What lock change means in WaterColor
A lock change involves removing the existing cylinder or the entire lockset and installing a new one. We swap the internal pins or the whole housing so that old keys no longer function. This process physically resets the security boundary of your property. Whether we rekey the existing hardware or install a fresh deadbolt, the result is a clean break from previous access. We ensure the new mechanism aligns perfectly with your door frame to prevent sticking or premature wear in the coastal humidity.

Hardware tiers we stock for WaterColor
Every mobile unit carries three tiers of hardware for lock change work in WaterColor: 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.
