Lock installation and rekeying in Palm Beach Gardens typically runs $120-$450 depending on hardware grade and HOA requirements, with most jobs completed same-day.

We’ve been serving Palm Beach Gardens for over 42 years.

Our Lock Installation & Rekey team doesn’t guess. We check first, then we install.

Our Lock Installation & Rekey Services in Palm Beach Gardens
Smart Lock Installation
Smart lock installation in Palm Beach Gardens demands extra preparation. Many gated communities here require pre-approval of any electronic entry hardware, and some restrict Wi-Fi-enabled models over hardwired keypad systems. We verify your HOA’s approved list before quoting. In newer custom homes in Mirasol and Frenchman’s Creek, we regularly install Schlage Encode and Yale Assure locks that integrate with existing home automation panels. Typical smart lock installation in Palm Beach Gardens runs $280-$520 including hardware, programming, and rekeying to match your existing keyway.
Keyless Entry Systems
Keyless entry appeals to Palm Beach Gardens’s large seasonal-resident population - no keys to misplace during a five-month absence, no rekeying after summer renters. We install standalone keypad deadbolts and full multi-door systems for estate properties in BallenIsles. Because salt air corrodes mechanical keypads faster than electronic touchscreens, we specify marine-grade finishes for homes within a mile of the Intracoastal Waterway. Keyless entry installation in Palm Beach Gardens typically costs $220-$480.
Keypad Lock Installation
Keypad locks remain the workhorse for Palm Beach Gardens rental properties and seasonal homes. We see heavy demand each October when snowbirds return to find their keypad batteries dead or codes forgotten after summer vacancy. Our Palm Beach Gardens customers appreciate that we program backup master codes and document them for property managers. Basic keypad lock installation runs $180-$350; retrofitting a keypad to an existing grade-1 deadbolt starts at $140.
Biometric Lock Installation
Biometric locks - fingerprint readers - are gaining traction in Palm Beach Gardens’s higher-end custom builds, particularly in Frenchman’s Creek where homeowners want keyless convenience without code-sharing risks. We install and service fingerprint-enabled deadbolts from select manufacturers, though we note candidly: coastal humidity can affect reader reliability on entry doors fully exposed to weather. We typically recommend covered porch installations or hybrid biometric/keypad units for Palm Beach Gardens’s climate. Biometric installation runs $340-$620.
Key Duplication
Key duplication in Palm Beach Gardens isn’t always straightforward. HOA-controlled communities often use restricted keyways - Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, or Schlage Primus - that require authorization and sometimes dealer credentials to copy. We carry the blanks and the licensing to duplicate these restricted keys on-site, including for properties in PGA National and Mirasol where standard hardware-store duplication is refused. Restricted key duplication runs $18-$45 per key; standard residential keys are $4-$8.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach Gardens
We stock and install Schlage, Medeco, Kwikset, and Baldwin hardware on every Palm Beach Gardens service call. These aren’t arbitrary choices - they’re the brands most frequently specified by Palm Beach Gardens HOAs, and they’re the brands whose parts we can source same-day when corrosion or failure strikes. For a 1988 CBS home on Tillinghast Drive inside PGA National, we replaced a seized legacy Schlage deadbolt that had corroded from salt air exposure during the owner’s five-month summer absence. We fitted a new grade-1 Baldwin deadbolt per HOA guidelines and rekeyed all exterior locks to match, completing the job in under two hours despite the mandatory gatehouse check-in. That’s the difference between a technician who knows Palm Beach Gardens and one who doesn’t.
Common Lock Installation & Rekey Problems We See in Palm Beach Gardens Homes
- Corroded cylinders from salt air. Homes near the Intracoastal Waterway, especially those vacant through summer, develop brass and zinc corrosion that causes keys to snap or cylinders to seize entirely. We inspect for pitting before attempting rekeying.
- HOA hardware rejection. Installing a non-approved finish or brand in BallenIsles or PGA National means a second visit, new parts, and doubled labor. We verify community specs before we quote.
- Legacy deadbolts with no replacement parts. Original 1980s-1990s hardware in Palm Beach Gardens’s older CBS homes often has discontinued cylinders or obsolete backset dimensions. We carry retrofit adapters and modern grade-1 replacements that fit without door modification.
- Forgotten keypad codes after seasonal absence. Every October we field dozens of calls from returning snowbirds locked out of their own homes. We maintain override procedures for most keypad brands and can factory-reset or replace units on the spot.

FAQs - Lock Installation & Rekey in Palm Beach Gardens
Yes, most gated communities in Palm Beach Gardens require pre-approval for hardware changes, and some mandate specific brands or finishes. We contact your property manager or review your community’s specification sheet before quoting, so the lock we install passes inspection the first time. Call (844) 956-4715 and we’ll verify your HOA requirements during the initial call.
Salt air and humidity accelerate corrosion of brass and zinc lock components, particularly in homes within a mile of the Intracoastal Waterway or left vacant through summer. Exterior hardware can seize or pit well ahead of manufacturer life-expectancy, which is why we recommend seasonal lock inspections for seasonal residents. Call (844) 956-4715 to schedule an inspection before your next extended absence.
Yes, we can rekey or replace locks without an existing key by picking the cylinder or drilling and replacing the core if corrosion has seized it. We handle this situation every October when Palm Beach Gardens snowbirds return to find keys missing after summer rental turnover or simple misplacement - our Automotive Locksmith - Palm Beach Gardens team also sees similar key issues with seasonal vehicles. Call (844) 956-4715 - we stock the common keyways used in Palm Beach Gardens communities and can rekey same-day.
Most Palm Beach Gardens HOAs approve Schlage, Yale, and Baldwin smart locks; some restrict Wi-Fi models in favor of Z-Wave or hardwired keypads. We maintain current specification sheets for major communities along PGA Boulevard and verify compatibility before installation. Call (844) 956-4715 with your community name and we’ll confirm approved models during your free estimate.
Probably not, and we won’t waste your money trying. Many 1980s deadbolts in Palm Beach Gardens’s original CBS construction used imported or discontinued hardware with no available cylinders, tailpieces, or strike plates. We carry modern grade-1 retrofit deadbolts that fit the existing door prep without modification, often for less than the labor cost of hunting obsolete parts. Call (844) 956-4715 and we’ll assess whether repair or replacement makes sense for your specific door.
