What lock change means in WaterColor
A lock change involves replacing the internal cylinder or the entire lockset so that old keys no longer function. In WaterColor, this process typically removes the physical pins and springs of the existing deadbolt or knob and installs a new mechanism. This differs from rekeying, as it provides a completely new piece of hardware to the door. We handle the removal of old hardware and the precise alignment of new strikes to ensure the door closes securely. This process is necessary when a lock is damaged, outdated, or when a total security reset is required.

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 Santa Rosa Beach, 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.
