Keys locked in your car in Starke or Bradford County?
At a fuel stop on US 301, in the fairgrounds lot on festival weekend, or at the boat ramp between the lakes — we'll connect you with a locksmith who comes to the car.
Where Bradford County drivers get locked out
Many car lockouts in Bradford County happen along US 301 — through Lawtey, down Temple Avenue in Starke, past Hampton — because that's where the traffic is. The rest turn up at the places people gather: the county fairgrounds, the boat ramp on the canal between Lake Sampson and Lake Rowell, and the parking areas used by commuters.
Fuel stops on the road between Jacksonville and Gainesville
A quick stop at the pump is when doors lock with the key on the seat, especially in newer cars that lock themselves. If you're traveling, you probably don't know the local street names — just tell us the business name and which side of the highway you're on. Staying with the car helps the locksmith find you quickly. If the station has a clerk, let them know you're waiting on a locksmith so nobody wonders why the car is parked at the pump.
Strawberry Festival weekend at the fairgrounds
Each spring the Bradford County Strawberry Festival fills the fairgrounds on US 301 north of downtown Starke with vendors and visitors. With kids, strollers and bags of berries in hand, keys go into the trunk and stay there. When you call, describe where in the lot you parked and a nearby landmark, and expect the highway to be busier than usual.
At the boat ramp between the lakes
Anglers launching at the Sampson and Rowell ramp southwest of Starke sometimes leave keys in the truck, on the trailer tongue or in a tackle box that ends up in the boat. If you're already on the water when you realize, tie up and call from the ramp, then tell the locksmith which truck and trailer is yours.
Work lots and anyone locked inside
If your car is in a lot at a correctional facility or another secured site, check with security about access before a locksmith heads out, or meet outside the grounds. And whatever the location, if a child, pet or anyone vulnerable is locked in a hot vehicle, call 911 first.
