What lock change means in Seacrest
A lock change involves removing your existing hardware and installing a brand new cylinder and lockset. Unlike rekeying, which only alters the internal pins to fit a new key, a full change replaces the entire mechanism. This eliminates physical wear and wipes away any previous security compromises. We strip the old hardware from the door and mount professional-grade locks that match your door's specifications. This process ensures that every single previous key is permanently deactivated and that your entry points are reset to a factory-new security baseline for your home or business.

Hardware tiers we stock for Seacrest
Every mobile unit carries three tiers of hardware for lock change work in Seacrest: entry-level builder-grade, ANSI Grade 2 mid-market, and ANSI Grade 1 commercial. We tell you on the call which tier matches your situation. For coastal addresses on the south side of Santa Rosa Beach, we recommend Grade 1 hardware with marine-grade finishes — salt air shortens the life of standard builder hardware to five to seven years, where a properly specified Grade 1 install lasts twelve to fifteen.
The cylinders we use are bump-resistant by default on entry doors, with optional restricted-keyway upgrades for clients who want key duplication controlled at the locksmith level rather than at any hardware store. For lock change jobs that involve rekeying multiple doors to a single master, we set up the pinning chart on-site and label every cylinder so the property owner has a record of the system.
