Rekey Locks is the service Edgewood homeowners call us for most often, and the reason is simple: much of the housing stock here dates from the 1950s through the 1980s, which means decades-old entry hardware, builder-grade knob locksets, and deadbolts that have outlived their usefulness. Central Florida humidity accelerates the problem, corroding brass cylinders and seizing internal pins. When a homeowner in Edgewood finally decides to rekey or upgrade aging locks that the humid air has oxidized, the fix is usually straightforward for a locksmith who carries the right pins and cylinders. Call Ashgrove Locksmith at (833) 713-2331 and we will walk you through what your specific locks need.
Why Edgewood Homes Are Different
Edgewood is a small, largely built-out Orlando-area city where most locksmith work is residential rekey and lockout service for owner-occupied single-family homes rather than the big commercial jobs that dominate nearby Orlando. The housing stock is predominantly mid-century to late-20th-century single-family homes on generous lots, which means a lot of original or decades-old entry hardware that has never been updated. That is a very different job profile from new-construction installs or large apartment complexes. A locksmith working in Edgewood lives on repeat and referral business from a compact, quiet community where one van showing up on a street gets noticed, so doing the job right the first time matters more than it does in a city where you can blend in.
The climate shapes the work too. Central Florida’s humidity and frequent heavy summer rain mean exterior lock hardware corrodes, seizes, and weathers faster here. Afternoon thunderstorms make lockout calls urgent rather than leisurely, because standing in a driveway in a downpour with no way into the house is not something anyone should endure. We see a steady stream of calls from Edgewood homeowners who have put off rekeying an entry lock for years, and the humid air has finally done enough damage that the key turns hard or sticks. Most of the time we can rekey the existing cylinder and get the lock working smoothly again without replacing the whole lockset.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Edgewood Services
The two services Edgewood homeowners call about most, beyond rekeying, are car key replacement and emergency lockout response. Both require a locksmith who actually carries the right programming equipment and hardware, not just a basic key duplicator.
Car Key Replacement in Edgewood
Losing the only key to a car in Edgewood is a special kind of problem because there is no public transit to fall back on, and the nearest dealership may be twenty minutes away in Orlando. We come to the vehicle, cut and program a replacement key on the spot, and handle transponder keys, proximity fobs, and push-to-start systems. The humidity does not make car keys fail more often, but it does make standing outside waiting for help a lot more unpleasant, so we get to Edgewood residential streets quickly. See Car Key Replacement in Edgewood for the full breakdown of what is involved.
Emergency Locksmith in Edgewood
A lockout in Edgewood is usually a residential event: someone locked out of a mid-century home, often during an afternoon thunderstorm, often with a dog still inside. We treat it as an urgent call because the climate here turns an inconvenience into a real problem fast. The same brand expertise we bring to rekeying and high-security hardware comes with us on emergency calls, you are not getting a watered-down after-hours crew. See Emergency Locksmith in Edgewood for the details of how we handle urgent response in this part of Orange County.

Rekey Locks in Edgewood
Rekeying in Edgewood is the smart fix for homeowners who have moved into a mid-century house and have no way of knowing how many copies of the old key are floating around, or who have aging brass hardware that still works but should stop accepting keys they no longer control. The humid air in this climate oxidizes brass and corrodes lock internals faster than almost anywhere else in the country, which means a lot of original entry hardware in Edgewood is reaching the end of its practical life. Rekeying is usually the right first move, not replacing the entire lockset, because the cylinder itself is often still perfectly serviceable once the pins are swapped and the core is lubricated. If you are unsure whether your locks are worth rekeying or need full replacement, we tell you honestly, because the lock brand and condition matter and so does the locksmith who knows both. For the full service picture, see Rekey Locks.
Lock Rekey
Signs you need it
You bought a house in Edgewood and have no idea who still has copies of the old keys, or you recently ended a relationship, a tenant moved out, or a key went missing and you cannot account for it.
What it costs in Edgewood
A standard single-cylinder deadbolt or knob rekey in Edgewood typically runs between $20 and $30 per cylinder, and there is no call-out surcharge added on arrival.
How we do it
We disassemble the cylinder, swap all the pins to a new configuration, cut new keys, and test the cylinder both in the lock and on the bench to confirm it turns smoothly before we leave.
Rekey Door Lock
Signs you need it
Your key turns hard or sticks, the lock accepts a key it should not, or you are still using the same key the previous owner of the house had in 1978.
What it costs in Edgewood
Rekeying a door lock in Edgewood typically costs $20 to $30 per cylinder, with the same rate for knob locksets and deadbolts.
How we do it
We match the new key to any existing key you want to keep using, rekey the cylinder to that configuration, and clean and lubricate the internals so the lock stops sticking from humidity.
Rekey Service
Signs you need it
Multiple locks around the house use different keys and you want them all on one key, or you just want the peace of mind that comes from knowing exactly who has access.
What it costs in Edgewood
Prices in Edgewood range from $20 to $35 per cylinder depending on the lock brand, because a Medeco or Baldwin cylinder takes different pins and more labor than a basic Kwikset.
How we do it
We assess each cylinder individually, replace any worn pins, rekey everything to the same key, and verify every lock on site before we pack up.
Keyed Alike
Signs you need it
You are tired of carrying three different keys for front door, back door, and garage, and want a single key that works all of them.
What it costs in Edgewood
Keying multiple cylinders alike in Edgewood costs $20 to $35 per cylinder, depending on the cylinder type and whether any of the locks are high-security brands like Mul-T-Lock or Baldwin.
How we do it
We re-pin each cylinder to the same keying schedule, cut the matching keys, and test each lock with the new key before calling the job done.

| Item | Typical range in Edgewood |

Is rekeying worth it on old Edgewood locks?
Rekeying is usually worth it if the cylinder is structurally sound and just needs new pins. In Edgewood, where humidity corrodes brass hardware, we tell you honestly when a cylinder has deteriorated enough that replacement makes more sense than rekeying. The quote we give on the phone is the price on the invoice.

No. There is no call-out surcharge added on arrival. The price quoted on the phone before we dispatch is the full price, and it includes the trip to any Edgewood residential address. Call (833) 713-2331 for an exact quote.
Brands We Service in Edgewood
The lock brand matters, and Edgewood homes run the full range: aging Kwikset and Schlage on older doors, Baldwin on higher-end entryways, and the occasional Medeco or Mul-T-Lock on a homeowner who upgraded security years ago and wants it rekeyed rather than replaced. We stock pins, cylinders, and service parts for all of them, which means most rekey and repair jobs in Edgewood are done in a single trip. See our brands for the full list.

What Edgewood Customers Say

— Ryan Whitaker"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
