Rekeying a home in Tangerine usually means rekeying several locks across one property, not just a single front door. The rural lots here often have a house, a detached garage or workshop, a shed, and a driveway gate, each with its own keyway. Ashgrove Locksmith has served Tangerine since 2017, and we build rekey plans that account for every keyed opening on the property. Call (833) 713-2331 and we’ll walk through what you need before anyone heads your way.
Why Tangerine Homes Are Different
Tangerine sits on the Lake and Orange County line, and the housing reflects that: newer single-family homes on acre-plus lots, older manufactured homes, and rural estates built through the 1990s and 2000s. That mix means we see a lot of builder-grade Kwikset and Schlage hardware that has spent two decades in Florida humidity and is now sticky, corroded, or seized at the cylinder. Exterior locks here take a beating from heavy summer rain, intense UV, and the fine dust that drifts off Citrus-and-lake-country roads. It shortens the life of a lock cylinder and makes rekeying more involved than a simple pin swap.
The other thing about Tangerine is distance. These are dispersed, large-lot calls, not walkable storefront work. A single address often has four or five separate keyed entry points, which changes how we quote and schedule. We plan for a full property walk before we start turning pins, because the shed lock and the gate padlock are usually part of the same job.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Tangerine Services
Rekey work is the call we make most often in Tangerine, but two other services come up regularly enough that they have their own dedicated pages for this area.
Car Key Replacement in Tangerine
Tangerine is a car-dependent community, and losing a transponder key or wearing out a fob puts you stranded. We cut and program replacement keys on site, including proximity keys and transponder chips, across most makes. The rural part matters here: a tow to a dealership in Orlando or Mount Dora eats an afternoon and costs more than programming a key at your driveway. Car Key Replacement in Tangerine covers what we need from you and how the job works on a long driveway in 32777.
Emergency Locksmith in Tangerine
Lockouts happen, and in Tangerine they happen at the end of a long driveway with no neighbors in sight. Our emergency response covers house lockouts, garage entry, and re-securing a property after a break-in attempt. Because the area is rural, the same brand expertise we bring to a scheduled rekey is what you get on an urgent call, not a stripped-down crew. Emergency Locksmith in Tangerine explains response expectations and how to prepare before we arrive.

Rekey Locks in Tangerine
Rekeying in Tangerine is the smart first move after closing on a home, after a tenant leaves, or after a key goes missing. The housing here was largely built in the 1990s and 2000s, which means most deadbolts are builder-grade Kwikset or Schlage cylinders that are mechanically sound but have years of pin wear and humidity exposure. Instead of replacing good hardware, we pull the cylinder, swap the pins to a new key, and you keep the existing trim and finish that matches your doors. A typical Tangerine rekey covers the front door, back door, garage entry, and usually a shed or gate padlock, because rural properties run on multiple keyed points. Rekey Locks work here is a property-level job, not a one-lock fix.
Lock Rekey
Signs you need it
You just bought the house, a key is unaccounted for, or you can’t remember who still has a copy.
What it costs in Tangerine
Rekeying starts around $75 to $160 for the first cylinder, with each additional cylinder adding $20 to $40, and a service call fee of $60 to $90 applies given the rural drive.
How we do it
We pull the cylinder from the lock body, swap the internal pins to match a new key, then reinstall and test the cylinder without replacing the exterior hardware.
Rekey Door Lock
Signs you need it
The deadbolt and knob on the same door use two different keys, or you want every exterior door on one key.
What it costs in Tangerine
Rekeying a single door runs $75 to $160 for the first lock and $20 to $40 for the second lock on the same door, plus the $60 to $90 service call.
How we do it
We match the pins in both the deadbolt and knob to a single new key, then verify both turn smoothly through the full throw.
Keyed Alike
Signs you need it
You carry a separate key for the house, the garage, and the gate, and you want one key that works everything.
What it costs in Tangerine
Keying multiple locks alike is priced per cylinder rekey at $20 to $40 after the first $75 to $160 cylinder, so a five-lock property typically runs $160 to $300 before the service call fee of $60 to $90.
How we do it
We re-pin each cylinder to the same cuts so a single key operates the house, garage, shed, and gate, then hand you copies cut to the new code.
What Rekey Locks Costs in Tangerine
| Item | Typical range in Tangerine |
|---|---|
| First cylinder rekeyed | $75 – $160 |
| Each additional cylinder | $20 – $40 |
| Service call fee | $60 – $90 given the rural drive |
Will rekeying work if my locks are old and corroded?
Usually yes, because rekeying only replaces the internal pins, not the cylinder body. We clean the cylinder and check for worn pin tumblers before re-pinning. If the cylinder is beyond saving, we’ll tell you before doing the work, and the replacement cost is separate.
Can you rekey all the locks on my Tangerine property to one key?
Yes, and that’s how most rekey jobs here go. We re-pin the house, garage, shed, and gate padlock to matching cuts so one key works the whole property. Call (833) 713-2331 for an exact quote once we know how many cylinders are involved.

We work across the full spectrum, from builder-grade Kwikset and Schlage to Medeco, Yale, Baldwin, and Mul-T-Lock high-security cylinders. Parts for common consumer locks stay stocked in our service van, so a standard rekey doesn’t wait on an order. Our brands page explains which platforms we pin, cut, and install.

What Tangerine Customers Say
"Does good work. Card payment was a bit of a production, so have another option handy."
— Emily Novak"Rekey was done properly. One of the keys he cut was slightly stiff in the back door and I had to call him to swap it, which he did without a fuss."
— Ruben Vargas"Programmed a transponder key for a 2014 model that the dealership wanted an absurd amount for. Same key, fraction of the price, took him twenty minutes in my driveway."
— Marcus Mosley
