Got Questions?
Frequently Asked Questions: Rekey Locks
Is it cheaper to rekey locks or replace them in Sarasota?
Rekeying is significantly cheaper, costing roughly $20 to $35 per cylinder compared to $60 to $200+ for replacement lock hardware. Rekeying keeps your quality deadbolts intact while rendering old keys useless.
Can all the locks on my Sarasota home be rekeyed to use one single key?
Yes. As long as the lock cylinders share the same internal keyway brand (such as all Schlage or all Kwikset), Carlos can re-pin every deadbolt and knob so one single key opens every door.
How long does it take to rekey a house?
Carlos typically rekeys a standard 4 to 6 cylinder Sarasota home in 45 to 60 minutes directly on-site inside our mobile workshop van.
Do you install smart locks and keypad deadbolts?
Yes. We install and calibrate motorized smart deadbolts (Schlage Encode, Yale Assure, Kwikset Halo), ensuring clean strike plate alignment so the motor never jams.
