Why this page exists

Being locked out is worse in a language you don’t speak.

It happens in Florianópolis every week: the door closes behind you, the key is inside, the host is three hours away and it’s eleven at night. Most locksmiths here don’t answer in English.

I do. Send a message on WhatsApp: +55 48 98879-9482, in English, and I’ll come to you — 24 hours, every day, including Sundays and holidays.

What I get called for

Four common calls.

01

Locked out of a rental or Airbnb

The door closed behind you and the key is inside. The most common call from visitors. I open it without damaging the lock in most cases.

02

Car key lost or locked inside

Rental car or your own. I can open it and, if the key is really gone, cut and program a new coded key on the spot — no tow truck for most models.

03

Key snapped in the lock

Old locks near the sea break keys. The broken part has to come out without ruining the cylinder, then you need a new key. Same visit.

04

Just moved in and want the lock changed

Usually the answer isn’t a new lock — it’s rekeying the existing one. Cheaper, and just as final.

What I’ll ask you

Proof that you belong there.

Before opening any door I’ll ask you to show you have the right to be there — a booking confirmation on your phone, a rental agreement, an ID matching the address, or someone from the building.

It takes thirty seconds and it’s what separates a locksmith from a burglar. Any professional will ask.

Dúvidas

Perguntas que sempre chegam.

Do you really answer in English?

Yes — WhatsApp text works best. We also speak Spanish.

Will you damage the door?

Opening without damage is always the first attempt. If the lock is already broken and there’s no way around it, I tell you before starting.

How long will you take?

Depends where you are. I’ll give you a real estimate on WhatsApp before I leave.

Can you make a key for a rental car?

Usually yes, but check with the rental company first — some contracts require you to call them.

Do you work on Sundays?

Every day of the year, at any hour.

If you’re standing outside right now.
