THE OLD-KEY PROBLEM
Who may still have a key to this Wimauma home?
Closing changes ownership. It does not retrieve, track, or disable old copies.
Unreturned Copies
Tradespeople often receive physical keys. There is no way to verify how many copies were made or if all were returned at closing.
Previous Owner Access
In established Wimauma agricultural communities, previous owners or former pet sitters may still possess working keys to your property.
Hardware Wear
Older locks can degrade over time. Cris evaluates your hardware condition to ensure it still provides reliable protection for your family.
WHAT CHANGES / WHAT STAYS
What does residential rekeying change?
What is lock rekeying? Instead of replacing the entire lock, rekeying involves removing the cylinder and replacing the internal pins. These new pins match a brand-new key, instantly rendering previous keys useless. This is highly effective for Wimauma homeowners wanting to upgrade security without buying new hardware.
Rekeying is beneficial for homes in rapid new construction areas where existing hardware is brand new. By changing only the internal mechanism, you maintain the original look of builder-installed locks while resetting access control. It is a cost-effective way to secure your property.
REKEY OR REPLACE
Which option fits a Wimauma home?
Sound hardware usually needs new key control, not a full replacement.
- Existing hardware stays
- Old keys stop working
- Typical 3–4 lock home: $100–$150
- Best for damaged or corroded locks
- Allows security or smart-lock upgrades
- Requires new hardware
Wimauma residents often wonder whether to rekey or replace locks. Replacement involves purchasing new hardware, which is necessary if locks are severely damaged or if you want an electronic keypad. However, replacement is significantly more expensive and time-consuming.
In contrast, rekeying is the most efficient choice when locks are in good condition. Cris confirms the complete price by phone before travel. Cris can often rekey multiple locks to operate on a single key.
