Fort Pierce is the historic anchor of the Treasure Coast with a working port, diverse community, and revitalizing downtown - roughly 50,800 residents (2024 estimate, up from 47,297 in the 2020 census). The community was founded as a military post in 1838 during the Second Seminole War and incorporated as a city in 1901, and today Fort Pierce is county seat of St. Lucie County - home to the courthouse, county administration, and regional government offices.
The city's character - historic Second Street downtown, Fort Pierce City Marina, Fort Pierce Inlet, and Sunrise Theatre - shapes the locksmith work we do here. Car key programming encodes a new key or key fob to work with your vehicle's security system. Modern vehicles (1998+) have immobilizer systems requiring programmed transponder chips - without programming, a cut key won't start the engine even if it physically fits the ignition.
We provide on-site programming using professional equipment.
