The Key Shop LLC

The Key Shop LLC is a locksmith in Jacksonville, Florida. The company provides complete locksmith service, with work covering locks, keys and safes, and it has served Jacksonville since 1978. It holds a rating of 4.70 from the customers who have reviewed it. The business began in 1978 as Northside Lock & Key, offering locksmith service with multiple service vans and a shop location. In 1994 the shop moved to a larger building on Dunn Avenue on the north side of Jacksonville, and the name was changed to Northside Lock, Key and Safe to reflect growing safe sales. The domain TheKeyshop.com was purchased in 1999, and in 2015 the company passed to the next generation, when the name became The Key Shop LLC. The business describes itself as family owned and operated since 1978 and online since 1999, and as the home of the original 23 1/2 Hour Service. Safe work is a major part of what the shop does. It maintains a safe showroom, stocks a full line of Hollon safes, and publishes safe catalogs, including the Hollon 2025-2026 catalog. The shop advises customers to build layers of security, with an alarm system and good deadbolts on exterior doors, and treats a good safe as the last line of defense for prized possessions. The shop and safe showroom sit at 1314 Eastport Road, Suite A, in the warehouse and distribution center. The location is a short distance from the Mosquito Control government office and from Eastport Road, Pulaski Road and the East Beltway, all within about a quarter mile. San Mateo Little League park is about half a mile away, and The Little Country School is about a mile away. For a Jacksonville locksmith, that combination of a 4.70 rating and more than four decades of continuous service on the city's north side is what the shop is known for.
