Rekey Locks is the service Lake Mary homeowners call about most, and it’s rarely because a lock broke. It’s usually because a home changed hands, a tenant moved out, or a key went missing in a subdivision where the HOA wants specific hardware matched. Ashgrove Locksmith has served Lake Mary since 2017, working with everything from builder-grade Kwikset entry sets in 1990s stucco homes to Mul-T-Lock and Baldwin hardware in newer gated communities. If you need a rekey, a car key, or an emergency entry, call (833) 713-2331.
Why Lake Mary Homes Are Different
Lake Mary is a master-planned Seminole County suburb built around Lake Mary Boulevard and the I-4 corridor, and that planning shows in almost every lock we touch. Most housing stock dates from the 1980s through the 2000s: stucco block and wood-frame homes in subdivisions like Timacuan, The Forest, and Magnolia Plantation, with original Kwikset or Schlage entry sets that have now been through twenty or thirty Florida summers. The humidity and daily afternoon thunderstorms cause corrosion inside exterior locksets and swelling in wood door frames, which means the cylinder turns harder and the latch no longer lines up the way it did when the house was built. Gate hardware in controlled-access communities gets the same treatment, plus wear from daily motorized use. Then there’s the HOA layer. Nearly every neighborhood in the 32746 and 32795 ZIP codes has architectural rules that dictate what hardware can go on a front door, and some require specific finishes or brands. When we rekey or replace hardware in Lake Mary, we match what the HOA approved, not just what fits. That’s a different job than a locksmith faces in a city of older single-family homes with no association looking over the shoulder.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Lake Mary Services
Two services dominate the calls we get from Lake Mary: car key replacement and emergency lockout response. Both have dedicated pages with full pricing and local detail, linked below.
Car Key Replacement in Lake Mary
Most homes in Lake Mary have at least two vehicles, and many of those are newer models with transponder chips or proximity fobs. When a key is lost at a corporate campus along the Lake Mary Boulevard corridor or broken in an ignition at a shopping center near I-4, the vehicle is stranded until the key is cut and programmed. We handle transponder, fob, and proximity key work across major makes, and we come to the vehicle rather than asking you to tow it to a dealership. See Car Key Replacement in Lake Mary for full pricing and details.
Emergency Locksmith in Lake Mary
Lockouts in Lake Mary happen in patterns: a garage door opener fails after an afternoon storm, a deadbolt seizes on a swollen front door, or a homeowner locks themselves out during a rush to get on I-4. Our emergency service handles residential and vehicle lockouts across Lake Mary, including gated communities where access coordination matters as much as the lock itself. Read Emergency Locksmith in Lake Mary for what the emergency call includes and what it costs.

Rekey Locks in Lake Mary
Rekeying is the right call for most Lake Mary homes rather than replacing hardware outright. The locks on a 1990s stucco home in a subdivision like The Heathers or Cardinal Oaks are usually solid brass or steel that just needs new pins, not a trip to the landfill. And after a home sale in Lake Mary, where keys may have passed through a realtor, a cleaning crew, a contractor, and the previous owner’s neighbor, a rekey is the only way to know who can still open the front door. Rekey Locks is the service we recommend first in almost every security conversation.
Lock Rekey
Signs you need it
You bought a home in Lake Mary, ended a lease, fired a contractor, or cannot account for every copy of a house key that’s ever been made.
What it costs in Lake Mary
Expect $65 to $120 for a first cylinder and $15 to $30 per additional cylinder when all locks are rekeyed in one visit, depending on brand and keyway.
How we do it
We disassemble each cylinder, replace the pins to match a new key, and test every lock with the new key and the old key, which should no longer operate anything.
Rekey Door Lock
Signs you need it
The front and back doors are on different keys, or the existing deadbolt and knob are worn but the door itself is still in good condition.
What it costs in Lake Mary
Rekeying a front door in Lake Mary typically runs $65 to $100 for the cylinder and $20 to $40 more if the deadbolt and knob need to be keyed alike in the same visit.
How we do it
We confirm the brand and keyway, remove the cylinder, swap the internal pins, and cut new keys so the door works with one smooth turn.
What Rekey Locks Costs in Lake Mary
| Item | Typical range in Lake Mary |
|---|---|
| First cylinder rekey | $65 – $120 |
| Each additional cylinder (same visit) | $15 – $30 |
| Keyed-alike setup | Included with multi-cylinder rekey; new keys extra |
How long does a rekey take in Lake Mary?
Most single-family rekeys in Lake Mary take 30 to 60 minutes for two to five cylinders. The job length is set by the door count and brand, not the distance from our shop. Call (833) 713-2331 and we’ll give you a window before we head out.
Will my HOA allow a rekey?
Yes, rekeying keeps the existing hardware, so there’s no architectural change for an HOA to review. If your Lake Mary association requires a board key or a specific finish, let us know before the visit. Call (833) 713-2331 with your community’s rules.
Brands We Service in Lake Mary
We work across the full lock spectrum: Schlage and Kwikset on the builder-grade end, Yale and Baldwin on the residential high end, and Mul-T-Lock and Sargent for commercial and restricted-key systems. Common pins and cylinders are stocked for same-day Lake Mary jobs. See our brands for the full list.

What Lake Mary Customers Say
"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"Rekeyed every lock in the house the day after we closed. Six doors, all matched to one key, done in about ninety minutes."
— Brooke Schaefer
