Frequently asked questions
How is rekeying different from replacing my locks entirely?
Replacing a lock means removing the entire hardware assembly — knob, lever, deadbolt body, or mortise lock case — and installing a new one. Rekeying changes only the internal pin tumblers inside the existing cylinder, so your door hardware, finish, and frame remain untouched. Rekeying is the right choice when your lock hardware is in good working condition and your primary goal is to invalidate old keys. Lock replacement makes more sense when the hardware is damaged, worn, or you want to upgrade to a higher security grade. Our technicians will evaluate your locks on arrival and recommend the most appropriate approach for your situation.
What factors affect the final price of a house rekey?
Several variables shape the total cost: the number of locks being rekeyed, the type and brand of each lock (a standard Kwikset deadbolt differs significantly in complexity from a vintage mortise lock), whether any locks require specialty pin kits or key blanks that must be sourced from our stock, the time of day your call comes in, and travel distance to your Parrish address. We confirm an exact, all-inclusive price with you before any work begins — there are no surprise charges added after the job is done.
Can you rekey my mortise lock on the same visit as my other door locks?
Yes. Mortise lock rekeying is a core part of what our technicians do, not an add-on specialty. We carry the tools to remove the cylinder from the mortise case, repin it, and reinstall it correctly so the latch and deadbolt throws function properly. If your mortise lock is an older style — common in Parrish homes built before the 1990s — let us know when you call so we can confirm we have the appropriate pin kit and key blank profile on our mobile unit before arriving.
Do I need to be home for the entire rekeying visit, or can I leave?
You'll need to be present at the start so our technician can verify ownership of the property — a photo ID and a document linking you to the address (such as a utility bill, lease, or deed) is standard practice and protects everyone. Once identity is confirmed and the scope of work is agreed upon, some customers prefer to go about their day while we work on the exterior locks. We'll walk you through everything when we finish and make sure you test each key before we leave.
Will rekeying damage my door or door frame?
In virtually all standard residential rekeying jobs, the process is entirely non-destructive. Our technicians use proper cylinder removal tools and follower plugs — not improvised methods — so the lock housing, door face bore, and door frame are unaffected. The only exception would be if a lock is already seized, corroded, or was previously forced open, in which case the cylinder itself may be damaged and require replacement rather than rekeying. We'll identify that situation before we start and discuss your options with you.
How quickly can you reach a Parrish address for an emergency rekey?
Our mobile technicians are based in and around the Parrish area, so response times are generally fast — especially for addresses along U.S. 301, Moccasin Wallow Road, and the Fort Hamer corridor. Exact arrival times depend on current demand and where our nearest available technician is located at the time of your call. Call us at (941) 352-8812 any time — day or night — and we'll give you an honest estimated arrival window right on the phone.
