Complete Residential Locksmith Services
Home Lockout Service
Locked out of your house? Left your keys inside accidentally? Lock malfunctioning? We provide fast, professional home lockout service throughout Palm Bay. Using specialized lock picking tools and techniques, we gain entry without damaging your door, lock, or door frame. Most residential lockouts are resolved within minutes of arrival, getting you back inside safely and quickly.
Lock Rekeying
Just moved into a new home in Palm Bay? Concerned about who has copies of your keys? Lock rekeying changes the internal pins of your existing locks so old keys no longer work, while you receive new keys. This is more affordable than full lock replacement when your locks are in good condition. Rekeying is essential after moving, losing keys, ending relationships, or after contractor access to your home. We rekey all standard residential locks on-site, usually completing multi-lock homes in less than an hour.
Deadbolt Installation & Upgrade
Deadbolts are the foundation of residential security. If your Palm Bay home has old, worn deadbolts or only has key-in-knob locks (which are easily defeated), upgrading to modern Grade 1 or Grade 2 deadbolts significantly improves security. We install single-cylinder and double-cylinder deadbolts, and can advise on the best type for your specific doors and security needs. Popular in Palm Bay for homes with windows near doors: double-cylinder deadbolts that require keys on both sides, preventing break-ins where thieves break glass to reach the interior thumb turn.
Smart Lock Installation
Modern smart locks offer convenience and security for Palm Bay homeowners. Unlock your door with your smartphone, provide temporary access codes to guests or service providers, receive alerts when doors are opened, and never worry about losing keys again. We install and program all major smart lock brands including August, Schlage Encode, Yale Assure, Kwikset SmartCode, and others. Our technicians ensure proper installation for Florida’s climate and integrate smart locks with your home automation systems when applicable.
High-Security Lock Installation
Need maximum security for your Palm Bay home? High-security locks feature patented keyways (preventing unauthorized key duplication), drill resistance, pick resistance, and bump-proof cylinders. Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, and Abloy high-security locks provide substantially better protection than standard residential locks. We help Palm Bay homeowners select appropriate high-security solutions based on security needs and budget.
Lock Repair
Locks that stick, are hard to turn, won’t latch properly, or feel loose pose security risks and inconvenience. Before replacing locks, we evaluate whether repair is possible. Many lock problems in Palm Bay homes stem from misaligned doors (common in Florida’s humidity and temperature changes), worn internal components, or simple lack of lubrication. We repair or replace lock components to restore proper function.
Master Key Systems
For Palm Bay landlords or homeowners with multiple properties, master key systems provide convenient access control. We design and install master key systems allowing you to carry one master key that opens all locks, while individual keys only open specific doors. Perfect for rental properties, multi-unit homes, or managing access for family members.
Window Lock Installation
Windows are common entry points for break-ins, especially in ground-floor bedrooms and accessible areas. We install various window lock types appropriate for your window styles – sliding windows, casement windows, double-hung windows – significantly improving home security. Window locks are especially important for Palm Bay homes during hurricane season when securing property is critical.

Residential Locksmith FAQs
How much does it cost to rekey locks in Palm Bay?
Lock rekeying typically costs $20-$35 per lock cylinder, with possible service call fees. Rekeying multiple locks during one visit reduces per-lock costs. We provide exact quotes based on number of locks and their types.
Should I rekey or replace locks when moving?
If existing locks are in good condition (modern, secure, functioning properly), rekeying is more cost-effective and provides the same security as replacement. Replace locks if they’re old, worn, low-security, or you want to upgrade to higher-security or smart locks.
How long does lock installation take?
Standard deadbolt installation typically takes 20-45 minutes per door depending on whether holes exist or need to be drilled. Smart lock installation may take longer for programming. Rekeying multiple locks usually takes 30-60 minutes for an average home.
Can you rekey locks to match one key?
Yes, absolutely. We can rekey all your Palm Bay home’s locks so one key opens everything – front door, back door, garage door, side door. This is very common and much more convenient than carrying multiple keys.
Do smart locks work during power outages?
Yes. Smart locks run on batteries (typically AA or lithium), not household electricity. They function normally during power outages. Most smart locks alert you via app when battery levels are low, giving plenty of warning to replace batteries.
Are smart locks secure?
Quality smart locks from reputable manufacturers (August, Yale, Schlage, Kwikset) are as secure as or more secure than traditional deadbolts. They include the same physical security features plus encrypted digital communications. Concerns about “hacking” are largely overblown for consumer smart locks using modern encryption.
What's the difference between Grade 1, Grade 2, and Grade 3 locks?
These are ANSI/BHMA ratings:
- Grade 1: Highest residential/light commercial security. Withstands 10 strikes of 75 pounds force, 800,000+ cycles. Best for exterior doors.
- Grade 2: Good residential security. Withstands 5 strikes of 75 pounds force, 400,000+ cycles. Acceptable for homes.
- Grade 3: Basic residential. Withstands 2 strikes of 75 pounds force, 200,000 cycles. Minimum acceptable; better to upgrade.
How do I maintain my locks in Florida's climate?
Florida’s humidity and salt air (even inland areas get some effects) can affect locks. Lubricate locks annually with graphite powder or Teflon-based lubricants (never WD-40, which attracts dirt). If locks feel stiff or stick, call us for inspection before they fail completely.
