What lock change means in Dune Allen
A lock change involves removing the existing cylinder or the entire lockset and replacing it with a new, functioning mechanism. Unlike rekeying, which alters the internal pins to fit a new key, a change replaces the hardware entirely. This process physically eliminates old keyways and clears any mechanical wear or damage from the previous lock. We disassemble the strike plate and bolt, install the fresh assembly, and calibrate the latch for a flush fit against your door frame, ensuring the new lock operates smoothly and securely.

Hardware tiers we stock for Dune Allen
Every mobile unit carries three tiers of hardware for lock change work in Dune Allen: entry-level builder-grade, ANSI Grade 2 mid-market, and ANSI Grade 1 commercial. We tell you on the call which tier matches your situation. For coastal addresses on the south side of WaterColor, we recommend Grade 1 hardware with marine-grade finishes — salt air shortens the life of standard builder hardware to five to seven years, where a properly specified Grade 1 install lasts twelve to fifteen.
The cylinders we use are bump-resistant by default on entry doors, with optional restricted-keyway upgrades for clients who want key duplication controlled at the locksmith level rather than at any hardware store. For lock change jobs that involve rekeying multiple doors to a single master, we set up the pinning chart on-site and label every cylinder so the property owner has a record of the system.
