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 your current cylinder so a new key works and every old key stops working on the spot. The lock stays on the door, so it costs a fraction of new hardware and takes minutes per lock.
A lot of Oakland Park homes have been bought, renovated and resold in the last few years. That is good for the neighborhood, but it means many keys passed through many hands during the work. Rekeying after closing is the simple fix.
For landlords with duplexes and small buildings in 33309, North Andrews Gardens and Prospect Gardens, a rekey on every turnover is the cheapest security you can buy. Getting keys back tells you nothing about copies.
Older locks are the one thing to watch. If a cylinder is already worn, sticky or loose in the door, it is not worth rekeying. We check each lock and only rekey the ones in good shape, then quote replacements for the rest.
Common questions
Oakland Park rekeying FAQ
What people ask before booking a rekey in Oakland Park.
Is rekeying cheaper than new locks?
Almost always. You keep the hardware and pay only to change the key. Worn or failing locks are the exception, and we will tell you.
How long does it take?
Minutes per lock. A typical Oakland Park house or duplex unit is usually done inside an hour.
Can my whole place be on one key?
Usually, if the locks share a compatible keyway. If one door has a different brand, we will tell you what it takes.
I own a duplex. Can each unit have its own key and I keep one for both?
Yes. That is a simple master key setup: each tenant opens their own unit and your key opens both.
Is a rekeyed lock as secure as a new one?
Yes, if the lock is in good condition. The security comes from the new pin setup. A worn lock should be replaced instead.
Can you rekey the same day?
In most cases, yes. Tell us how many locks and what brand if you know, and we will give you a price on the phone.
