What lock change means in WaterColor
A lock change involves removing the existing cylinder or the entire lockset and installing a new one. Unlike rekeying, which alters the internal pins to fit a new key, a full change replaces the hardware entirely. This process eliminates mechanical wear and ensures no previous keys can operate the door. We disassemble the old unit, prep the door frame for a secure fit, and install professional-grade hardware that meets WaterColor's coastal durability requirements.

Hardware tiers we stock for WaterColor
Every mobile unit carries three tiers of hardware for lock change work in WaterColor: 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.
