What real estate locksmith service actually involves in Delray Beach

Real estate transactions in Delray Beach have a tight locksmith rhythm. Pre-listing: install a lockbox so buyer agents can show. During contract: occasionally service the lockbox if codes need rotating. Post-closing: rekey every cylinder on the property so the buyer's keys are the only working keys. Premier Locksmith Delray Beach works with several Delray-area realtor teams + title companies + closing attorneys to handle each step on the timeline.

Most common real estate calls: post-closing rekey (we get the buyer's authorization at closing, schedule the rekey for the same afternoon or the next morning so the buyer's first overnight in the home is on locks only they have keys to); pre-listing lockbox install (Supra iBox or Sentrilock combination boxes, properly secured to the door frame); pre-listing security upgrade (new deadbolts on shaky-feeling doors, sliding-door pin upgrades on patio doors, garage entry rekey); and the occasional 'sellers forgot to leave the keys at closing' rescue, where we rekey the property within hours of closing so the buyer can move in.

Realtor-friendly things we do: we accept closing-day authorization in writing (signed by the buyer at closing, faxed or emailed to us by the title company); we work weekend and after-hours so the rekey doesn't delay move-in; we coordinate with the buyer's agent on key handoff so the seller's agent doesn't have to be involved; we provide written documentation with our license number for the buyer's insurance carrier (some carriers require proof of post-closing rekey for the homeowner policy effective date). We are on the preferred-vendor list for several Delray-area title companies and Realtor teams.

Rekey scope: 7 cylinders. Front entry, mudroom entry, pool-deck door, master-suite-to-pool door, garage walk-in, garage overhead-door bypass cylinder, pool-gate cylinder.

Total: $385 (post-closing rekey rate). Written work order to the title company for the closing file + the buyer's insurance carrier. Buyer's first night in the home, 7 hours after closing, was on brand-new locks. Realtor referred us 2 more closings the following month.

Real Estate Locksmith Service - Delray homeowners' questions, answered

Same day - typically within 4 hours of closing if the buyer authorizes at the closing table. We coordinate directly with the title company on authorization paperwork. The buyer's first overnight in the home is on their own keys.
Buyers usually meet us at the property (most prefer to watch + get walked through the new keys). If a buyer's agent or title company representative wants to handle handoff, we accept that with written authorization.
Standard post-closing rekey: front door, back door, side / garage entry door, mailbox, garage-overhead door cylinder (if applicable), pool gate (if applicable). Most Delray homes have 4 - 6 cylinders. Sliding patio doors with pin-tumbler locks get rekeyed; sliding doors with foot-bolts don't have a key cylinder to rekey but we recommend secondary security pins.
We install Supra iBox BT LE or Sentrilock NXT 2 (the two Florida Realtors MLS approved boxes) onto the front-door knob or a separate hook installed to the door frame. The realtor sets the access code through the Supra / Sentrilock app. We confirm proper mounting + code rotation procedure. Cost: $85 - $145 install.
Happens more than you'd think. We can do a same-day emergency rekey - $245 - $385 depending on door count and how quickly we need to dispatch. We work with the title company to confirm rekey authorization (typically the closing documents already grant the buyer this right).
Yes - we provide a written work order with the rekey date, cylinders rekeyed, our Palm Beach County license number, and the buyer's authorization. Most homeowner policies (State Farm, Allstate, Florida Peninsula, Heritage P&C) accept this for the homeowner effective date.
Yes - we walk the property with the listing agent and recommend specific upgrades that make the home show better and safer: replace failing deadbolts with Grade 1 commercial-grade for $85 - $185 each, install patio-door pin locks, add 3-inch strike-plate screws to existing deadbolts (we have caught more home break-ins by lengthening these screws than any other single upgrade).
