Move-In Security and Why You Should Rekey First
The single most important thing a new homeowner or tenant in West Palm Beach can do is change who has access to the property. You rarely know how many copies of the old keys are floating around with previous owners, contractors, real estate agents, dog walkers, or former roommates. Before you unpack the boxes, schedule a rekey so the only keys that work are the ones in your hand.
Rekeying resets the pins inside your existing locks to match a brand new key, which immediately retires every old copy. It is fast, affordable, and lets you keep the hardware you already have. We can usually rekey an entire single-family home in one visit and hand you a fresh set of matching keys before we leave.
Rekey Versus Replace: Choosing the Right Option
Homeowners often assume a security upgrade means buying all new locks, but that is not always the case. If your current deadbolts and knobs are solid, properly aligned, and free of rust or wear, rekeying is the smarter spend. If a lock is worn, damaged by the salt air common near the Intracoastal, outdated, or simply does not match the look you want, replacement makes more sense.
We walk the property with you, test each lock, and give an honest recommendation rather than pushing the most expensive route. Many homes end up with a mix: rekey the good hardware, replace the worn pieces, and match everything to a single key for convenience.
Deadbolt Grades and Quality Hardware
Not all deadbolts offer the same protection. Builder-grade locks installed when a house went up are often the bare minimum, while a Grade 1 or Grade 2 deadbolt resists kicking, prying, and drilling far better. We help you understand the difference between residential grades and select hardware that fits both your door and your budget.
For doors that face the street or a quiet side yard, we often recommend a higher grade deadbolt paired with reinforced strike plates and longer screws that anchor into the door frame studs. Small upgrades like these make a forced entry dramatically harder.
Smart Locks and Keyless Entry for the Home
Smart locks have come a long way, and many Palm Beach County families love being able to unlock the door with a code, a phone, or a fingerprint. We install and set up keypad deadbolts and connected locks, show you how to add and remove user codes, and make sure the lock is mounted and aligned so it works reliably in the humid climate.
Keypad entry is ideal for households juggling kids, guests, cleaners, and short-term rental turnovers, since you can give each person their own code and delete it later. We will also be candid about which models hold up well and which are not worth the money.
Lockouts, Broken Keys, and Lock Repair
Getting locked out of your own home is frustrating, especially late at night. Our mobile techs perform damage-free home entry and get you back inside without destroying the lock or the door. If a key snapped off in the cylinder, we extract the broken piece and cut you a replacement on the spot.
We also repair sticking, loose, or slow locks before they fail completely. A deadbolt that is getting harder to turn is usually warning you, and a quick adjustment or rebuild now is far cheaper than an emergency lockout later.
Sliding Doors, Patio Locks, Mailboxes, and HOA Considerations
Florida homes have features many locksmiths overlook. Sliding glass doors and patio doors need proper locks and security bars so they cannot be lifted off their tracks. Mailbox locks wear out or get lost and we can rekey or replace them. We secure these everyday weak points that burglars know to check.
If you live in an HOA community, condo, or gated neighborhood in Palm Beach County, there may be rules about exterior hardware finishes, lockbox use, or approved lock styles. We are familiar with these requirements and can help you stay compliant while still securing your unit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I rekey or replace my locks?
If the hardware is in good shape, rekeying is faster and cheaper. We'll tell you honestly which makes sense.
Can you match all my locks to one key?
Yes - we can rekey compatible locks so a single key opens them all.
I just moved in. What should I do first?
Rekey every exterior lock so old keys held by previous owners or contractors no longer work.

Yes. We install and set up keypad and connected locks and show you how to manage user codes.
Can you get me back into my house without breaking the lock?
Yes. We use non-destructive entry methods that leave your lock and door intact.
