Property in Chumuckla tends to stay in the same hands for a long time, and the key ring grows accordingly. Keys get cut for relatives, for whoever was watching the place one summer, for a contractor who never gave one back. None of that is sinister and all of it is untracked. Re-pinning the cylinders cancels every one of those keys in a single visit while leaving the locks themselves exactly where they are.
The bigger win here is consolidation. A house that has been extended twice usually has doors keyed to three different systems, so the owner carries a bunch of keys and hopes for the best at the back door. We can bring the whole building onto one key, and take in the shop, the gate and the sheds while we are at it if the keyways allow.
Say on the phone how many doors you want covered and whether any currently have their own key. That one answer determines the length of the visit more than anything else. A straightforward Chumuckla house is comfortably under an hour; a full property with outbuildings is longer and we would rather quote that honestly upfront.

Frequently, yes. If the keyways are compatible we re-pin them all to one key. Where an odd lock will not take it, replacing just that one is far cheaper than redoing the whole house.
For this purpose, identical. Security comes from which key operates the cylinder, and re-pinning changes exactly that. New hardware is for locks that are worn out or being upgraded.
Usually. Gates, shops and sheds around Chumuckla come onto the main key often enough that we plan for it. Padlocks too rusted to re-pin get replaced and keyed to match.
