What lock change means in WaterSound
A lock change is different from a rekey. When we change a lock, we remove the old hardware entirely and install a brand new deadbolt or knob. This is the only way to go if your current locks are worn out, damaged, or just look outdated. It ensures that no old keys—lost or copied—will ever work again because the internal mechanism is completely new. We handle the removal and the fitting so the new lock closes tight and turns smooth without sticking in the door.

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