Plantation started as Frederick Peters' 1931 plan of one-acre "long acres" lots and became a city in 1953 (City of Plantation). Plenty of that original housing is still lived in: the median home sold here in the past year was built around 1974 (Momentum). That means deadbolts painted over twice, knobs from three owners ago, and keys nobody can account for. Out west, Plantation Acres adds something few cities have: driveway gates, barns and tack rooms on big lots. Our guide to locks in Plantation's original homes walks through what to keep and what to swap.
Streets under the oaks.
Homes from the 1950s and 60s, many still on their first locks.

Where we work in Plantation
All of Plantation, FL (ZIPs 33313, 33317, 33322, 33323, 33324 and 33325): Plantation Acres, Jacaranda, Hawks Landing, the Historic District, Plantation Isles, Lago Mar, Plantation Park and Midtown. Because Charlie D. is based in the city, a typical arrival takes about 20 minutes from any Plantation address, and he gives you the real time for your street on the call.
Where the city starts and stops. Plantation runs roughly seven miles west from State Road 7 toward Flamingo Road, and an annexation later carried it around the Lago Mar Colony Country Club out to 136th Avenue (City of Plantation). Those six ZIPs reach past the city line in places, and your mail may say Fort Lauderdale, so give us the street and we'll confirm it's inside Plantation.
Smaller neighborhoods we're asked about: Park East north of Broward Blvd and Country Club Estates south of it, both named in the city's housing plan (City of Plantation); Lauderdale West, a 55+ community of about 1,000 homes with no gate (55places); and Plantation Gardens, Plantation Golf Estates, Lago West and Nob Hill Estates from a Plantation subdivision directory (ListSellFL).

Quick answers
Do you charge extra after dark?
No. One list, every hour of the week.
Can you work on an old lock without replacing it?
Often, yes. A sound lock from the 1960s can usually be rekeyed; a worn one is better swapped.
Do you handle electric gates?
We handle the lock, the latch and the manual release. A motor or gate operator is a job for a gate company, and we'll tell you that on the call rather than drive out for nothing.
¿Hablan español?
Sí. Ask on the call or visit our Spanish pages.
