Residential Locksmith Services
Protecting homes across the Emerald Coast since 1973
Your TrustedHome SecurityExperts
Protect your home with help from A to Z Lock & Safe—your local, trusted residential locksmith since 1973.
Whether you're upgrading locks, dealing with a lockout, or adding smart security, we bring professional service and peace of mind to every job. When the salt air has your locks and hinges looking tired, we can recommend compatible hardware to refresh their look and maintain smooth function.
We also work with hardware many shops won't touch. From skeleton keys and antique or vintage lock cylinders to footlocker keys and other uncommon key types, our techs have the experience to match original fits and bring older mechanisms back to life. If you've inherited a piece, restored a home, or have a stubborn lock no one else can crack, chances are we've seen something like it before.
From re-keying after a move to installing hurricane-rated multi-point locks, we're here to help your family feel safe. Living in Okaloosa County? See our rekey and door hardware service in Fort Walton Beach, in Destin, or our mobile service in Panama City.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to rekey a lock?
Rekeying changes the internal pins so old keys no longer work, while keeping your existing hardware. It often costs far less than replacing locks and takes minutes per cylinder.
Should I rekey or replace my locks?
If the hardware is in good shape, rekey. Replace when the lock is worn, damaged, or you want a different finish, function, or a keyless option.
How long does it take to rekey a house?
A typical home with four to six locks takes around an hour, whether we do it in our Mary Esther or Destin shop or at your property.
Can all my locks be set to one key?
Usually yes. If the locks are the same brand and keyway we can key them alike — house, shed, and gates on a single key. Often mailboxes have a unique keyway, but sometimes those can be set to the same key as well!
When should I rekey?
After buying a home, after a tenant or contractor turnover, after losing a key, or after a roommate or employee leaves.
Do you rekey rental and vacation properties?
Yes, including multi-unit turnovers and master-keyed setups for property managers along the Emerald Coast.
