Most locksmith calls in Yulee come down to one job: rekeying locks on a home that just changed hands. Whether it’s a rental turnover off US-17, a newly built house in a subdivision near SR-200, or a family moving into a 2005-era single-family home, the first thing you need is to know the old keys no longer work. Kingsley Locksmith has served Yulee since 2016, and we handle rekeying, car key replacement, and emergency lockouts across the 32041 and 32097 ZIP codes. Call (855) 360-5957 when you need a locksmith who works on everything from builder-grade Kwikset to high-security Medeco.
Why Yulee Homes Are Different
Yulee is unincorporated Nassau County, and it’s growing fast. Most of the housing stock went up between the 1990s and the 2020s, which means we’re almost never dealing with antique mortise locks or historic door restoration like you’d find across the bridge in Fernandina Beach. Instead, we see standard prehung steel and fiberglass entry doors with builder-grade Kwikset or Schlage knobs and deadbolts. That’s actually good news for rekeying, these locks are straightforward to work on and parts are readily available. But the climate is the real variable. Subtropical humidity, salt air drifting in from the Atlantic, and heavy summer rain mean exterior locksets corrode and seize faster here than they do inland. We routinely replace tailpieces, cylinders, and deadbolt internals that have rusted solid, especially on homes within a mile or two of the marsh and the Nassau Sound side. Hurricane-season prep also drives a lot of our work, homeowners upgrading to impact-rated door hardware and wanting those locks rekeyed or serviced before storm season peaks.
Because Yulee sits at the intersection of I-95, SR-200, and A1A, it functions as a gateway. We get a steady stream of new-tenant rekeys for rental turnover in communities along Chester Road and Harts Road, lockouts from beach-bound visitors who stopped in Yulee on their way to Amelia Island, and builder punch-list lock swaps in the newest subdivisions south of SR-200. It’s a different call mix than what you’d see inland in Callahan or on the island itself, more transiency, more turnover, more hardware that was installed last month rather than last century.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Yulee Services
Two services dominate the calls we take from Yulee homeowners and property managers. Here’s what each involves locally, and where to find the full breakdown.
Car Key Replacement in Yulee
Losing a car key or having one break off in the ignition is common in Yulee, especially for drivers commuting north to the Jacksonville metro or heading out to Amelia Island. We handle car key replacement on-site, programming transponder keys and cutting high-security blades in the field, so you’re not getting towed to a dealership on Atlantic Boulevard. The sand and humidity here are tough on key fobs; we see a lot of corroded battery contacts and moisture-damaged remotes in vehicles parked outdoors near the water. Read more on our Car Key Replacement in Yulee page.
Emergency Locksmith in Yulee
A lockout on a humid July afternoon or a deadbolt that finally seized after years of salt air is an emergency when it happens. We respond to lockouts across Yulee, from the neighborhoods off Pages Dairy Road to the commercial strips along SR-200. You’ll get a real locksmith with the tools to open your door and rekey or replace the lock on the spot, not a call center dispatching whoever’s closest. Our full emergency process is on the Emergency Locksmith in Yulee page.

Rekey Locks in Yulee
Rekeying is the core of what we do in Yulee because the local housing market is built on turnover. Whether you just bought a house in a subdivision off SR-200, you’re a landlord flipping a rental near US-17 between tenants, or you’ve had a falling-out with someone who has a key, rekeying changes the lock’s internal pins so the old keys stop working. It’s faster and far cheaper than replacing hardware, and in Yulee’s newer homes it’s usually the only security work needed. We carry pinning kits and cylinders for the full Schlage, Kwikset, Yale, Baldwin, Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, Sargent, and Abloy lineup, so we can rekey nearly any lock on your first call. Learn more about how we approach Rekey Locks.
Lock Rekey
Signs you need it
You’ve bought a home, ended a lease, fired a contractor, or you’ve handed out more spare keys than you can account for.
What it costs in Yulee
Standard lock rekeying in Yulee typically ranges from $60 to $140 for the first lock, with additional locks discounted.
How we do it
We disassemble the lock cylinder, swap the internal pins to match a new key, reassemble, and test every key in front of you.
Rekey Door Lock
Signs you need it
Your key works in the deadbolt but not the knob (or vice versa), or you want one key to operate every door in the house.
What it costs in Yulee
Rekeying a single door lock in Yulee usually falls between $50 and $110, plus a service call fee of $40 to $80.
How we do it
We pull the cylinder from the door, re-pin it to the new key, and reinstall it, then verify the latch and deadbolt both throw smoothly.
Keyed Alike
Signs you need it
You’re carrying four different keys for one property and want a single key to open the front door, back door, and side garage door.
What it costs in Yulee
Keying multiple locks alike in Yulee runs $25 to $45 per additional lock after the first rekey, depending on the brand.
How we do it
We re-pin each lock to the same key code, then test the single key through every cylinder before we leave the driveway.
What Rekey Locks Costs in Yulee
| Item | Typical range in Yulee |
|---|---|
| First lock rekey (standard knob or deadbolt) | $60 – $140 |
| Additional locks keyed alike | $25 – $45 per lock |
| Service call fee (waived with larger jobs) | $40 – $80 |
How much does it cost to rekey a house in Yulee?
A typical three-lock rekey in Yulee runs $110 to $240 including the service call. You get the exact figure on the phone before we dispatch, and that’s the price on the invoice.
Can you rekey my Yulee rental between tenants the same week?
Yes. We handle rental turnover rekeys throughout Yulee, including keyed-alike setups for property managers. Call (855) 360-5957 and we’ll schedule around your lease dates.
Brands We Service in Yulee
We stock pins, cylinders, and common parts for Schlage, Kwikset, and Yale on the truck, so a standard Yulee rekey is usually a one-visit job. For our brands like Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, and Baldwin, we order exact factory parts and schedule the follow-up quickly. High-security systems take specialized tooling, and we’re certified to work on them in the field rather than referring you out.
Pricing for Locksmith in Yulee, FL
| Service | Typical range in Yulee |
|---|---|
| House lockout (standard lock) | $70 – $160 |
| Car lockout (non-destructive entry) | $60 – $140 |
| Standard car key replacement (non-chip) | $80 – $180 |
| Transponder car key replacement | $120 – $280 |
| Proximity fob / smart key replacement | $180 – $420 |
| Lock rekey (first lock) | $60 – $140 |

| Deadbolt replacement | $80 – $190 |
In Yulee, the two things that push a price up are high-security hardware (Medeco and Mul-T-Lock cylinders take longer and use proprietary pins) and salt-corrosion damage that requires replacing the entire cylinder rather than just re-pinning it. We quote the full price on the phone before anyone is dispatched, and that number is the one on your invoice, no call-out surcharge added at the door.

What Yulee Customers Say
"Rekeyed every lock in the house the day after we closed. Six doors, all matched to one key, done in about ninety minutes."
— Devon Hampton"Rekey was done properly. One of the keys he cut was slightly stiff in the back door and I had to call him to swap it, which he did without a fuss."
— Kevin Hoffman"Programmed a transponder key for a 2014 model that the dealership wanted an absurd amount for. Same key, fraction of the price, took him twenty minutes in my driveway."
— Maurice Boyd
