Residential Locksmith Services in Miami, FL
Residential locksmith work covers a wide range of situations, and each one requires a different tool set and approach. Here's what Caraballo Locksmith handles for homeowners and renters:
Home lockouts — Locked out of your house, apartment, or condo. We use non-destructive entry tools before ever considering drilling, and leave your lock fully functional in the vast majority of cases.
Rekeying — Rekeying changes the internal pin configuration of your existing lock so old keys no longer work. It's significantly cheaper than replacing the hardware. We strongly recommend it when moving into any new home or rental — previous owners, contractors, cleaning services, and real estate agents may all have copies of your current key.
Deadbolt installation — Not all deadbolts are equal. ANSI Grade 1 deadbolts resist a radically different level of force than the hardware store Grade 3 locks that come standard in most new homes. We install the right grade for your door type and frame.
Smart lock installation — Yale, Schlage, Kwikset, and August smart locks each have specific installation requirements. We handle the hardware, the app pairing, and the configuration so you don't spend a weekend troubleshooting.
Master key systems — One key that opens multiple locks while each lock also has its own unique key. Common for rental property owners, multi-unit buildings, and households with separate access areas.
Security consultations — A technician walks through your property and identifies vulnerabilities — weak strike plates, hollow-core doors, exposed hinges, and inadequate lock grades — and recommends cost-effective upgrades.

Residential Locksmith Services — Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between rekeying and replacing a lock?
Rekeying changes the internal pin configuration so old keys stop working — the hardware stays the same. Replacing installs new hardware entirely. Rekeying is cheaper and appropriate when your existing lock is in good condition. Replacement makes sense when the lock is worn, damaged, or a security upgrade is needed.
How many locks can you rekey in one visit?
Typically all exterior locks in a home in one visit, usually under 2 hours. We can also rekey all locks to work on a single key — convenient for move-ins.
Do you install smart locks on older doors?
Most smart locks require a standard door prep (hole pattern) that older doors may not have. We assess compatibility when we arrive and can modify the door prep if needed before installation.
