Day-of-closing call: 'I need to rekey before sundown'
Friday 3pm - new owner had just closed on a Bel Aire home and wanted everything rekeyed before sleeping there that night. Sellers had handed over 'maybe 4 keys, maybe more' with no clear chain of custody.
We re-pinned the 4 exterior cylinders (front, back, garage entry, side gate) to one new brass key. Replaced one (a failing Kwikset SmartKey on the garage entry) with a fresh Schlage B60. Total 75 minutes, $245 parts + labor.
Day-of-closing rekey in Bel Aire is probably 40% of our calls in this neighborhood. It's why we keep a stocked truck within 20 minutes of South Delray on Fridays.
