Locksmiths · the Lowcountry
Lockouts, rekeys and lock changes make up most of this work, and second homes and rentals add a steady share of it. Owners rekey when they change property managers, and many switch to keypad or smart locks so cleaners and guests never carry a physical key. Salt air is hard on exterior hardware too, so locks near the water stiffen and corrode sooner than they would inland.
Get the company name and a price range on the phone before anyone drives out, and make sure the person who arrives works for that company. In a gated community, pass along the gate instructions up front so the call doesn't stall at the guardhouse.
Rekey when the property manager changes, not just when you lose a key. Most folks have handed out more keys over the years than they can account for.
