Plantation’s older housing stock keeps us busy. The concrete-block ranch homes and two-story builds that line streets like Broward Boulevard and Sunrise Boulevard were finished with builder-grade Kwikset and Schlage locksets that are now 40 to 60 years old. Humidity seeps into those brass cylinders year after year. By June, when homeowners test their locks ahead of hurricane season, we see a spike in calls for seized keyways and binding deadbolts. We’ve been serving Broward County for over 42 years, and our Lock Installation & Rekey team knows the difference between a straightforward rekey and a retrofit that needs custom strike-plate work.

Our Lock Installation & Rekey Services in Plantation

Smart Lock Installation

Smart locks make sense for Plantation’s empty-nesters who travel seasonally and want to let in a house-sitter or check who’s at the door from Bradenton. We install Schlage Encode and Yale Assure models that integrate with existing deadbolt prep in CBS construction, though we often need to deepen or shim the strike pocket to match older frame depths. Wi-Fi connectivity can be spotty in Plantation’s concrete-block walls, so we test signal strength before we mount anything and recommend a Wi-Fi extender if needed. Our flat price covers installation, setup of your app, and a walkthrough before we leave.

Electronic Lock & Keypad Lock Solutions

Keypad locks eliminate the need to hide a key under the planter - a common practice in Plantation’s quiet cul-de-sacs that we strongly discourage. We install Medeco and Schlage electronic deadbolts with programmable codes, which work well for families with adult children who visit from Lauderhill or Fort Lauderdale. The humid climate means we specify models with sealed keypads and corrosion-resistant internals. Battery life runs 8-12 months in normal use; we include a low-battery warning test before we finish.

Key Duplication

Key duplication in Plantation carries a local wrinkle: many HOA communities used restricted keyways for their original master-key systems, and those blanks are often discontinued or require locksmith credentials to purchase. We stock Medeco, Schlage Primus, and standard Kwikset blanks, and we can identify whether your key is a consumer-grade copy or a restricted original. For Plantation’s phased subdivisions, matching one neighbor’s working key often lets us cut duplicates for the whole block from the same blank series - a efficiency that saves everyone time and money.

Biometric Lock Installation

Biometric locks appeal to Plantation homeowners who want keyless entry without remembering a code. We install fingerprint-enabled deadbolts from select manufacturers, though we caution that Miami’s humidity can affect sensor reliability on cheaper units. We specify models with capacitive sensors rather than optical, and we test enrollment in both dry and humid conditions before we consider the job done.

Trusted Brands We Service in Plantation

We carry and install Abloy, Schlage, Kwikset, and Medeco hardware, with common parts stocked for same-day finish on Plantation calls. That means when your 1970s Kwikset deadbolt seizes on a Saturday evening, we likely have the replacement cylinder or full assembly on the truck. We don’t show up to “take a look” and order parts. We quote the flat price, carry the hardware, and complete the job. For specialty items like Mul-T-Lock high-security cylinders or Baldwin estate hardware, we coordinate direct supply and schedule installation once confirmed - still at the flat price quoted upfront.

Common Lock Installation & Rekey Problems We See in Plantation Homes

• Humidity-corroded cylinders. Plantation’s year-round humidity above 70% oxidizes exterior brass lock cylinders, especially on north-facing doors that never fully dry. The key starts to catch, then binds, then seizes completely - usually discovered in late May when homeowners test everything before storm season.
• Non-standard backsets from impact-door retrofits. After Hurricane Andrew, many Plantation owners upgraded to impact-rated entry doors. The new frames often have 2-3/8″ or 2-3/4″ backsets that don’t match the original lock, or strike-plate depths that leave the deadbolt short of full extension. Direct replacement fails; we machine the frame or specify a compatible lock.
• Discontinued HOA master-key profiles. In Plantation’s gated communities, a single broken clubhouse lock can cascade into a complex-wide rekey if the original cylinder profile is no longer manufactured. We maintain relationships with legacy suppliers and can sometimes source NOS (new old stock) cylinders to avoid full system replacement.
• Swollen wood and warped aluminum frames. Summer rains swell Plantation’s original wood door frames and warp aging aluminum replacements, binding deadbolts that once operated smoothly. We plane, shim, or deepen strike pockets as needed - never force a lock into a frame that won’t accept it properly.
