When to Change a Lock Instead of Rekeying It

When deciding between changing a lock or rekeying it, sometimes replacing the lock is the smarter choice. We've seen this in Orlando homes where issues like failing mechanisms or corrosion make a change necessary.

When a lock's internal components are compromised, rekeying won't solve the problem. Instead, a full replacement provides fresh internals and a new key history, enhancing security.

Consider changing your lock if:

  • The mechanism is failing, like a knob-set that won't latch or a deadbolt that drags.
  • Corrosion from Orlando's humidity seizes the cylinder or rusts the latch springs.
  • There was a break-in or attempted forced entry damaging the lock.
  • You're upgrading from builder-grade hardware to ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 or 2.

Replacing the lock ensures you have a reliable and secure entryway, safeguarding your home and providing security.

Fitting New Hardware to Older Winter Park and College Park Doors

Fitting new hardware to older Winter Park and College Park doors requires careful attention. These historic homes, with their unique architectural features, present challenges like original mortise-lock pockets, non-standard backsets, and solid-wood slabs thicker than today's norms.

Simply swapping out locks can leave unsightly gaps or cause binding issues.

We understand the importance of maintaining the aesthetic integrity of these beautiful doors. Our approach involves using adapters, shimming, and re-boring as needed to ensure a perfect fit for new ANSI/BHMA-graded locks. This meticulous process ensures the locks function smoothly and blend cleanly with the home's existing hardware.

We take pride in matching finishes to avoid a builder-grade look that detracts from the door's charm. By focusing on these details, we ensure that the new locks enhance both security and appearance, providing a solution that stands the test of time.

Post-Break-In Lock Changes – Lock, Strike and Frame Together

In the aftermath of a break-in, securing your home requires more than just changing the lock.

We understand the strike and frame are often the weak points. Most forced entries fail at the strike, not the lock itself. A well-placed kick can split a jamb with a short-screw strike plate, even with a Grade 1 deadbolt.

That's why, after an incident, we install a heavy ANSI strike plate with 3-inch screws into the framing stud. If the jamb is already damaged, we repair or reinforce it to ensure your new hardware is secure.

We also inspect the door slab and hinges for any damage, as attackers often target these areas too.

If your Conway or College Park home has been hit overnight, we can respond the same day to secure your door, assuring you can lock up safely that night.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you handle lock change across Orlando?

Yes — we fit, repair and upgrade this hardware on wood, steel and fiberglass doors for homes and businesses across Orlando. We come to you and finish most jobs the same day.

Do you charge a trip fee?

No trip fee and no hidden charges. You get a fixed quote at the door before any work starts — and if you decide not to go ahead, you don't pay.

Which locks meet insurance and code requirements?

We fit heavy-duty, top-rated deadbolts and high-security cylinders that satisfy common insurer and code requirements. We'll match the right rating to your door and note the brand and standard on your receipt.

How long does the work take?

A single deadbolt or cylinder is usually 20-40 minutes. A full upgrade across front and back doors, or a specialty fitting, runs a bit longer. We carry common hardware in the van for a first-visit fix.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes — our workmanship is guaranteed and we're insured with background-checked technicians. Old hardware is removed and you keep the new keys with a receipt.

Matching the New Lock Grade to Each Door

Choosing the right lock grade for each door is essential to ensuring your home's security, and it goes beyond simply replacing what's already there. We need to evaluate the door's role and the home's overall risk profile. For example, entry doors on Dr. Phillips and Windermere estates require ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 locks due to their exposure and value. New builds in areas like Maitland and Baldwin Park benefit from upgrading basic Grade 3 hardware to Grade 2.

Here's a quick overview:

Door LocationRecommended GradeSpecial Features
Dr. Phillips EstatesGrade 1High-security, UL437 cylinders
Maitland New BuildsGrade 2Standard security upgrade
Downtown CondosGrade 1Hurricane-hardened, additional security
Secondary DoorsGrade 2 or 3Matched to exposure, such as garage or lanai
