Locks, Cylinders & Hardware

15 articles from our licensed technicians — Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach

Choosing a lock in South Florida is not the same decision it is elsewhere. Humidity and salt exposure shorten the life of cheap hardware, hurricane-rated doors need cylinders that work with reinforced frames, and many condo associations from Brickell to Sunny Isles specify exactly what may be installed on a unit door. This section explains how the mechanisms actually work — pin and tumbler, high-security cylinders, deadbolts against knob locks — so you can tell the difference between hardware that resists a determined attempt and hardware that only looks solid.
