KEY COPYORLANDOKEY COPYORLANDOLock change · Orlando · Baldwin Park · Dr. Phillips · Sanford
Full lock replacement for Orlando homeowners, renters and property managers — new cylinders, new keys, new hardware matched to your door and budget. The standard fix after a move-in, a break-in, or a lease turnover where too many old keys are floating around.
Key Copy Orlando replaces existing door locks with new hardware and new keys for Orlando homes, condos and rentals. That covers full front and back door replacements, upgrading to smart or high-security locks, and keying every new lock in the house alike so one key works every door. If your existing hardware is in good condition, rekeying is usually the cheaper option — we tell you honestly which applies before quoting.
A lock change is a full replacement of a door's lock hardware — cylinder, bolt mechanism and often the exterior trim — with new hardware cut to new keys. It differs from rekeying, which reuses your existing hardware and only changes which key operates it. A lock change is the right call when hardware is damaged, outdated, or you want to upgrade the lock grade or add smart features, not just control who has a working key.
Lock change terms, in plain English — tap a term
Change vs. rekey
A rekey reuses your existing lock and issues new keys; a lock change swaps the hardware entirely. Rekey when the hardware is fine and you just need new keys; change when the hardware itself needs replacing or upgrading.
Keyed alike
Multiple new locks cut so one key operates all of them — front door, back door, garage side entry. We set this up during installation at no extra hardware cost.
Cylinder swap
Replacing just the rotating lock core rather than the entire lock body. Some hardware allows this as a cheaper alternative to full replacement — we check compatibility before quoting.
ANSI/BHMA grade
Locks are graded 1 to 3 for strength. A lock change is the natural time to move from builder-basic Grade 3 hardware up to a Grade 1 deadbolt on your exterior doors.
Strike plate
The metal plate in the door frame the bolt extends into. We replace and reinforce it during a lock change, especially after a break-in attempt where the original strike was damaged.

Six situations where new hardware — not just new keys — is the right move.
Swipe all six
01
Previous owners, agents and contractors may have working keys, and older hardware is a good excuse to upgrade to graded deadbolts before you move in.
02
Property managers and landlords change locks between tenants as standard practice. We handle multi-unit turnovers on a schedule, not just one door at a time.
03
Damaged frames and forced hardware need full replacement, not repair. We install upgraded locks same day and can rekey the rest of the house in the same visit.
Lock repair04
When trust is the issue, not just the number of keys, a full hardware change gives a cleaner break than rekeying alone — especially with smart lock codes involved.
Rekeying locks05
Front door, back door, garage entry, all different keys? We install new hardware keyed alike so one key works every exterior door.
Lock installation06
Coastal humidity and storm exposure corrode older locks past the point of a clean repair. We replace with hardware rated for Florida conditions.
New hardware from every major brand we carry — Schlage, Kwikset, Yale, Baldwin, Emtek and Medeco.

Orlando has one of the highest renter populations in Florida, and that turnover drives a steady stream of lock change requests — property managers who need every unit re-secured between tenants, landlords standardizing hardware across a portfolio, and new homeowners who want a clean start after closing. Gated communities and HOAs in Lake Nona, Baldwin Park and Winter Garden often add their own hardware requirements on top of the standard change.
The Orlando area's short-term rental and vacation-home market adds another layer — owners who need locks changed between guest turnovers or after a management company change, sometimes on a recurring schedule rather than a one-off call. We work with individual homeowners and property managers running dozens of doors the same way: quoted upfront, keyed the way you specify, done on your timeline.
A clean break with old keys — every lock changed, every new key accounted for, in one visit instead of a rolling list of who might still have access.

Rekey if your existing hardware is undamaged and you only need new keys — it is faster and cheaper. Change your locks if the hardware is damaged, outdated, or you want to upgrade the grade or add smart features. Our rekey vs. lock change guide walks through the decision.
Yes. We install multiple new locks keyed alike so one key operates the front door, back door, and any other exterior entries — a common request during move-in.
We dispatch mobile locksmiths across the Orlando metro 24/7, and most lock changes after a break-in are completed the same day, including reinforcing any strike plates damaged during the entry attempt.
It is strongly recommended and a standard requirement for many property managers. Previous tenants, cleaners, and maintenance staff may retain working keys, and a lock change between leases closes that gap completely.
Yes, and we are familiar with the access requirements at communities across Lake Nona, Baldwin Park, and Winter Garden. Some HOAs specify approved hardware — let us know your community's requirements when you call.
A single door typically takes 20–40 minutes. A full-house change across three or four doors, keyed alike, usually finishes within two to three hours in one visit.
No. Lock change service is the same rate 24/7, including late nights, weekends and holidays — no after-hours surcharge.

"Closed on our house in Baldwin Park on a Friday and had the locksmith out that afternoon. Every exterior door changed and keyed alike, plus a smart lock upgrade on the front. One key for everything now."
"We manage six rental units and needed locks changed between tenants on a tight turnaround. They handled the whole schedule without a single delay and the pricing was consistent across every unit."
"After a break-in attempt on our back door, they replaced the damaged hardware the same day and reinforced the strike plate so it actually holds now. Fast, honest, and no upsell pressure."
Full hardware replacement, keyed the way you specify, quoted on the phone and installed same day in most cases.
