Absolutely. Our lock rekeying service changes the internal pins so old keys no longer work — the most cost-effective way to secure your property after moving in, losing a key, or a break-in. We come to you, often same day.

Rekeying is faster and cheaper when the lock itself is in good condition — it makes old keys useless without replacing the hardware. Changing locks makes sense when locks are damaged, worn, outdated, or you want to upgrade to a higher-security option like Medeco or Mul-T-Lock. We'll advise you honestly on the best option.

Yes. After a break-in, Key-En-Lock responds throughout Brevard County to rekey existing locks, replace damaged hardware, install deadbolts, and improve your overall residential security — often same day.

Yes. We provide full door lock and deadbolt replacement for homes and businesses throughout Brevard County. We carry and install a wide range of lock brands including Schlage, Kwikset, Marks USA, Emtek, Medeco, and Mul-T-Lock.

High-security locks like Medeco and Mul-T-Lock use patented keyways, hardened steel components, and anti-pick/anti-drill engineering that standard hardware store locks can't match. They're ideal for businesses, rental properties, vacation homes, and anyone who wants real protection. Key-En-Lock is an authorized dealer and installer in Brevard County.

Yes — but only by an authorized locksmith. Medeco and Mul-T-Lock use patented key blanks that can't be duplicated at hardware stores. This is a major feature: it means unauthorized key copies can't be made. Key-En-Lock is an authorized dealer for both brands and can rekey or cut new keys for your existing high-security hardware.

Medeco locks use a patented rotating pin tumbler design that defeats picking, drilling, and unauthorized key duplication. Medeco keys can only be cut by authorized dealers — your hardware store cannot copy them. They're UL-listed and used in government buildings, banks, hospitals, and high-end residences. Key-En-Lock installs and keys Medeco hardware throughout Brevard County.

Yes — but only through an authorized Medeco dealer like Key-En-Lock. Medeco keys have a patented key profile that cannot be duplicated at Home Depot, Walmart, or non-authorized locksmiths. That restriction is exactly what makes Medeco a true key-control solution. Call us at (321) 224-5625 to add authorized users to your Medeco system.

For properties where key control matters — rental units, offices with employee turnover, vacation homes, or any property where you can't guarantee all key copies are accounted for — Medeco is absolutely worth it. The hardware is more expensive upfront, but you'll never have to rekey because someone made an unauthorized copy. See our full Medeco locks page for options and pricing.

Mul-T-Lock is an Israeli-engineered high-security lock brand widely regarded as one of the best in the world. It uses a telescoping pin-within-a-pin mechanism that resists picking, bumping, and drilling. Mul-T-Lock is the preferred choice for commercial properties, multi-family housing, and security-conscious homeowners in Brevard County. Key-En-Lock is an authorized Mul-T-Lock dealer and installer.

Both are excellent high-security options with patented key control. Medeco uses rotating pins and is particularly strong against picking. Mul-T-Lock uses a telescoping pin system and is often preferred for commercial applications due to its wide range of hardware options and master key flexibility. Key-En-Lock carries both and can recommend the right system for your specific property and budget.

Electronic access control replaces physical keys with credentials — keycards, key fobs, PIN codes, or mobile apps. Instead of rekeying when an employee leaves, you simply deactivate their credential. You get a real-time log of who entered, when, and which door. For any business with more than a handful of employees or multiple entry points, access control is worth the investment.

A mag lock holds the door magnetically — it fails open (door releases) when power is cut, which is the required fail-safe for most occupied buildings. An electric strike replaces the door frame strike and allows a key-locked door to be remotely released. The right choice depends on your door type, fire code requirements, and how the door is used. Key-En-Lock will evaluate your doors and recommend the correct hardware. Learn more in our access control page.

Yes. Key-En-Lock installs and programs Alarm Lock Trilogy standalone access control locks throughout Brevard County. Trilogy locks are standalone units — no wiring to a server required — and are popular for offices, storage facilities, and businesses that want keypad or card access on individual doors without a full networked system.

PDK (ProdataKey) is a cloud-based access control system that manages door access entirely from a web dashboard or mobile app — no on-site server required. Key-En-Lock chose PDK as our primary access control platform because of its clean interface, mobile credential support (open doors with your phone), real-time alerts, and scalability from a single door to hundreds. Learn everything about our PDK access control installation service.

Yes — that's one of PDK's biggest advantages. PDK supports mobile credentials, meaning authorized users can open doors using just their iPhone or Android device via Bluetooth or the PDK app. No physical keycard needed. If an employee leaves, you revoke their access in seconds from the dashboard. Learn more about PDK access control for Brevard County businesses.

Yes. PDK is cloud-based, so it scales seamlessly from a single door to a full commercial campus or multiple business locations. All doors, users, and access schedules are managed from one dashboard. Key-En-Lock installs and configures PDK systems for businesses throughout Brevard County — from single-door offices to multi-site commercial operations. See our full PDK installation guide.

Traditional access control systems require an on-site server, proprietary software, and an IT person to manage. PDK is cloud-native — updates happen automatically, you manage everything from a browser or app, and there's no server to maintain. For most businesses in Brevard County, PDK delivers enterprise-level access control at a price that makes sense. Call us at (321) 224-5625 to discuss your property.
