What lock change means in Seaside
A lock change is different from a rekey. When I change a lock, I pull the old hardware off your door and install a brand new cylinder and deadbolt. I do this when the old lock is physically broken, worn out from the salt air, or if you bought a home in Seaside and don't trust the quality of the existing hardware. You get new keys and a fresh start. It is the only way to be certain that old, damaged locks aren't going to jam on you.

Hardware tiers we stock for Seaside
Every mobile unit carries three tiers of hardware for lock change work in Seaside: entry-level builder-grade, ANSI Grade 2 mid-market, and ANSI Grade 1 commercial. We tell you on the call which tier matches your situation. For coastal addresses on the south side of Santa Rosa Beach, we recommend Grade 1 hardware with marine-grade finishes — salt air shortens the life of standard builder hardware to five to seven years, where a properly specified Grade 1 install lasts twelve to fifteen.
The cylinders we use are bump-resistant by default on entry doors, with optional restricted-keyway upgrades for clients who want key duplication controlled at the locksmith level rather than at any hardware store. For lock change jobs that involve rekeying multiple doors to a single master, we set up the pinning chart on-site and label every cylinder so the property owner has a record of the system.
