Lock Change & Installation in Orlando, FL
Changing a lock means the whole unit comes off the door and a new one goes on — cylinder, bolt, trim, the lot. It is the answer when hardware has reached the end of its life, when a break-in mangled something, or when you want an upgrade the old lock can never become: a heavier bolt, a keypad, a finish that matches the rest of the house. One visit usually covers every door on the list.
What Lock Change & Installation in Orlando includes
- Old hardware off, new hardware on — each door finished in the same visit
- All common hardware types: deadbolts, knob sets, handlesets, electronic locks
- Straight advice on which hardware suits your door and your budget
- Strike and alignment tweaks so the bolt throws without a fight
- New keys cut on the spot and tried in every lock before the van leaves
Worth checking first: if the locks still work well and your only complaint is who might hold a copy of the keys, rekeying the existing cylinders does the same job for less money. The rekey page breaks down when that is the smarter buy.

Lock Change & Installation in Orlando — FAQ
What does changing a lock cost?
Labor generally runs $30–$100 per lock around Orlando; hardware is its own line item — entry-level deadbolts often cost $20–$40, while smart locks spread from about $80 past $300. Ask for one combined figure covering labor and parts, so there is no arithmetic surprise later.
Rekey or replace — which one do I need?
Let the hardware decide. Healthy locks that just need to forget their old keys? Rekey — cheaper, faster, same result. Locks that are worn, cheap, corroded, or simply not what you want on the door? Replacement earns its price. There is a full rekey-versus-replace guide on this site if you want the long version.
I already bought a smart lock — will you fit it?
Generally yes. Keypad deadbolts and the common Wi-Fi and Bluetooth models mount like any deadbolt, plus some setup time for the app and the access codes. Give the model name when you call; if it happens to be a poor match for your door, you will hear that before anything is unboxed.
Do my doors have to match brand-wise?
Matching is not required, but it is the shortcut to one-key convenience: when every exterior door comes from the same brand family, they can all be pinned to a single key. If your doors are a mix today, replacing them is the natural moment to standardize.
