Around The Lock specializes in lock rekeying and replacement for residential and commercial properties. Whether you've lost your keys, moved into a new place, or need to restore security after a break-in, we provide fast on-site service, no hauling hardware to a shop. Our mobile locksmiths are available 24/7 with the tools and parts to handle most jobs in a single visit.
Rekey vs Replace: What's Right for You?
Rekeying changes the internal pins so old keys stop working while the hardware stays in place. It's faster and more affordable than a full replacement. Replacing makes sense when the lock is worn, damaged, or you want to upgrade. We'll tell you which one your situation calls for and give you the price before touching anything.

Rekey or Replace: How We Decide on Arrival
If the lock hardware is in good condition (no sticking, no damage, no visible wear), a rekey is almost always the right call. It's faster, costs less, and delivers the same security result. If the cylinder is worn, the key turns hard, or you want to upgrade to a smart lock or higher-security grade, replacement makes more sense. We check the hardware first and give you the price before touching anything.

Every Job, Done Right
Here's what you get when our team handles it.
Moving Into a New Home or Business
Keys often change hands during a property sale or rental. You never know who has copies of the old keys: previous owners, contractors, or real estate agents. Rekeying guarantees you're the only one with access from day one, giving you complete peace of mind in your new home or business.
Lost, Stolen, or Unaccounted Keys
If your keys have gone missing or you're not sure who may have a copy, don't wait. Rekeying the cylinders instantly renders every existing copy useless, with no need to replace the lock hardware. It's the fastest, most affordable way to restore security and control over your property.
Upgrading to a Single-Key System
Tired of carrying a heavy keychain? We rekey all your matching door locks to operate with a single key. One key for the front door, back door, side entrance, and more, with no more fumbling for the right one. Fast, affordable, and done on-site in a single visit.
Damaged, Sticky, or Worn-Out Locks
If your key is sticking, the lock turns hard, or you can see visible wear on the hardware, rekeying won't fix the underlying issue. In these cases, a full lock replacement restores smooth, reliable security and extends the life of your door hardware significantly.
After a Break-In or Employee Turnover
A security breach, whether a break-in or a departed employee who still has keys, demands an immediate response. We rekey or replace affected locks the same day, ensuring that anyone with an old key can no longer gain access. Fast response, no unnecessary hardware replacement.
Lost Track of Who Has a Key
Contractors, ex-tenants, old roommates, former staff: when you don't know how many copies are out there, one rekey makes every old key useless.

Common Questions
What's the difference between rekeying and changing a lock?
Rekeying changes the internal pins: old keys stop working, new keys work, hardware stays. Replacing swaps the whole lockset. Rekeying is cheaper and faster when the lock itself is in good shape.
How long does a rekey take?
Most rekeys take under 30 minutes per lock. A full front-entry setup (deadbolt and knob) is usually done in one short visit.
Can you rekey all my locks to use the same key?
Yes. If you have multiple locks, we key them alike so one key opens everything.
I just moved in, do I need to replace the locks or just rekey?
Usually rekeying is enough and costs less. We'll check the hardware on arrival and tell you if anything needs replacing.
After a break-in, how fast can you get here?
We're available 24/7. Call us and we dispatch immediately, same process as an emergency lockout.
Are you bonded and insured?
Yes. Around The Lock is fully bonded and insured, BBB-accredited with an A+ rating, serving South Florida since 2021. There's no statewide locksmith license in Florida, but we carry full insurance and are BBB A+ accredited.
