A good number of Sunrise's planned subdivisions date back to the 1980s and 90s, which means a lot of front doors in the city are still carrying the original builder-installed lock from when the house was new. Across 33313, 33319, 33322, 33323, 33325, and 33326, we split our re-key and install work fairly evenly between decades-old original hardware that's simply worn out and newer resale turnovers.
A lock that's been in daily use since the 1980s has been through a lot of Florida humidity and a lot of key insertions, and by now the pins and springs inside are often loose enough that the lock is easier to pick or bump than it should be. When we're called out to one of these, we generally recommend a full lock replacement rather than a re-key, since the internal wear is in the mechanism itself, not just the pin combination.
Resale turnover is the other big driver: someone buying into an established Sunrise subdivision, where the prior owner's key history is unknown, or moving into a newer gated development where a re-key at closing is just good practice regardless of the community's gate security. We re-key the existing cylinder or install new hardware depending on the lock's age and condition, and we can step up to a higher-security cylinder for owners who want a key that's harder to duplicate without authorization.
We verify ownership or authorization before touching any lock, quote the job before we dispatch, and carry both standard and higher-security residential hardware on the truck. Licensed and insured, serving all of Sunrise.
A number of Sunrise's older subdivision homes are also going through insurance re-inspections tied to their age, and exterior door hardware is often part of that review. If a re-key or upgrade is being driven by an insurance requirement rather than a lost key, let us know when you call, we can install to a grade that satisfies most standard residential policy requirements and describe what was installed for your records.
