Florida Climate and Hurricane Season Drive the Hardware

For Orlando's residential security, Florida's climate and hurricane season dictate our hardware choices. The hot, humid conditions and salt air near areas like Windermere and Lake Nona can quickly corrode budget zinc and steel finishes, leading to pitted surfaces and seized deadbolts.

That's why we standardize corrosion-resistant finishes, using solid-brass or stainless internals and weather-rated exterior trims.

Hurricane season presents additional challenges. Storms can force entry, and post-storm repairs often require impact-rated hardware to match storm-rated doors and glass, especially in newer builds around Lake Nona and Kissimmee.

Many new homes come with builder-grade strike plates that can't withstand storm loads or forced entry. As a result, we reinforce them with ANSI strike plates and 3-inch screws into the framing, ensuring enhanced security.

Home Rekey – Reset Your Cylinders on Move-In

Lock Change and Replacement ensures superior security, but another key service we offer is Home Rekey, Reset Your Cylinders on Move-In. When you move into a new place, ensuring that only you have access is essential.

Sliding Patio, Garage and Mailbox Locks

Upgrading to Grade 1 deadbolts is just one step in securing your home; attention to sliding patio, garage, and mailbox locks is equally important.

Sliding patio doors, often a vulnerable entry point, need robust locks to prevent easy access. We recommend specialized locks that secure the door in place, offering security without sacrificing style.

Garage doors, another common target, require secure locking mechanisms. We focus on installing high-quality locks that deter break-ins and ensure your vehicles and belongings are safe.

Don't forget about your mailbox. In today's age of increasing package deliveries, securing your mailbox is vital. We install sturdy locks that protect your mail and packages from theft.

Smart Locks for Rental Turnover and Keyless Entry

For rental properties, especially in dynamic areas like Orlando, smart locks are a game changer for smooth turnover and keyless entry. They simplify the process for both property owners and tenants, eliminating the need for physical keys. This is particularly beneficial in busy areas like Kissimmee and the International Drive corridor, where guest turnover is frequent.

Smart locks allow us to change access codes remotely, ensuring security between stays without the hassle of rekeying. Property managers can grant temporary access to cleaning crews or maintenance teams, making operations smoother.

Plus, guests appreciate the convenience of keyless entry, enhancing their overall experience.

With the added protection against Florida's humidity and salt air, our smart locks are built to last. By choosing smart locks, we're not just upgrading security; we're streamlining management and improving guest satisfaction, all while maintaining high-quality security standards.

What a Residential Visit Looks Like

During a residential visit, we prioritize clear communication and efficiency. We start by confirming your address and job details over the phone, offering up-front pricing with no hidden fees.

Once dispatched from within the Orlando metro, we arrive promptly to assess your door and existing hardware. We check the door material, cylinder grade, and strike-plate condition.

For move-in rekeys, we reset each exterior cylinder so you only need one key for all entry points. If you're upgrading, we install Grade 1 hardware and reinforce the strike for enhanced security.

During rental turnovers, we change keys or reset smart-lock codes, ensuring previous guests no longer have access.

We conclude with a thorough test of the locks from both sides and hand over new keys or codes. Our typical visit lasts 15-40 minutes, depending on the number of doors.
