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 swaps the small pins inside your existing cylinder so a new key works and every old one stops. The lock stays on the door, which is why it costs far less than new hardware and takes minutes per lock.
Near the ocean, the first thing we check is corrosion. A cylinder that already feels gritty or stiff in Garden Isles, Harbor Village or along A1A is usually better replaced than rekeyed, and we will tell you which locks are worth keeping before we start.
Condo buildings often keep a master or emergency key, and some associations have rules about unit locks. A quick check with your management office before we arrive saves surprises. A rekey does not change how the door looks, so approval is rarely an issue.
For landlords with units in Cresthaven, Kendall Green or Old Pompano, rekeying between tenants is the cheapest security step there is. Collecting keys back tells you nothing about copies; a rekey does.
Common questions
Pompano Beach rekeying FAQ
What people ask before booking a rekey in Pompano Beach.
Is rekeying cheaper than replacing the locks?
Almost always. You keep the hardware and only pay to change the key. If a lock is corroded or failing, replacing that one makes more sense and we will tell you.
How long does a rekey take?
Minutes per lock once we are there. A typical Pompano home or condo is usually done well inside an hour.
Can you key all my doors to one key?
Yes, if the locks share a compatible keyway. If one door has a different brand, we will tell you what it takes to include it.
Do I need condo approval to rekey?
Rarely, because the lock looks exactly the same afterwards. If your building keeps a master key, let the office know you are changing it.
Does salt air affect whether you can rekey?
It can. A badly corroded cylinder is not worth rekeying. We check each lock and only rekey the ones that are still in good shape.
My tenant moved out. Is rekeying enough?
For most landlords, yes. It is the standard turnover step, and any worn lock can be replaced on the same visit.
