In Jacaranda, a house lockout starts at $99 and a rekey at $95 for the first lock, with Charlie D. giving you the price before he leaves. Most homes here were built from the 1970s on, so many still have their first locks — worth a look whether you just moved in or a key has started to stick.

About the neighborhood
Jacaranda grew around Jacaranda Golf Club, a 36-hole club designed in 1970 (GolfN). The area takes in Jacaranda Lakes, Coco Plum, Nob Hill Estates, Villas of Plantation and Pebble Creek (Echo Fine Properties). In Jacaranda Lakes, sample homes date from 1984 to 1990 (Wilder Real Estate Group).
Local agents describe the broader area as non-gated family homes (Wilder Real Estate Group). For you that means no guest list to arrange: we drive straight to the door. The shopping is close too — Jacaranda Square at Pine Island and Sunrise, and Viscaya Shops at Nob Hill and Sunrise (City of Plantation) — handy if you're locked out of the car there instead.
What Jacaranda homes usually need
- A move-in rekey. Every past owner, agent and contractor may still hold a key. See new homeowners.
- Worn deadbolts and knobs from the 1970s and 80s, where a new lock is the better buy (lock change).
- Sliding patio doors whose latch no longer catches (sliding-door locks).
- Pool gates and pool doors that should close and latch on their own (pool-gate latches).
- Mixed brands — one key for the front door, another for the side door; a cylinder swap can put them on one key.
- Garage-to-house doors that were never given a deadbolt. For that door, the Lee County Sheriff's Office recommends a Grade 1 deadbolt keyed on one side, a heavy strike plate and 2½-inch hinge screws (Lee County Sheriff).
- Locked out of the car at the golf club or the plazas? See car lockout.

Rekey or replace in an older Jacaranda house?
Keep the lock and rekey it if it still works smoothly and you like how it looks — new pins, old keys stop working. Replace when the bolt drags, the finish is worn through or you want a smart lock. The older-homes guide goes deeper.
How the job goes

- ID both ways: Charlie D. shows his; you show proof you live there: a photo ID with this street address, or your lease, deed or a utility bill.
