Downtown Wimauma, Balm & CR-579
Only one key left for the pickup? We’re a mobile locksmith, so in Wimauma the van comes to you: a long driveway off a county road, a job site, a new street in Berry Bay or Balm Grove. On most makes, gas or diesel, the new key is cut and programmed beside the vehicle. One key for every padlock on the property, a new barn lock, or a rekey after closing? Same call. Read us the VIN, or the make, model and year, for a free quote in English or Spanish.

It’s a big ZIP code. 33598 takes in Wimauma, most of Balm and the eastern edge of Sun City Center, and both SR-674 and US-301 run through it.
SR-674 is the road that ties Ruskin, Sun City Center, Wimauma and Ft. Lonesome together, and West Lake Drive meets it here in Wimauma. Along it: a fob that quits on the drive home, keys locked in at a stop, a second key when a new driver joins the family.
The Wimauma Public Library (Biblioteca Pública de Wimauma) at 5714 North Street opened in 2025 in a former county senior center. It’s the first public library Wimauma has had, and the staff is bilingual. Nearby: copies of the house key and the car key, and a car locked with the keys on the seat.
The north–south highway. The state widened it to six lanes from SR-674 up to Balm Road, a job wrapped up in 2021. Keys locked in at a stop along the highway, and rekeys and master keys for the businesses on it.
Berry Bay is one of the newer subdivisions with Wimauma addresses, and most of Wimauma’s homes went up in 2010 or later. Out here that means rekeys after closing, keypad deadbolts and a lock for the door in from the garage.
Most of Balm shares the 33598 ZIP code, though Balm also has a small ZIP of its own, 33503. Balm Grove’s addresses read Wimauma 33598. Spare keys and fobs for the second and third vehicle in the driveway.
Out toward the Little Manatee River, the water management district’s 579 Trailhead (on County Road 579) and Leonard Lee Trailhead, and Little Manatee River State Park on Lightfoot Road, all have Wimauma addresses. On the land out this way: one key for the gate padlocks and the chain locks, new gate latches, and barn and shed locks rekeyed.
The work
Vehicle keys come first. After that, the house, the gates and the outbuildings.
One key per vehicle works fine until somebody loses it. While one still works, the next is the easy job: we copy it, pair the new chip or fob to the vehicle, and give every key a test start before we leave. See spare car keys, key fob replacement and transponder key programming.
Gas or diesel, most pickup keys get made right at the truck, and that includes Ford Super Duty, Ram HD and Chevy/GMC HD. Call with the make, model and year, and we’ll tell you what yours takes. With no key left, the code comes from the VIN or a decoded lock. A few are dealer-only: on a 2015 or newer Mercedes-Benz, Sprinter vans included, new keys come from the Mercedes dealer, and one look at the VIN on the call settles it. Make by make: Ford pickup keys, Chevy and GMC truck keys and Ram pickup keys; with nothing to copy, see lost car keys.
Shut the pickup with the keys on the seat, or the front door with them inside? We open it without damage and can cut a spare while we’re there. If a key snapped off in the ignition or a door lock, we get the broken piece out, and a worn ignition gets repaired or replaced. See ignition repair.
Not every lock on the property is on the house. We install and rekey locks on barns, sheds, workshops and detached garages, fit new gate latches, and put keypad locks on gates, so whoever needs to get in gets a code instead of a key.
Local highlights
There’s no counter to drive to. The key cutter, the programmer and blanks for most makes and model years travel in the van, so the key gets made where the car sits.
Read the dispatcher the VIN (the year, make and model work too) and the price is settled on the phone, before the van leaves.
Insured, background-checked techs, and a dispatcher who answers in English or Spanish.
Straight answers
The VIN tells us what the truck or car takes, from a plain chip key to a flip key or a push-button fob. Whether a key still works matters as much, because copying a good key is a smaller job than making one from scratch. Give the dispatcher both, and the quote costs nothing.
Say yes on the phone and that’s the price at the truck. Anything extra the tech finds, like a worn ignition, gets its own price, and nothing is added unless you okay it.
A dispatcher answers 305-528-1358 Monday through Saturday, 8am to 8pm, in Spanish or English. Tell them where the truck, the car or the door is (a street in a new subdivision, a job site, a lot on US-301, a gate off a county road, downtown Wimauma), what it is, and how many keys still work. No car or truck key gets cut until the tech has seen a photo ID with the same name as the registration or title.
The van doesn’t go out on Sundays or after 8pm. Lose a key late in the day and the truck can stay locked up where it is until we open. If a kid or a dog is locked in a vehicle, call 911 before you call us.
Wimauma FAQ
Yes. Most of Balm shares the 33598 ZIP code with Wimauma, and we cover all of 33598: downtown Wimauma, SR-674 and West Lake Drive, US-301, Berry Bay and the newer subdivisions, Balm and Balm Grove, County Road 579, and Little Manatee River State Park on Lightfoot Road. Sun City Center, to the west, has a page of its own: Sun City Center locksmith.
On a new build, keys can pass through the builder, the trades and the sales office before you get yours; on a recent resale, through the last owners and whoever they gave copies to. A rekey swaps the pins in the locks you’ve got, so none of those keys turn them, and one new key works them all. More on our residential locksmith page.
Yes. Give the dispatcher the year, make and model (or the VIN) of each vehicle and how many working keys each has, and everything is quoted on that one call. The tech cuts and programs each key at its vehicle and starts the engine with it before moving to the next. See spare car keys.
On models that support it, yes: when we program the replacement, the missing key or fob is erased from the vehicle’s memory, so it can’t start it anymore. Report the theft to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office first. Our Hillsborough car-theft guide lists the 33598 numbers from the Sheriff’s map: 18 in 2025, and 19 from January 1 to October 20, 2026.
Yes, as long as they’re padlocks that can be rekeyed: we set them all to one key, or fit new ones that share a key, so the front gate, the back gate, the chain on the pasture gate and the barn don’t each need their own. Tell the dispatcher how many locks there are, and they’re quoted together.
Sí. The dispatcher takes calls in Spanish or English, so the VIN, the quote and the visit can all be arranged in Spanish. The same page in Spanish: cerrajero en Wimauma.
