§ 02Good to know
Rekey or replace?
Rekeying swaps the pins inside a lock so old keys stop working. The hardware stays. It’s the usual answer after you move into a new home, lose a key or part ways with a roommate. Replacing makes sense when the lock is worn, damaged, cheap builder-grade hardware or the wrong style for the door. The price list shows rekeys starting at $19.00 and basic lock changes starting at $25.00, plus the $29 trip charge and any hardware you choose.
Locks that suit Florida homes
Humidity and salt air are hard on locks in Manatee County. Pins corrode, springs weaken and keys start to drag. A locksmith can service a sticking cylinder before it fails. For exterior doors, an ANSI Grade 1 or Grade 2 deadbolt with a reinforced strike and long screws into the frame is the upgrade that matters most. Sliding doors benefit from a secondary lock or bar.
Tenants, landlords and evictions
Landlords can rekey between tenants and keep one master key for the property. After a lawful eviction, locks can be changed once the court process and the sheriff’s writ are complete. The locksmith will want to see the paperwork. Renters should check their lease before changing hardware. Asking the landlord to rekey before move-in is a reasonable request.
