Your home is the first security decision you ever made, and the locks are what hold it. On the Treasure Coast, that means more than picking a pretty lever at Home Depot. It means thinking about hurricane code, salt-air corrosion, rental turnover rules, HOA-approved finishes, and who might still have a copy of the key from before you moved in.
Treasure Coast Locksmith handles all of it. Every week we rekey homes across Port St. Lucie, Stuart, Vero Beach, and every town in between.
We install Schlage Encode smart locks in Tradition, replace pitted coastal hardware in Jensen Beach condos, and do tenant rekeys for property managers from Fort Pierce to Hobe Sound.
The pages below split the residential cluster into services you can book individually, or you can call us and we will match the right scope to your problem.

What Treasure Coast homeowners actually struggle with
These are the conversations we have on the phone every week. The headache is always different, and the solution is usually simpler than people expect.
Your most common problems - and how we solve them
- You just closed on a home in Tradition or The Reserve. You have no idea how many copies of the keys the previous owners made. A full rekey removes every old key from working the locks.
- A tenant moved out of your Port Salerno rental on short notice. Property management standards say rekey before the next lease starts. We can usually be onsite the same day.
- You are locked out at 11 p.m. with a baby in the car. Our mobile unit rolls with non-destructive pick tools first, so the door opens without damage in most cases.
- A sliding patio door in Jensen Beach seized from salt corrosion. We replace with PVD-coated hardware built for coastal exposure and pressure-treat the track.
- The HOA in Harbour Ridge requires specific finish and brand. We stock the approved hardware and finish before the clubhouse office opens Monday.
- You lost a key to a Schlage or Medeco restricted key system. We have the bitting records and can cut a replacement without re-keying the whole house.
- The garage-to-house door does not meet Florida code for residential fire separation. We install the correct self-closing hardware and labeled lockset.
- A break-in splintered your door frame. We repair the strike area, reinforce with a security strike plate, and install a Grade 1 deadbolt the same visit.
What sets coastal Florida residential locksmithing apart
Coastal Florida is one of the hardest environments in the country on door hardware. Two forces work against every lockset installed near the water.
The first is hurricane code. Florida Building Code section 1609 and the Miami-Dade Product Approval system set performance requirements for impact-rated entry doors and the hardware that locks them. Not every Schlage or Kwikset SKU qualifies.
A coastal lockset must pass large-missile impact testing and cyclic wind pressure testing, and the strike plate and frame reinforcement matter as much as the cylinder.
The second is salt air. ASTM B117 salt spray testing shows standard zinc-alloy locksets corroding within 400 to 600 hours of exposure, which on the Treasure Coast translates to 12 to 24 months for an oceanfront home. Galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals accelerates the failure. PVD-coated brass and solid 316 stainless are the only finishes we recommend within three blocks of the beach.
We spec hardware accordingly. For an oceanfront Vero Beach home we might install a Schlage B660P deadbolt in PVD Life Satin Brass on a reinforced strike, paired with a Von Morris handle set in matching finish. For a Tradition home five miles inland, a standard Schlage BE469 Encode smart lock is perfectly appropriate.
The other piece is rekeying. Every lock cylinder contains a stack of pin tumblers cut to a specific key bitting. Rekeying swaps those pins to match a new key, which instantly defeats every old key without replacing the lock itself.
For a standard five-pin Schlage cylinder, the job takes 8 to 12 minutes per lock. Most Treasure Coast homes have 4 to 7 exterior-keyed cylinders. Budget 60 to 90 minutes for a full-home rekey.

Homeowner tips from 20 years of residential work
- Rekey - don't replace - when you move in. It costs 70% less and defeats every existing key.
- Keep a spare house key off-property with a trusted neighbor or in a monitored lockbox, not under a planter.
- Specify ANSI Grade 1 or Grade 2 deadbolts on exterior doors. Grade 3 is not enough on a coastal entry.
- On sliding patio doors, add a secondary pin lock or security bar. The standard factory latch is weak.
- Within three blocks of the beach, spec PVD-coated or solid-brass hardware. Standard zinc alloy rusts out within 18 months.
- Photograph the underside of your smart lock during install. If you ever need to reset the Wi-Fi, the reset pin location varies by model.

