Why Southside Has the Highest Lockout Volume in Jacksonville
Southside stretches from the St. Johns River to the Intracoastal Waterway, running south of Downtown and north of Mandarin. It is home to some of the busiest destinations in Northeast Florida.
St. Johns Town Center is a 1.1 million square foot open air shopping center with over 150 stores and restaurants. On any given Saturday, thousands of people are walking between Nordstrom, Dillard’s, the Apple Store, Cheesecake Factory, and dozens of other spots. Hands are full. Phones are buzzing. Shopping bags are piled in arms. Keys get set down on car seats, dropped into purses under bags, or left in cup holders. We get more lockout calls from the Town Center parking lot than any other single location in Jacksonville.
The Avenues Mall on Southside Blvd is the second major shopping center in the area. It draws a steady crowd year round, with lockout calls peaking during holiday shopping season from November through January.
Tinseltown, the entertainment district near the Cinemark theater, generates late night lockout calls from moviegoers and restaurant patrons who realize their keys are missing after dinner.
Then there are the office parks. Deerwood Park, Southpoint, and the corporate complexes along Gate Parkway employ tens of thousands of people. Workers rushing to meetings, running to lunch, or heading out after a long shift lock their keys in their car regularly. We respond to multiple Southside office park lockouts every week.

Response Times to Key Southside Locations
We position technicians across Jacksonville to keep response times fast. Here are estimated arrival times to major Southside destinations.
These times are estimates based on normal traffic. During morning rush (7:30 to 9:00 AM) and evening rush (4:30 to 6:30 PM), JTB and I-95 get congested. We know alternate routes through the Baymeadows back roads and Southside Blvd to avoid the worst traffic.

We charge the same prices on the Southside as we do everywhere else in Jacksonville. No area surcharges. No Southside premium.
All prices quoted on the phone before we drive to your location.
Why People on the Southside Call Us Instead of Other Locksmiths
We Know the Parking Lots
St. Johns Town Center has eight lettered parking sections, a multi level garage, and overflow lots that change during the holidays. When someone calls us from the Town Center panicking and says “I’m near the fountain,” we know exactly where that is. We do not need GPS coordinates. We know the lot.
The same goes for the Avenues Mall, the Mayo Clinic garages, the Baptist South campus, and the Deerwood office buildings. When you are stressed and trying to describe where you are, we already know your location.
We Quote the Full Price on the Phone
Some locksmiths in Jacksonville quote $79 on the phone and charge $300 when they show up. We give you the real, complete price before we start driving. The number we quote is the number you pay.
Same Price at 2am as 2pm
If you are locked out after a late dinner at Town Center or stranded in the Baymeadows area at midnight, we charge the same rate as a midday call. No after hours surcharge. No emergency markup.
