We know Naranja’s houses. The mid-century ranches off SW 137th Avenue, the newer infill near US-1, the side entries and back doors that older floor plans often have. That matters because rekeying here rarely means one lock. It usually means three or four, often different brands, sometimes different keyways. We quote per cylinder, so the price is the price before the truck rolls.

Why Preston Locksmith & Security Is Naranja’s Preferred Rekey Locks Company

We started in 2008, and the way we work hasn’t changed: a live person answers the phone, the price goes in writing before anything starts, and the tech who shows up is background-checked and in uniform. Naranja homeowners tell us the same thing over and over: they’ve been burned by a cheap quote that swelled at the door. Our Rekey Locks team doesn’t work that way. The per-cylinder price we quote on the phone is the per-cylinder price on the invoice.

Every job in Naranja carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right, we come back and make it right. No charge, no argument. That promise is stamped on every repair we do, from a single deadbolt off SW 184th Street to a full-house rekey near Naranja Lakes. You also get before-and-after photos of the work and a digital invoice with a pay link, so there’s a paper trail for everything.

Kevin Yoon leads our team, and the standard he set is simple: treat every Naranja lock like it’s on his own front door. We’re equipped for Kwikset, Schlage, Medeco, and Abloy hardware, and we stock common pins and cylinders locally so most rekeys in Naranja are same-visit, not “we’ll order the part and come back.”

Locksmith Rekey in Naranja

A locksmith rekey in Naranja means swapping the internal pins and springs inside your existing lock cylinder so the old key stops working and a new key operates the lock. No new hardware, no drilling, no replacing the deadbolt. The job takes about 10 – 15 minutes per cylinder in most cases, and it runs $25 – $45 per cylinder depending on the brand and keyway. For a Naranja ranch with three exterior doors, you’re usually looking at $75 – $135 total.

Mixed-Keyway Houses Are Normal Here

Naranja’s housing stock is a mix of mid-century ranch homes and newer infill, so rekeys often require matching old Kwikset and Schlage pin-and-tumbler cylinders to newer ANSI Grade 1 deadbolts. Hardware that doesn’t always share the same keyway. Because many doors were replaced or upgraded piecemeal over the decades, a single Naranja rekey can mean juggling two or three different lock cylinder profiles in one house. We quote each cylinder separately so you know exactly what you’re paying for before we start.

What We Actually Do At the Door

The tech removes the cylinder, swaps the pins to match a new key, tests the lock, and moves to the next door. We don’t drill functioning locks. A rekey should never require destructive entry on a working lock, and if another company tells you it does, that’s a red flag. We carry the follower tools and pin kits to rekey Schlage, Kwikset, Medeco, Yale, and Abloy cylinders cleanly.

Rekey Door Lock in Naranja

A rekey door lock job in Naranja covers any exterior door: front, back, side, garage entry. The work is the same – pins get swapped, old keys die, new keys work – and the price is the same per-cylinder structure: $25 – $45 each, written down before we start. Most Naranja homes have three exterior doors, which means three cylinders, which means about $75 – $135 total.

The Back Door Gets Rekeyed Too

We got a call from a homeowner on SW 184th Street in Naranja who’d just closed on a 1960s ranch and wanted every old key dead. Our tech found a mix of original Kwikset knobs and a newer Schlage deadbolt on the front door, plus a Yale mortise lock on the back. We rekeyed all three cylinders to a single new key, swapped the worn pins, and left the hardware in place – total time under an hour, no drilling, no replacement parts.

That’s the standard in Naranja. Every entry gets rekeyed, not just the front door. Cheap rekey jobs fail when the tech only swaps the cylinder on the front door and leaves the back door on the old key. In Naranja, where side and back entries are common, that’s a security gap the homeowner didn’t pay for. We don’t leave gaps.

Mortise Locks on Older Naranja Homes

Some Naranja homes still have mortise locks, especially back doors on original ranch builds. A Yale mortise lock rekeys slightly differently than a standard deadbolt because the cylinder sits inside a larger lock body. It’s still $25 – $45 range for most Yale mortise cylinders, but there are a few older profiles that take a little more labor. We’ll tell you at the quote stage if your lock falls into that category. No surprises at the door.

Trusted Brands We Service in Naranja

We’re trained and equipped for Schlage, Kwikset, Medeco, Yale, Baldwin, Mul-T-Lock, Sargent, and Abloy hardware. For Naranja customers, that matters because the housing stock is mixed-era. A 1960s ranch might have original Kwikset knobs, a Schlage deadbolt added in the 1990s, and a Yale mortise lock from who knows when. We stock common Schlage and Kwikset pins locally, plus Medeco and Abloy pin kits for the higher-security cylinders some Naranja homeowners have added. Fast turnaround, no waiting on a parts order for a standard rekey.

Common Rekey Locks Problems We See in Naranja Homes

• Mixed keyways across one house. Original Kwikset knobs paired with a newer Schlage deadbolt don’t share the same keyway, so a single key won’t operate both unless the cylinders are properly rekeyed and matched. Some outfits quote a low per-cylinder price, then hit you with a “specialty cylinder” upcharge on the spot. We agree on the per-cylinder price before dispatch, for every cylinder in the house.
• Back doors left on the old key. A tech rekeys the front door, hands you a new key, and leaves. Your old key still opens the back door. We see this in Naranja regularly, especially on older ranch floor plans with three or four exterior doors. We rekey every entry, every time.
• Worn pins causing sticky keys. Decades of humidity and use wear down the pins inside older Naranja lock cylinders. If your key sticks or needs a wiggle to turn, new pins during the rekey fix it. We swap worn pins as part of the job, not as an add-on.
• Drilled cylinders from a previous bad rekey. Some outfits drill a lock cylinder during a rekey because they lack the right follower tools. A rekey should never require destructive entry on a working lock. If a past job left your cylinder drilled or damaged, we can replace just the cylinder, not the entire lock.
