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.

In Kings Point, the Mainlands, Woodmont and other associations, unit-door hardware usually has to meet a spec for style and finish. Check with your office first, or tell us the community and we will bring options that fit.
Accessibility is the most common reason for a lock change here. A lever handle instead of a knob, an oversized thumbturn and a keypad instead of a key make a door much easier for anyone with weak grip or limited mobility.
Before replacing, we check the door itself. A bolt that drags is often the strike plate or a door that has shifted, and fixing that is part of a proper install.
In the single-family neighborhoods like the Woodlands and Colony West, smart locks and impact-door hardware are common upgrades. We install them, set them up and show you how to manage codes.

Does my association have to approve?
