Included in every price
- Driving to you anywhere in Plantation — there's no separate trip charge.
- The labor, plus the parts named in that line.
- Testing every key in every lock before we pack up.
- A written, itemized invoice in the business name; it reaches you by text or email.
- Two new keys with every rekeyed or new lock; more are $5 each, cut in the van while you wait.
What can raise the total
- Original hardware. Locks in homes from the 1950s to the 70s may be seized, painted in or an odd size, which adds time.
- Gates and outbuildings. A heavy gate latch or a barn hasp may need parts we quote on the phone (gate locks).
- Impact doors. Replacement parts must match the door's product approval (impact-door locks).
- Car keys: newer models and push-to-start fobs sit at the top of the range.
What never raises it: the clock, the weekend, or a holiday.
An example, not a real job
A 1970s house near Jacaranda with a front knob, a front deadbolt, a side door and the garage entry. Rekeyed to one new key: $95 for the first lock plus $49 for each of the other three — $242 in total.
What we won't do
- Advertise a "$19 service call" and then add the real cost at your door.
- Begin work you haven't approved at a stated price.
- Ask you to pay up front.
How you pay
At the end, once the work is finished and you've checked it — never before, and never at an ATM. Pay with any major credit or debit card, a phone wallet (Apple Pay or Google Pay), Zelle, or cash.
If you change your mind
- You turn down the price we give at the door: you owe nothing.
- The door won't open without harming the lock, and you'd rather we didn't drill: the opening costs you nothing.
- You cancel before Charlie D. arrives: free, whatever the reason.
The six-month promise
For six months our labor is guaranteed: if a lock we put in or repaired stops working properly, we return and repair it at no cost. A new lock also keeps its maker's warranty — Schlage and Kwikset, for example, cover their home locks for life on mechanics and finish and for a year on electronic parts.
