Property west of Crestview turns over steadily, and each sale or tenancy leaves keys behind that nobody accounts for. Rekeying deals with that without spending money on hardware: the cylinder comes out of the door, the pins are changed to suit a fresh key, it goes back in and gets tested. The lock you have kept working for twenty years carries on working, and every key handed out before today becomes scrap metal.
Milligan properties frequently include more than a house. A shop, a pole barn, a hunting camp building near the Yellow River bottoms, each with whatever padlock was cheapest the year it was needed. Bringing those onto the same key as the house is the same visit and turns an unexplainable key ring into one or two keys that you can actually name.
When you call, say how many doors are involved and whether they currently share a key. A typical Milligan house is finished inside an hour. Add outbuildings and it takes longer, which we would rather tell you in advance than discover halfway through.
We cover Milligan and the surrounding Okaloosa County communities.
You have no way of knowing who kept a key to a house you have just bought. Rekeying every exterior door settles it on the first day.
Rental turnover in Milligan is the most common reason for this job. Faster and cheaper than new locks, and it does exactly the same thing.
Buildings that sit empty for months collect keys nobody remembers issuing. Re-pinning them is quick and worth doing on the same trip.
If the hardware still turns properly, rekeying is cheaper and achieves the same security. Replace only when a lock is worn out or being upgraded. We look at your Milligan doors and say which applies before quoting anything.
Yes. Front, back and side doors are straightforward, and shops or pole barns usually come onto the same key too where the keyway allows.
Yes. Small premises along US 90 get rekeyed the same way, and where there are several doors and several staff a simple master system is usually the better answer.
