What lock change means in WaterColor
A lock change isn't a rekey. When I change a lock, I pull the old hardware off your door and install a brand new cylinder and deadbolt. This is the only way to go if your current locks are worn out, damaged, or if you just don't trust the quality of the old hardware. It gives you a fresh start with new keys and a guaranteed mechanical reset. Whether you are moving into a new place in WaterColor or upgrading old gear, swapping the hardware ensures total security.

Hardware tiers we stock for WaterColor
Every mobile unit carries three tiers of hardware for lock change work in WaterColor: 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.
