Rekey Locks in Union Park means working with 1970s and 1980s tract homes where the original Kwikset and Schlage builder-grade hardware is now 30 to 50 years old. The heat, humidity, and shifting clay soil here do more damage to locks than attempted break-ins ever will. Ashgrove Locksmith has served Union Park since 2017, and we handle everything from a simple tenant-turnover rekey to full hardware upgrades. If you need a quote on any lock job, call (833) 713-2331.
Why Union Park Homes Are Different
Union Park is an unincorporated east-Orlando suburb built in two main waves: mid-century ranch homes and larger 1980s-to-2000s stucco subdivisions along the Alafaya corridor. The older subdivisions are full of pre-hung hollow-core and solid-core slab doors with original builder entry hardware – Kwikset knobsets and Schlage deadbolts that were installed when the house went up and have never been touched since. Those locks have decades of Florida humidity working against them. Exterior sets corrode from the outside in, and the internal springs and pins wear until keys stop turning cleanly.
The single most common call we get in Union Park is a lock that worked yesterday and won’t turn this morning. More often than not, the cylinder is fine. The real problem is the strike plate: Union Park sits on sandy central Florida soil that shifts with the wet and dry seasons, and slab movement routinely throws door frames a fraction of an inch out of square. When the frame moves, the latch no longer lines up with the strike, and the deadbolt jams against the plate. A locksmith who only swaps cylinders will miss that. We look at the whole door – hinges, strike alignment, and frame square – before touching the lock itself.
Hurricane season adds another layer. Union Park homeowners preparing for June through November often ask about reinforced strike plates and longer mounting screws for their deadbolts. The original strikes on most of these houses are held in with screws barely half an inch long. One solid kick or a strong wind gust on an outward-swinging door can blow through them. Rekeying is the right time to address that.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Union Park Services
Most days in Union Park, our calls split between two jobs: car key replacements for drivers along Alafaya and Colonial, and emergency lockouts anywhere in the 32790 ZIP code. Here’s what each involves.
Car Key Replacement in Union Park
Losing a car key in Union Park is a different problem than it was fifteen years ago. Modern vehicles on the roads here – along Alafaya Trail and up toward Waterford Lakes – use transponder chips, proximity fobs, and push-button-start programming that generic key cutters cannot handle. We cut and program replacement keys on-site for most makes, including transponder and proximity systems. Central Florida’s humidity affects automotive keys too: worn fob buttons and corroded internal contacts are common. For the full scope of what we do, see Car Key Replacement in Union Park.
Emergency Locksmith in Union Park
A house lockout in Union Park in July is not a minor inconvenience. The afternoon heat and humidity mean standing outside a locked door for forty minutes is genuinely uncomfortable – and with slab-shifted frames, forcing the door is the worst thing you can do, because it bends the strike and damages the jamb. We respond to lockouts, broken-key extractions, and post-break-in security calls across Union Park, with the same brand expertise we bring to scheduled work. Emergency calls here are covered in detail at Emergency Locksmith in Union Park.

Rekey Locks in Union Park
Rekeying in Union Park is usually the smartest security move a homeowner can make, and it’s the service we recommend most often for houses in the 32790 ZIP code. When a home changes hands – new buyer, new tenant, a roommate moving out – the old keys are still out there. Rekeying changes the internal pins so old keys stop working while the hardware stays in place, and it costs a fraction of a full lock replacement. For Union Park’s aging Kwikset and Schlage sets, rekeying also lets us clean, lubricate, and re-align parts that have spent decades in Florida humidity. Learn more about the full range at Rekey Locks.
Lock Rekey
Signs you need it
You just bought a home, ended a lease, lost a spare key, or can’t account for every copy you’ve ever handed out.
What it costs in Union Park
Rekeying a lock in Union Park typically runs $65 to $95 per cylinder, with most homes needing two to four cylinders done.
How we do it
We remove the cylinder, swap the internal pins to match a new key, clean and lubricate the mechanism, and test the key in the door before we leave.
Keyed Alike
Signs you need it
You carry three or four different keys for one house and want every exterior door on a single key.
What it costs in Union Park
Keying multiple locks alike runs $65 to $95 for the first cylinder and $20 to $35 per additional cylinder set to the same key.
How we do it
We repin each lock cylinder to match one common key, confirm every door and deadbolt turns smoothly, and hand you as many copies of the new key as you need.
What Rekey Locks Costs in Union Park
| Item | Typical range in Union Park |
|---|---|
| Rekey per cylinder | $65 – $95 |
| Additional cylinders keyed alike | $20 – $35 each |
| New key copies | $5 – $12 each |
How long does a rekey take in Union Park?
A standard three-door rekey in Union Park takes 30 to 60 minutes on site. Corroded cylinders or shifted strikes add time, since we re-align what the door frame has moved. Call (833) 713-2331 for a firm time estimate.
Will rekeying fix a lock that sticks in Union Park’s humidity?
Usually yes. Much of what feels like a failing lock is grit, corrosion, and dry internal parts. During a rekey we clean and lubricate everything, and address strike alignment while we’re there.
Brands We Service in Union Park
We work across the full lock-brand spectrum in Union Park – Kwikset, Schlage, Yale, Baldwin, Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, Sargent, and Abloy. Whether it’s a 1980s builder knobset or a high-security Medeco cylinder, we service it. See our brands for what we stock and support.

What pushes a Union Park quote up is usually the age of the hardware. A 1979 Schlage deadbolt that has never been serviced may need internal replacement parts, and a shifted strike plate takes extra time to re-align properly. Whatever the quote, the price on the phone is the price on the invoice – no call-out surcharge, no bait-and-switch.

FAQs About Locksmith in Union Park
For emergency lockouts in Union Park, we respond same-day with dispatch from the Orlando area. Most residential lockouts are reached within a single call window. For scheduled work like rekeys or keyed-alike jobs, we book a specific time that works for you.
Most Union Park HOAs do not restrict interior lock changes, but some deed-restricted communities require exterior hardware to match a certain finish. If you rent, Florida law allows you to rekey after tenant turnover as long as the owner receives new keys. We can advise on what your situation calls for.
Yes. The figure we give you before dispatch is the figure on your invoice. Union Park’s older hardware sometimes needs unexpected internal parts once we open the lock, and if that happens we call you with the revised number before doing the work, never after.

What Union Park 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