Residential locksmith FAQs
The twelve questions Treasure Coast homeowners ask most often.
How much does it cost to rekey a house across the Treasure Coast?
A standard Treasure Coast home rekey runs $45 per lock plus a service call fee. Standard residential Kwikset and Schlage locks are at the $45 range; commercial and high-security cylinders run higher. Most homes have 4 to 7 exterior-keyed cylinders, so the typical full rekey lands at $150 to $250 all-in.
Smart lock reset or high-security cylinders cost more.
Is rekeying as secure as replacing the locks?
Yes. Rekeying swaps the pin tumblers inside the existing cylinder to match a new key. Every old key instantly stops working.
The lock body, deadbolt, and strike remain. For Grade 1 and Grade 2 locks, rekeying delivers identical security to installing a new cylinder of the same grade.
Do you stock hurricane-rated hardware?
Yes. We stock Miami-Dade NOA approved Schlage and Kwikset Signature Series locksets rated for impact and cyclic wind pressure. The strike plate and frame reinforcement are as important as the lock cylinder, and we include upgraded strike hardware on every coastal installation we do.
Can you install a smart lock on a Florida impact door?
Most residential impact doors accept standard 2-1/8 inch cross-bore smart locks. Fiberglass and steel impact doors need the right latch length, usually 2-3/4 inch backset. We verify the door preparation on arrival and adjust or bore as needed.
Some all-glass doors require a different solution.
How long does it take to rekey a whole house?
Sixty to ninety minutes for a typical four-to-seven-lock home. Rekeying a five-pin Schlage cylinder takes 8 to 12 minutes. Medeco and Mul-T-Lock high-security cylinders take 20 to 30 minutes each.
If you want matched keying with front, back, and garage all on one key, we cut it onsite.
Do you work with HOAs and condo associations?
Yes. We service properties in Harbour Ridge, Sailfish Point, John's Island, PGA Village, Martin Downs, and dozens of other Treasure Coast associations. We know which brands and finishes are approved in each and we can coordinate with the management office if documentation is required.
What brands do you install for home deadbolts?
Schlage B-series, Kwikset SmartKey and Signature Series, Baldwin Estate and Prestige, Medeco Maxum, Mul-T-Lock Hercular, Yale, and Emtek. For coastal homes we default to Schlage PVD finishes. For high-security restricted keying we specify Medeco M3 or Mul-T-Lock MT5+.
Can you cut a key from the lock, without an original key?
Yes. If the old key is lost, we can impression or decode the existing cylinder to cut a working key onsite. For restricted key systems (Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, Schlage Primus) we need to verify you are the authorized key holder before cutting, which is a security feature of those systems.
Do you open home lockouts without damaging the door?
Yes. We use non-destructive entry techniques first on every residential lockout. Pick and bypass tools work on the vast majority of Grade 1 and Grade 2 deadbolts.
Drilling is a last resort and only happens with your permission after non-destructive entry fails.
How fast can you get to me for a Port St. Lucie lockout?
Typical Port St. Lucie response time is 20 to 35 minutes. Tradition and St.
Lucie West are on the quick end, Hutchinson Island adds drawbridge time. Fort Pierce, Stuart, and Vero Beach lockouts are usually 25 to 45 minutes depending on time of day.
Can you install a smart lock without replacing the deadbolt?
Sometimes. Yale Assure Lever and Kwikset Halo Touch can retrofit onto existing deadbolt preps. August Smart Lock installs over the interior thumb turn, keeping your existing exterior cylinder.
We measure the existing prep and confirm compatibility before buying the smart lock.
What is the strongest residential lock you install?
For pure physical attack resistance, a Medeco M3 Maxum Grade 1 deadbolt with a reinforced strike and box-strike plate is hard to beat. For pick resistance, Mul-T-Lock MT5+ has a patented key profile with no known field attacks. Both are overkill for most homes but worth it on vulnerable entries.
