Tenant Lock Change
$85 - $175 | 20-40 minutes | Available 24/7
Triton Locksmith rekey or replace locks between tenants for $85-$175 per unit. Most property managers book us the day a tenant moves out and we're done before the new tenant arrives. Volume pricing available for managers with 5+ properties.
Why Change Locks Between Tenants?
Because you have no idea how many key copies the last tenant made. They might have given one to a boyfriend, a dog walker, a neighbor, or a house cleaner. Those keys still work after they leave. Rekeying takes 20 minutes and costs less than one month's insurance deductible.
Florida statute 83.53 gives landlords the right to change locks between tenancies. It's not legally required, but smart property managers do it every single time. We work with over 30 property management companies across Broward and Palm Beach counties.
Should You Rekey or Replace?
Rekey if the hardware is solid. Replace if it's worn or the tenant damaged it. Most tenant turnovers need rekeying only ($85-$125 per unit). But if the deadbolt is loose, the knob wobbles, or the door frame is damaged, replacement hardware makes more sense. We carry both options in the van.
For property managers who do 10+ turnovers per month, we offer a flat-rate program. Same-day service, consistent pricing, no surprises. Call us to set it up.
