Questions people ask

What does rekeying cost compared to new locks?

Rekeying is almost always the cheaper option, because you keep your locks and only the small pins inside change.

Can all my doors use one key?

Yes, if the locks share a keyway. If not, the odd one out can usually be swapped.

Why does my key stick?

Near the coast it is usually salt corrosion or grit. A dry lubricant often helps. If not, the lock or the key may be worn.

Do smart locks work in Florida weather?

The good ones do. Choose one rated for outdoor use and keep a keyed backup.

Should I rekey after a break-in?

Yes, and check the frame and strike plate too. That is usually where a kicked door gives way.

Can you open my door without damage?

Almost always. Most home lockouts are opened by picking, without drilling.

Need a hand with your locks?
