What lock change means in Old Bay
A lock change replaces the internal cylinder or the entire hardware set. You get new keys and total peace of mind. This differs from rekeying, where only the pins change. We install fresh deadbolts and handles to ensure your home is secure. Old keys stop working immediately. New hardware eliminates wear and tear from old locks. It is the fastest way to secure a property after a move or a lost key. Your security depends on a physical barrier that only you can open.

Hardware tiers we stock for Old Bay
Every mobile unit carries three tiers of hardware for lock change work in Old Bay: 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 Sandestin, 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.
