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.

Rekeying changes the pins inside the cylinder so a new key works and the old ones stop. The lock stays on the door, so it is quick and costs a fraction of new hardware.
On the water, the first question is always corrosion. A cylinder that feels gritty, stiff or rough is not worth rekeying; salt will finish it off soon anyway. We check every lock, rekey the good ones and quote coastal-grade replacements for the rest.
Lighthouse Point homes tend to have many outdoor locks: gates, pool enclosures, dock boxes and sheds. Bringing those onto the same key as the house, where the hardware allows, is one of the most popular jobs we do here.
After a remodel, rekeying is the cheapest security step available. Everyone who worked on the house had access; a rekey ends it.
Common questions
Lighthouse Point rekeying FAQ
What people ask before booking a rekey in Lighthouse Point.
Can my gate and dock locks match my house key?
Often, if they use a compatible keyway. Padlocks and some gate hardware may need replacing to match.
Is it worth rekeying a corroded lock?
Usually not. We rekey sound locks and recommend coastal-grade hardware for corroded ones.
How long does it take?
Minutes per lock. Most homes are done inside an hour, more with many outdoor locks.
Is rekeying cheaper than new locks?
Almost always, as long as the lock is in good shape.
We just finished renovating. Should we rekey?
Yes. It is the simplest way to cut off every key handed out during the work.
Can you do it the same day?
In most cases, yes.
