrooms, with each suite on its own change key, lets an owner turn a suite over without touching the rest of the building, and interchangeable cores make that a short task rather than a day. Ground-floor commercial brings aluminium narrow-stile storefront on offset pivots, MS deadlocks, thresholds and surface closers, plus rear service doors that must secure without defeating egress — where a rim exit device beats a deadbolt somebody will eventually leave thrown during business hours. Financial and professional tenants add secured rooms behind the public counter, wanting ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 hardware, restricted-key control and door position switches reporting to the alarm. Any entry the public uses also has to be operable without tight grasping or twisting, at an opening force and closing speed a suite often exceeds once a heavier door goes in.
Bay Air Is Not Ocean Air, and It Is Not Kind Either
No part of this town fronts the Atlantic. Every waterfront here is bay, canal or Indian Creek, so hardware is not taking airborne surf spray the way an oceanfront elevation does. That difference is real and it is often misread as a reprieve. It is not one. Brackish water, humidity and constant air movement across open water still put salt on every exterior cylinder, strike, hinge and lever in town, and what fails first is small: the screws behind a strike, the pivots on a closer arm, the plating under a lever finish.
The answer is to specify by exposure rather than by street. Dock and seawall gates, pool gates, breezeway and stair doors and anything at the water’s edge want solid stainless or bronze, stainless fasteners throughout and a lubrication schedule someone keeps. A suite door inside an office on Kane Concourse does not, and paying for it there wastes money that should have gone on the gate.

Getting On and Off Two Islands
Two bridges and one street define how anyone reaches a job here. The Broad Causeway to the mainland is a toll crossing with a bascule bridge that opens for marine traffic, and Kane Concourse is the only meaningful artery through town, so an open bridge or a lane closure affects everything behind it. Staging matters too: West Island houses sit on narrow residential streets with little room for a van, and Kane Concourse buildings share their frontage with the town’s only commercial traffic. A resident hunting for a locksmith near me is better served by someone who already knows which island the address sits on.
