Rekeying locks is the smartest first security move for most Orlando properties, and it matters more here than in drier cities because our humidity corrodes cylinders and our housing stock spans six decades of hardware styles. A 1950s concrete-block bungalow in Colonialtown needs different keyway work than a 2000s stucco subdivision home in Lake Nona, and Ashgrove Locksmith handles both without swapping hardware you don’t need to replace. If you’ve lost track of who holds keys to your Orlando home, rental, or business, call (833) 713-2331 and we’ll get every cylinder working off one controlled set.
Why Orlando Homes Are Different
Orlando’s locksmith trade is shaped by two forces most cities never deal with at once: a year-round vacation-rental market and a hurricane season that runs from June through November. Property managers across the tourism corridor rekey between every guest turnover, and when a storm blows through, we see a spike in calls for forced-entry damage and swollen doors that won’t latch. Central Florida’s humidity and intense sun work on lock hardware constantly- cylinders corrode from the inside, wood doors absorb moisture and shift against the frame, and sliding glass door tracks fill with grit that wears down latch mechanisms. Older neighborhoods like Audubon Park and College Park still have original mortise locks from the 1950s and 60s, while the 1980s-through-2000s stucco subdivisions that ring the city were mostly built with builder-grade Kwikset knobs that were never rekeyed after the original owners moved in. During hurricane warnings, we also get calls to install or verify impact-rated hardware, especially in the wind-borne debris region that covers much of Orange County.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Orlando Services
Two services generate most of the calls we field across Orlando: car key replacement and emergency response. Both are covered below, each with its own dedicated page for the full picture.
Car Key Replacement in Orlando
Losing or breaking a car key in Orlando means more than a tow truck bill- modern vehicles use transponder chips, proximity fobs, and push-to-start systems that require programming, not just a cut edge. We cut and program replacement keys for most makes and models on-site, whether you’re parked at a resort on International Drive or in your driveway in Winter Park. The humidity here shortens key fob battery life and heat-stressed electronics fail more often than in northern climates. See Car Key Replacement in Orlando for full details on transponder programming, key fob replacement, and what it costs.
Emergency Locksmith in Orlando
Lockouts happen at bad moments- a deadbolt fails right before a hurricane, a key snaps in the lock of a short-term rental with guests waiting, or a sliding door jams shut at 11pm. Our emergency response covers residential and commercial lockouts, broken key extraction, and securing doors after break-in attempts. In Orlando’s rental-heavy market, we also handle the urgent calls property managers make when turnover day hits and the previous guest never returned a key. For the full scope of what counts as an emergency and how quickly we can reach your area, see Emergency Locksmith in Orlando.

Rekey Locks in Orlando
Rekeying a lock means changing the internal pins so the old key stops working and a new key takes over- the hardware stays on the door, but every previous key becomes useless. In Orlando, where short-term rentals rotate guests weekly and 1950s bungalows have changed hands dozens of times, rekeying is the fastest way to take control of who can enter a property without replacing a single lock. Ashgrove has served Orlando since 2017, and most rekey jobs take under an hour per door. For a deeper look at when rekeying beats replacement, see Rekey Locks.
Lock Rekey
Signs you need it
You’ve bought a home, ended a lease, fired a property manager, or simply can’t account for every copy of your key in Orlando’s turnover-heavy housing market.
What it costs in Orlando
Standard lock rekeying in Orlando typically runs $25 – $50 per cylinder, with most homes needing three to five cylinders done in one visit.
How we do it
We remove each cylinder, swap the pins to match a new key, test the key in both directions, and reinstall the hardware in the door.
Keyed Alike
Signs you need it
Your front door, back door, and garage entry all take different keys and you want one key to operate every lock on your Orlando property.
What it costs in Orlando
Keying multiple locks alike in Orlando runs $25 – $50 per cylinder, with no extra charge for having all cylinders matched to the same key during a single visit.
How we do it
We pin every cylinder to the same key cuts, so one key operates all included locks, then test each one before we leave.
What Rekey Locks Costs in Orlando
| Item | Typical range in Orlando |
|---|---|
| Standard lock rekey (per cylinder) | $25 – $50 |
| Keyed alike (per cylinder, same visit) | $25 – $50 |
| Rekey after lost or stolen keys (per cylinder) | $25 – $50 |
Full pricing is quoted on the phone before we send a technician, and that’s the price on your invoice. No call-out surcharge added when we arrive.
Does rekeying make old keys useless?
Yes. Rekeying replaces the internal pins so every previously issued key stops working. The lock hardware stays on the door, but only the new key operates it. Call (833) 713-2331 for an exact Orlando quote.
Can you rekey locks the same day in Orlando?
In most cases we can rekey locks the same day you call, especially during weekday hours. High-volume periods during hurricane season or holiday weeks can push scheduling a day out. Call (833) 713-2331 and we’ll tell you what today looks like.
Brands We Service in Orlando
Ashgrove works across the full hardware spectrum, from everyday Schlage and Kwikset to high-security Medeco, Yale, Baldwin, and Mul-T-Lock systems that most Orlando locksmiths don’t touch. We stock common pins, cylinders, and parts for these brands locally, which means most rekey and repair jobs finish in a single visit. See our brands for the full list and what each one means for your security.
Pricing for Locksmith in Orlando, FL
| Service | Typical range in Orlando |
|---|---|
| Standard lock rekey (per cylinder) | $25 – $50 |
| Keyed alike (per cylinder, same visit) | $25 – $50 |
| Rekey after lost or stolen keys (per cylinder) | $25 – $50 |
| Car key replacement (basic, non-transponder) | $95 – $175 |
| Car key replacement (transponder key) | $150 – $350 |
| Car key replacement (proximity fob / push-to-start) | $250 – $600 |
| Emergency lockout (residential, basic) | $75 – $150 |
| Emergency lockout (commercial, business hours) | $100 – $175 |
| Broken key extraction | $65 – $130 |
| Ignition cylinder replacement | $130 – $350 |
Orlando pricing pushes higher when jobs involve high-security brands like Medeco or Mul-T-Lock (restricted keyways cost more to pin), or when a lock has corroded badly enough from humidity that the cylinder needs replacement rather than rekeying. Every quote is given on the phone before dispatch, and the price on your invoice matches that quote exactly.

FAQs About Locksmith in Orlando
Most Orlando calls see a technician arrive within 30 to 60 minutes, but we give you an honest window when you call rather than a promise that ignores traffic. Afternoon rush on I-4 and tourist-season gridlock around the attractions can stretch that. Call (833) 713-2331 and we’ll tell you where we are right then.
No permit is required to rekey locks on a property you own or manage in Orlando. HOAs generally don’t regulate rekeying for interior and front-door hardware, though some gated communities have rules about lock appearance on street-facing doors. We can rekey the hardware without changing its look.
Both. Rekeying and car key replacement are scheduled at a time that works for you, including weekday appointments across Orlando. Emergency lockouts and break-in securing run whenever they happen. Call (833) 713-2331 for scheduling or an urgent response.

What Orlando Customers Say
"Commercial job, panic bar and a master key system for a small office. Clean install and clear documentation of which key opens what."
— Sanjay Rao"The old deadbolt was mounted crooked by whoever lived here before and had been sticking for years. He redrilled and reset it properly rather than just replacing the hardware."
— Jamal Carter"Told me over the phone that what I needed was a five dollar part from the hardware store, not a locksmith. I called him back a month later for real work because of that."
— Ryan Whitaker
