What lock rekey means in Old Bay
Most callers haven't thought about lock rekey until they need it. Rekeying existing locks to a new key without replacing the hardware. Gated-resort access specialist — pre-credentialed with Sandestin security for after-hours owner-club calls without guard-shack delay.
On the Walton County side of Old Bay (zip 32550), conditions add their own twist — coastal salt air on the south end, sandy soil that hides moisture against the bottom of jambs, and seasonal humidity swings that move every wood frame in the building. Old Bay is no different.

Hardware tiers we stock for Old Bay
Every mobile unit carries three tiers of hardware for lock rekey 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 rekey 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.
