What lock change means in Seacrest
A lock change is different from a rekey. Instead of moving pins inside your current cylinder, I pull the old hardware off the door and install a brand new lockset. This is the only way to go if your current locks are worn out, damaged by salt air, or if you just don't trust the quality of the existing hardware. You get a fresh start with new keys and a mechanical guarantee that the lock works exactly as it should from the factory.

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 WaterColor, 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.
