Who handles what in Miami
Ask the locksmith for ID, the company name and a written price before any work begins. Renters should check with the landlord before changing or rekeying locks, since many leases require it. If you share a building entrance, mention it, since common doors are usually the landlord's or the association's call.
Homes in Miami: what pros run into
Miami-Dade and Broward are in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, where roofs, windows and garage doors must meet tougher wind standards. King tides flood low streets in some coastal areas, and sea level rise is part of long-term planning here.
Because the Biscayne Aquifer sits so close to the surface, basements are almost unheard of. Sliding glass doors are common here, and their latches are a frequent weak point.
Salt air corrodes exterior locks quickly. Regular lubrication and stainless or coated hardware help. Summer highs sit near 90 degrees with heavy humidity, and the rainy season runs roughly May through October.

What people ask us
Are high-security locks worth it?
They resist picking and key copying better. Whether it is worth it depends on your situation. Ask what the lock is rated for and whether replacement keys are restricted to the owner or a registered holder.
Which parts of Miami can you help with?
Yes, as long as a pro is free. Miami ZIP codes 33101, 33125, 33126, 33127, 33128 and others are in range, and that includes Flagami, Shenandoah, Overtown and Little Havana.
Will a locksmith need proof I live here?
Usually, yes. Expect to show ID or other proof of residence. This protects you too, since it keeps a stranger from talking a locksmith into opening your door.
What is the difference between rekeying and replacing?
Rekeying changes the pins so old keys stop working, keeping the same hardware. Replacing swaps the lock entirely. Rekeying is usually the cheaper choice when the hardware is in good shape and you simply want old keys to stop working.
We are a referral service, so the pro you speak with sets the schedule and the price. Ask your questions before you agree to anything.
