Rekey Locks in Delray Beach, FL
Closing on a canal home near Del Harbour, settling into a bungalow in the Del-Ida Park Historic District, or back at your Rainberry Bay villa for the season? LockFox rekeys home and condo locks throughout Delray Beach on-site, keeping the hardware already on your doors.
When Delray Beach homes get rekeyed
Del-Ida Park & historic bungalows
North of downtown along Swinton Avenue, the National Register-listed Del-Ida Park Historic District is full of 1920s bungalows that have changed hands more than once, often with mismatched hardware layered on over the decades.
Rainberry Bay & other 55+ communities
Age-restricted, gated communities west of I-95 such as Rainberry Bay see a run of rekeys every fall as seasonal owners return and want their own fresh keys before anyone else settles in for the year.
Tropic Palms canal homes
The canal streets of Tropic Palms, south of downtown off Germantown Road, mix longtime owners with recent buyers, and a rekey is usually one of the first calls after closing on a waterfront lot there.
Del Harbour waterfront
Homes along the Del Harbour canals north of downtown, near Federal Highway, often come with a dock gate and a side entry in addition to the front door, all worth keying alike in one visit.
Downtown rental turnover
Apartments and small multifamily buildings near downtown change tenants often enough that a rekey is routine move-out paperwork for a property manager, not an afterthought.
New homeowner move-in
No matter the street, closings drive more of our Delray Beach rekey calls than anything else — sellers, agents, inspectors and cleaners all carried a key before you did.
Rekey or replace?
A cylinder that still turns smoothly and looks the way you want is a good candidate for a rekey: we swap the pins inside, cut a fresh key, and every copy left over from a closing, a lease, or last season's Rainberry Bay crowd stops working. The lock itself never comes off the door.
Replacement is the better move once a lock has seized up, corroded from years near the Intracoastal, or you'd rather switch to a smart deadbolt than keep turning a worn key. Send a photo or let us take a look on site, and we'll say plainly which route fits.
HOA & association rules
Plenty of communities west of I-95, along with some condo boards nearer the coast, spell out what an exterior lock is allowed to look like — finish, style, sometimes the brand — while leaving what's inside the pins entirely up to you. Pull up your governing documents before a big style change, or just tell us the look you want matched.
One key for a whole property
Count the locking points on a typical Delray Beach property and the list runs longer than the front door: a service entry off the garage, a gate to the pool or dock, and, on plenty of older homes near Del-Ida Park and Tropic Palms, a rear door added on well after the house was originally built. A rekey is a chance to bring all of those under one key instead of carrying a separate one for each.
What to prepare
- Something tying you to the address — a driver's license, closing paperwork, a lease, or a signed management agreement
- A landlord's sign-off first, if you're renting
- Clear pictures of each lock face, with any maker's mark you can see
- Whatever your community spells out about exterior hardware, if that applies to your address
- A rough number for how many finished keys you'd like handed back
What affects the price
- How many cylinders need new pins — a knob and a deadbolt on the same door count twice
- A straight rekey versus swapping in new hardware
- Bridging two brands onto a single key, which sometimes means changing a cylinder rather than just repinning it — common on older Del-Ida Park homes with layers of replaced hardware
- Getting a technician past a gate or guardhouse, at a community like Rainberry Bay
- The count of finished keys you leave with
Send a couple of photos of your locks to (754) 328-1958 and we'll price it out.

Rekey FAQ — Delray Beach
Do you rekey bungalows in the Del-Ida Park Historic District?
Yes. Older Del-Ida Park homes often carry mismatched hardware from repairs made over the years, so we check the keyways on site before cutting anything, and let you know if a cylinder swap is needed to run one door off another's key.
We just arrived at Rainberry Bay for the season. Can you rekey before we settle in?
Yes, and many Rainberry Bay owners schedule it for the same week they arrive, once the guardhouse has the visit on its list. Call ahead with your address so we can plan the gate check-in.
We closed on a canal home in Tropic Palms. Should the locks be rekeyed right away?
Yes. Sellers, agents, contractors and anyone who walked the dock or pool area before closing may still have a key or a gate code. Rekeying the house and any dock or side gate clears all of that at once.
Does our HOA need to approve a rekey?
What's inside your cylinder is entirely your call. Some communities west of I-95 do have a say over what the outside of the lock looks like, so it's worth checking your governing documents if you're changing more than just the pins.
Our front and back doors are different brands. Can they share one key?
Not directly — different brands cut different keyways. What we can usually do is swap one cylinder for the other's, so the front door, the back, and a dock or garage entry all turn on the same key.
Do you handle rental turnover rekeys for downtown landlords?
Yes. Property managers near downtown routinely schedule a rekey between tenants; we can key several units alike or keep each on its own key, whichever your building uses.
