Locksmith in Southside, Birmingham

We bring the equipment to you in Southside: key cutting and programming for replacement car keys and fobs, tools for non-destructive car and house lockouts, pinning kits for rekeying on the spot, and hardware for deadbolts, smart locks and commercial doors.

Landmarks and areas that come up regularly on Southside calls include UAB Hospital, Children's of Alabama, the UAB campus and Highland Avenue. Give us a cross street or a nearby business and we will find you.

Five Points South is restaurants, bars, student housing and the northern edge of UAB, which produces a very specific pattern of calls: late-evening car lockouts on street parking, apartment lockouts, and rekeys as leases turn over near campus.

The restaurants and small businesses around the circle keep us working on storefront cylinders, door closers and exit hardware, the equipment that fails fastest on doors used hundreds of times a day.

Five Points South: ZIP code 35205, reached via US-31 (20th Street South) and Red Mountain Expressway (AL-149). Reference points include the Five Points South fountain, Highland Avenue, UAB campus and Pickwick Plaza.

Highland Park is one of Birmingham’s historic neighborhoods, full of early-1900s houses and converted apartment buildings along Highland Avenue. Original hardware is common, and so is the dilemma of wanting modern security without replacing period locks, which is where cylinder upgrades, rekeying and reinforced strikes do most of the work.

Multi-unit conversions here also mean regular tenant-turnover rekeys and lockouts.

Lakeview is an entertainment district with apartments and lofts mixed in, so our calls here skew toward evenings and weekends: car lockouts on street parking and in surface lots, and residential lockouts in the surrounding buildings.

The bars and restaurants need commercial hardware that survives constant use: exit devices, closers and storefront cylinders are recurring work.

Lakeview: ZIP codes 35205 and 35233, reached via 29th Street South, US-31 and I-65. Reference points include the Lakeview District, Rotary Trail and Sloss Furnaces nearby.
