Davie isn’t like the rest of Broward County. While Plantation and Pembroke Pines built dense suburban grids, Davie protected its equestrian zoning across much of its footprint. That means our technicians regularly drive past horse pastures to reach jobs where the “front door” might be a quarter-mile from the road, and where the security scope includes tack rooms, feed bins, and paddock gates alongside the main house. We carry the inventory and expertise for both worlds - standard residential deadbolts and heavy-duty agricultural hardware - because showing up unprepared wastes your afternoon and ours. We don’t do that.
Why Strongbox Lock & Safe Co. Is Davie’s Preferred Lock Installation & Rekey Company
We’ve served South Florida long enough to remember when Davie’s Griffin Road was two lanes and the main traffic hazard was a loose horse. That history matters. Our technicians know which 1960s ranch homes off SW 39th Street still run original Kwikset locksets with worn pin stacks, and which equestrian properties need barn-grade padlocks that won’t jam from manure dust and humidity.
Our reputation here is built on showing up when we say we will and fixing it in one trip. We recently serviced a ranch-style home on Griffin Road where the owner’s original Schlage deadbolts had seized from humidity. We replaced them with heavy-duty Schlage B60N deadbolts and rekeyed the tack room padlocks, plus reset the driveway keypad codes - all in one trip. No return visit. No “we’ll order that part.” Done right, and backed in writing.
Every technician is background-checked, uniformed, and presents ID at your door. The price we quote on the phone is the price on the invoice. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise means if anything isn’t right, we come back - no paperwork to file, no argument. We’ve been in business over 42 years because we plan to be here in thirty more, and we act like it.
Calls are answered by a live person, 24/7, including nights, weekends, and holidays. No voicemail trees. No callback queues.
Our Lock Installation & Rekey Services in Davie
Smart Lock Installation
Smart locks on Davie ranch homes and equestrian estates serve a different purpose than on a downtown Fort Lauderdale condo. Out here, the front door might be a half-mile from the barn, and owners want to grant temporary access to trainers, farriers, or property managers without copying keys. We install Yale and Schlage smart locks rated for Florida’s humidity, with WiFi bridges that reach detached workshops and guest houses where signal strength matters. For properties with multiple structures, we can integrate locks under a single master account so you’re not juggling six different apps. Typical smart lock installation in Davie runs $180-$340 per door, including hardware setup and phone pairing.
Keyless Entry
Keyless entry systems solve a specific problem on Davie acreage: the key that’s always somewhere else. Maybe it’s in the truck at the paddock, or in the barn while you’re at the house. We install keypad deadbolts and lever sets from Schlage and Baldwin that withstand our humidity without electronic failure. For equestrian properties, we often mount keypads on detached workshop doors and secondary entrances - places where carrying a full key ring is impractical. Battery life and weather sealing are critical here; we specify hardware rated for exterior exposure in subtropical conditions, not the indoor-grade stuff that fails after one rainy season.
Keypad Lock Installation
Keypad locks are the workhorse of Davie’s ranch corridors. Driveway gates, barn entrances, equipment sheds - anywhere multiple people need access on irregular schedules. We install commercial-grade keypad locks with programmable codes that can be changed after staff turnover or property sales. For one recent job near SW 100th Avenue, we replaced a failed keypad on a 200-foot driveway gate and rekeyed the main house to match a new master key system. The owner now controls four access points from one code set. Keypad lock installation in Davie typically runs $150-$280, with multi-point systems quoted flat after a brief phone assessment.
Biometric Lock Installation
Biometric locks - fingerprint readers - make sense on Davie properties where keys get lost in the dirt or codes get shared too freely. We install fingerprint-enabled deadbolts on main residences and select outbuildings where controlled access matters most. These aren’t the cheap novelty units; we specify Medeco and Yale biometric hardware with capacitive sensors that read through minor grime, because a ranch hand’s fingerprint at 6 AM isn’t laboratory-clean. Installation runs $220-$390 depending on door prep and network integration.

