Long tenure is the defining feature of a lot of Plantation's established neighborhoods, and it creates a specific re-key situation we see often: a family that's owned the same house for twenty, thirty, or more years, with no real record of how many keys have been cut and handed out along the way. Across 33317, 33322, 33323, 33324, 33325, and 33388, that history is usually the reason we're called, not a recent break-in scare.
Over decades, a house tends to accumulate keys in the hands of former contractors, house sitters, adult children who've since moved out, or a prior tenant if the home was ever rented, and there's rarely a full accounting of where they all ended up. A re-key resets that risk without requiring a full hardware replacement in most cases, and it's one of the more straightforward security upgrades a long-tenured homeowner can make.
We also handle a fair number of estate transitions in Plantation, adult children inheriting a family home and wanting it re-keyed before moving in themselves or listing it for sale. That's a re-key we treat like any ownership change: verify the paperwork, then get the locks reset to keys only the current owner holds.
Plantation's long-established HOAs sometimes have architectural guidelines covering visible exterior hardware finish, and we work within those where they apply, matching new hardware to what a community's rules allow. Every job is quoted before dispatch, and we're licensed and insured for residential re-key and lock installation throughout Plantation.
Established Plantation properties sometimes include a detached garage, shed, or guest structure with its own aging lock, in addition to the main house, and those often get overlooked when a homeowner only thinks to address the front door. We re-key or replace hardware on any structure on the property, not just the primary entrance, so a forgotten outbuilding key doesn't stay the weak point after the main house is handled. It's a small detail that's easy to overlook until it matters, and one we ask about on every visit.
