Question 1

How is Fort Walton Locksmith different from the chains?

Accepted Answer

We're locally based, locally licensed, and answer our own phones. No dispatch routing your call across three states to whoever bids cheapest, no surprise trip charges. Quote on the phone, price at the door.

Question 2

Is rekeying cheaper than replacing locks?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Rekeying is usually a fraction of the cost of buying and installing new lock hardware, because the locks themselves stay on the door — only the pin tumblers change.

Question 3

Can you rekey all my Alys Beach locks to one key?

Accepted Answer

Yes. As long as the locks are the same brand and keyway (or compatible keyways), we can rekey them all to a single matched key.

Question 4

Will rekeying weaken my locks?

Accepted Answer

No. Rekeying restores the cylinder to fresh-from-factory pin tension. If anything, a freshly rekeyed lock turns smoother than one that's been worn for years.