Trusted Brands We Service in Davie
We stock and install Kwikset, Medeco, Yale, and Baldwin hardware from our service vehicles, which means most Davie jobs finish without a parts run. Kwikset covers the standard residential replacements common in 33314’s older ranch homes. Medeco and Yale handle the high-security and smart lock installations where key control or electronic access matters. Baldwin serves the premium residential market - solid brass construction that holds up to our humidity better than plated alternatives. We don’t push brands that aren’t right for your door, and we don’t install what we can’t stand behind.
Common Lock Installation & Rekey Problems We See in Davie Homes
- Humidity-seized pin tumblers. Davie’s inland position spares it the worst coastal salt air, but extreme year-round humidity - amplified by summer rainy-season saturation - rapidly corrodes pin tumbler springs and brass keyways. Homeowners often think someone’s tampered with the lock when it’s actually internal corrosion binding the mechanism.
- Original builder-grade Kwikset failure in 1960s-1980s ranch homes. The 33314 ZIP is dense with concrete-block ranch-style houses still carrying their original locksets. Worn pin stacks and corroded springs cause these to fail silently - the key turns, but the latch doesn’t retract fully, or the deadbolt jams mid-throw.
- Manure-dust packed padlocks on equestrian properties. Heavy-duty padlocks on tack rooms and feed bins in Davie’s ranch corridors regularly pack solid with a mixture of manure dust and humidity. The shackle won’t release even when the key turns. Disassembly or replacement is usually required.
- Jalousie-door latch corrosion on older Florida-vernacular homes. Some older properties in Davie retain jalousie-door latch hardware rarely seen in newer Broward suburbs. The multi-point latching mechanisms corrode in our climate, and replacement requires specialty knowledge of obsolete hardware patterns.

FAQs - Lock Installation & Rekey in Davie
Yes. Davie’s legally protected equestrian zoning creates a rural-property call profile that doesn’t exist in adjacent Plantation or Pembroke Pines, and we regularly service barn locks, tack room padlocks, paddock gate hardware, and long-driveway keypad entry systems. Our vehicles carry heavy-duty padlocks, gate latches, and weatherproof keypad units sized for agricultural use. Call (877) 664-8139 to describe your setup - we’ll quote a flat price for the full property.
Internal corrosion of pin tumbler springs and brass keyways causes seizure before visible rust appears. Davie’s extreme humidity - especially in shaded, poorly ventilated areas like barn structures and covered porch alcoves - accelerates this invisible corrosion until the lock binds or the key won’t turn. A seized lock often feels like a break-in attempt to homeowners, but it’s usually environmental wear. Our $89 Seasonal Tune-Up disassembles, cleans, and lubricates the mechanism before failure locks you out.
Yes, and we do this regularly on Davie equestrian estates where a standard residential rekey becomes a multi-point commercial-scale job. We can rekey main house deadbolts, barn padlocks, workshop doors, and gate hardware to a single master key system or separate keying groups - your choice. We recently handled a four-structure rekey on a Griffin Road property in one afternoon, including resetting driveway keypad codes. Call (877) 664-8139 for a flat quote based on your building count.
We specify Schlage Encode Plus or Yale Assure Lock SL for detached structures in Davie, because both carry IP ratings for humidity exposure and operate on battery power without requiring WiFi extension to outbuildings. For properties where WiFi doesn’t reach the barn, we can install Z-Wave or Bluetooth models that sync when you’re in range, or hardwire a dedicated access point if you want real-time notifications. The right choice depends on your door condition, power access, and how you use the space - we’ll walk through it on the phone and quote flat.
Yes. Some older Florida-vernacular homes in Davie’s 33314 pocket retain jalousie-door latch hardware that requires specialty knowledge rarely needed in newer Broward suburbs. The multi-point mechanisms corrode in our climate, and replacement parts often need to be sourced from specific suppliers. We’ve serviced these latches for decades and carry the tools and hardware to repair or replace them properly. Call (877) 664-8139 to describe your door - we’ll know from your description whether it’s a standard fix or needs special ordering.
