Picture this: you just closed on a beautiful home off Wekiva Springs Road, moved the last box in from the U-Haul, and you’re finally sitting on the back porch listening to the crickets from Wekiwa Springs State Park. Then it hits you — the previous owners handed you three keys, but who else has copies? The contractor? The house cleaner? The neighbor who watered the plants? In a family neighborhood like Sabal Point or Sweetwater Oaks, that’s the kind of thought that keeps parents up at night. That’s exactly when a quick rekey makes sense, and it’s exactly what we do at A Plus Locksmith & Keys. One call to (407) 536-7717 and a licensed, Insured mobile technician will roll out to your driveway in 32779, usually within 15 to 30 minutes. No towing your locks to a shop, no waiting days for an appointment, no damage to your existing hardware. We rekey your locks right there in your driveway so every old key stops working and you walk back inside with brand-new keys that only you control. It’s the fastest, most affordable way to take real ownership of your home’s security.

Our Rekey Locks in Wekiwa Springs

Rekeying is different from replacing your locks. Instead of ripping out the whole deadbolt or knob, our technician opens up the lock cylinder, swaps the internal pins to a new configuration, and cuts fresh keys to match. Your existing hardware stays — the brushed nickel handle you picked out, the smart deadbolt on the front door, the matching finish on the back gate — but every old key becomes useless. It’s typically 40 to 60 percent cheaper than full lock replacement, and it takes a fraction of the time.

Here’s who we help most often in the 32779 area:

– New homeowners in neighborhoods like Sabal Point, Sweetwater Oaks, Wekiva Cove, and The Springs who just got the keys at closing
– Landlords and property managers turning over rentals between tenants near Wekiva Golf Club or off Markham Woods Road
– Renters whose lease allows a rekey (with landlord permission) after a roommate moves out
– Parents who lost track of how many house keys their teenagers have handed out
– Families after a breakup or divorce who need to secure the home right away
– Homeowners after a break-in attempt who want fast, discreet response
– Anyone who lost a key at Wekiwa Springs State Park, the trails, or on a run through the neighborhood

We handle every common brand — Kwikset, Schlage, Baldwin, Weiser, Yale, Defiant, and higher-security lines like Medeco and Mul-T-Lock. We can also key multiple doors to a single new key, so you’re not juggling three different keys for your front door, back door, and garage entry. If you’ve been meaning to upgrade to a smart deadbolt from August, Schlage Encode, or Yale Assure, ask about combining the rekey with an install — we can do both in the same visit.

How Our Rekey Locks Works in Wekiwa Springs

The process is straightforward, and we’ve refined it over thousands of jobs across Orange and Seminole counties.

Step 1 — The Call. You dial (407) 536-7717. A real person answers, not a call center. We ask how many doors you need rekeyed, the brand of your locks if you know it, and your address in 32779. We give you a firm price range up front — no vague “we’ll tell you when we get there” nonsense.

Step 2 — Dispatch. Our closest mobile van heads your way. From central Wekiwa Springs, we’re usually 15 to 30 minutes out depending on time of day. Rush hour on 434 or I-4 can add a few minutes; late-night calls are often faster because the roads are clear.

Step 3 — On-Site Assessment. The technician arrives in a marked vehicle, shows ID, and walks the property with you. We confirm how many locks, whether any need repair, and whether you want all doors keyed alike (one key for everything) or keyed differently.

Step 4 — The Rekey. Each lock cylinder comes out, gets disassembled on our portable workbench, new pins go in to a fresh combination, and the cylinder goes back on the door. We cut your new keys on the spot using our onboard key machine.

Step 5 — Testing. We test every lock with the new key from both sides of the door — locked, unlocked, deadbolt engaged, deadbolt retracted — to make sure everything runs smooth. We also confirm the old keys no longer work.

Step 6 — Payment and Paperwork. You pay by card, cash, tap, or digital wallet. You get a written receipt and warranty on the work. Most residential rekey jobs wrap up in 20 to 45 minutes total.

Frequently Asked Questions About Rekey Locks in Wekiwa Springs

How much does it cost to rekey locks in Wekiwa Springs?

Most residential rekeys in 32779 fall in the range of $19 to $35 per cylinder plus a service call fee, though the total depends on how many locks you have, the brand, and whether you want all doors keyed alike. A typical three-door home runs a lot less than replacing the same hardware. Call us at (407) 536-7717 for an exact quote before we roll out — we give firm pricing on the phone.

How long does the rekey take?

For a standard home with two to four locks, expect the whole visit to run 20 to 45 minutes from the moment we pull into your driveway. Each cylinder takes about 5 to 10 minutes to rekey once it’s out of the door. If you’re adding smart lock installation or repairing damaged hardware, plan for an extra 15 to 30 minutes per door.

Can you rekey smart locks and electronic deadbolts?

Yes. Most smart deadbolts — Schlage Encode, Kwikset Halo, Yale Assure, August with keypad — still have a physical key cylinder that can be rekeyed. We handle the mechanical rekey and can also walk you through resetting the digital codes so any old PINs your contractor or previous owner used stop working. It’s a full security reset in one visit.

Is rekeying as secure as buying new locks?

For most homeowners, yes. The pin configuration inside a rekeyed lock is just as random and secure as a brand-new one — the security comes from the pins, not the exterior housing. The exception is if your current locks are old, damaged, or low-grade builder-basic hardware. In that case we’ll tell you honestly and give you the option to upgrade.

Do I need to bring my locks to you, or do you come to me?
