Why We're Captiva's Go-To Locksmith Service

When to Rekey Your Locks in Captiva

There are many situations where rekeying your locks in Captiva is the smart move:

• After moving into a new home: You never know how many copies of the key are floating around from previous owners.
• After a break-up or roommate change: When someone who had a key no longer should, rekeying restores your security immediately.
• Lost or stolen keys: If a key set goes missing in Captiva, rekeying eliminates the risk of unauthorized entry.
• Tenant turnover: Captiva landlords and property managers should rekey between every tenant.
• Employee changes: When a Captiva business has staff turnover, rekeying office locks is essential.

Lock Rekey vs. Lock Replacement in Captiva

Many Captiva homeowners wonder whether they should rekey or replace. Here's the simple comparison:

• Rekey: Keeps existing hardware, changes internal pins, new keys issued. Cost: typically $15-25 per lock. Best when locks are in good condition.
• Replace: Entirely new lock hardware installed. Cost: $50-200+ per lock. Best when locks are damaged, worn, or you want an upgrade.

For most Captiva residents, rekeying is the right choice. Your existing locks are probably in fine shape — you just need new keys and peace of mind.

Master Key Systems for Captiva Properties

A master key system is the ultimate convenience for Captiva property owners and managers. Here's how it works: each lock gets its own unique key, but a single master key opens them all. This is perfect for:

• Captiva apartment buildings where managers need universal access
• Office buildings with different departments needing separate access
• Multi-door homes where one key for everything saves hassle
• Rental properties where landlord access must be maintained

We design and implement master key systems during the rekeying process — it's the most cost-effective time to set one up.

Year-Round Lock Protection in Captiva

Local homeowners are well aware: Lee County's subtropical climate with high humidity and warm temperatures doesn't give lock hardware much of a break. Throughout the year, intense heat can cause metal lock components to expand, leading to sticking or jamming. Smart Captiva homeowners address this with periodic Lock Rekey before problems develop.

Local insight: During intense summer heat, check that your locks operate smoothly — expanding metal can cause jams.

Our Captiva locksmiths live and work in this climate too — we understand what your locks are up against and provide Lock Rekey solutions that hold up to Florida's conditions.
