Residential Locksmith Services — Ocala & Central Florida

Rekeying a standard home with three exterior doors typically costs between $65 and $120 in our service area, depending on the number of locks, their brand, and whether any require special handling. Per-lock pricing is also available if you only want certain doors rekeyed. The cost of rekeying is always significantly less than replacing locks outright, yet provides the same security benefit — all old keys simply stop working. We quote the price upfront before starting, so you always know the total before we begin. Same-day service is available 7 days a week.

Rekeying changes the internal pin configuration of your existing lock cylinder so it works with a new key. The lock hardware stays the same — only the pins change. Lock replacement means removing the entire lock and installing new hardware. Rekeying is the right choice when your lock is in good condition and you simply want new keys — it's faster and costs less. Lock replacement makes sense when your hardware is worn, damaged, low-quality, or you want to upgrade to a higher-security or smart lock. We can advise which is appropriate after a quick look at your existing hardware.

Yes. We install a range of keypad and smart locks including Schlage Encode Plus, Kwikset Halo Touch, Yale Assure, and Ultraloq U-Bolt. These locks range from simple keypad-only models to full Wi-Fi locks that integrate with Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, and Google Home. They allow you to set unique codes for family members, cleaners, or contractors, check lock status remotely, and receive activity alerts. Most standard residential doors in the Ocala area accept these locks without modification. Installation typically takes 20 to 30 minutes per door including app setup.
