Search locksmith near me in Broward and you get a screen full of listings. A lot of them are dispatch networks that pass your job to whoever is closest. Here is the honest difference.
01
You get Joe, not a subcontractor
Call 954-994-1984 and you reach Joe, the owner. Joe is also the person who turns up at your door. No call centre, no voicemail, and nobody bidding your job out to a stranger.
02
Licensed & insured in Florida
Fully licensed and insured to work throughout Broward County. Ask for the license number any time. A locksmith who gets cagey about that question is telling you something.
03
The quote is the price
The oldest trick in this trade is a cheap number on the phone that triples once your lock is already drilled. You get a clear quote before any work starts, and that is what you pay. No dispatch fee bolted on at the end.
04
One county, since 2012
KSB works Broward, and only Broward, and has done since 2012. That is over a decade of knowing which buildings run which hardware, where the gate offices are, and how long it really takes to cross the county at five on a Friday.
Straight pricing
What it costs
Starting prices, published up front. Not a teaser rate and not a flat rate: whatever number you are quoted before work begins is the number you pay.

Why every price says from
Because a standard residential deadbolt is not the same job as a high-security cylinder or a multipoint patio door, and five cylinders keyed alike is not the same as five separate rekeys. Tell us the lock and the door when you call and you get a firm number before anyone touches anything. There is no dispatch fee, and no charge for turning up and quoting.

What we check before replacing a lock in Oakland Park
In mid-century concrete-block homes, the door is often the real problem. Frames settle, doors swell in the summer, and a deadbolt stops lining up with its strike. We fix the alignment along with the lock so the new hardware works smoothly and lasts.
Older doors sometimes have odd bore sizes or old hardware holes from past installs. We check before ordering anything, and we can fill, re-bore or adapt the door so a modern lock fits cleanly instead of rattling.
Renovations are everywhere in Oakland Park. If you are flipping or updating a home, replacing every exterior lock with matching hardware on one key is cheaper in one visit than one door at a time, and it gives the new owner a clean start.
For rentals, a solid Grade 2 deadbolt on every exterior door is the sweet spot between cost and security. For landlords who want to stop handing out keys, a keypad deadbolt lets you change codes between tenants in seconds.
Common questions
Oakland Park lock change FAQ
What people ask before replacing hardware in Oakland Park.
Should I replace or just rekey?
If the lock works smoothly, rekey. If it is worn, sticking or decades old, replacing is the better spend. We will tell you which yours is.
My door has to be pushed to lock. Is that the lock?
Usually it is the strike or the door alignment. We fix that along with any new hardware, or sometimes instead of it.
Can you fit new locks on an old door?
Yes. We check the bore and backset and adapt the door if needed so the new lock fits properly.
Can all my new locks use one key?
Yes. New hardware can be keyed alike across every exterior door.
Do you install keypad locks for rentals?
Yes. Keypads let you change codes between tenants without rekeying or collecting keys.
Can I supply my own hardware?
Yes, if it suits the door. Or we bring quality options with us.
