What lock rekey means in Old Bay
Rekeying changes the internal pins of your existing lock cylinder so that a new key works and the old ones do not. Instead of replacing the entire hardware assembly, we disassemble the lock and rearrange the pins to match a new key cut. This updates your security without the cost of new knobs or deadbolts. It is the most efficient way to ensure that lost keys or previous tenants no longer have access to your Miramar Beach property.

Hardware tiers we stock for Old Bay
Every mobile unit carries three tiers of hardware for lock rekey work in Old Bay: 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 Miramar 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 rekey 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.
