Locksmith in Palm Aire, Pompano Beach
In Palm Aire a door lockout starts at $95 and rekeying four standard locks runs $236 — but before we drive, we'll ask one Palm Aire question: which numbered association is your unit in? The answer tells us who manages the building and whether management keeps a copy of your key.

Palm Aire at a glance
- A golf community turned city neighborhood. Palm Aire mixes condominiums, villas and single-family homes around four golf courses, and much of it now sits in southwest Pompano Beach (Wikipedia).
- Dozens of associations with numbers for names. Listings show buildings under names like "No. 18 Palm Aire Country Club" on South Course Drive and "No. 121 Palm Aire Country Club" on Cypress Grove Drive (BHHS listing, No. 18; BHHS listing, No. 121). Each one can set its own rules.
- Three courses and a long history. The Palm Aire Country Club runs the Palms, the Cypress and the Oaks courses from 3701 Oaks Clubhouse Drive; the Palms opened in 1959, the Oaks in 1971 and the Cypress in 1972 (Palm Aire Country Club). Buildings that went up around them in those years still carry plenty of original hardware.
- Older doors and frames. Across Pompano Beach, half the houses and condos date from 1974 or earlier (City-Data). Many locks here have outlived several owners.
Your association and your key
Florida's condo law gives an association a right of access to each unit for maintenance and to prevent damage (F.S. 718.111). Plenty of condo documents go further and expect each owner to hand the office a copy of the unit key (Siegfried Rivera). So when we rekey a Palm Aire unit, we make the management copy right then, if your association asks for one. Thinking about a keypad lock? A model that still takes a key is the safer pick in a condo, since a code alone may not meet a key rule (Becker).
Building entry and guard rules differ from one association to the next. Tell us about a front desk, a gate or a fob door when you call, and we'll plan around it. Getting here is quick: David E. usually reaches Palm Aire in around 20 minutes and gives you the real time on the phone.
Jobs we see around the golf courses
- Rekeys after buying a villa or condo — new pins, same hardware (rekey).
- Units left empty for the summer, with tenants or family who had keys (seasonal homes).
- Sliders to the patio or the fairway that no longer latch (sliding-door locks).
- Cluster mailbox locks. The building owner or manager handles those locks, not the Postal Service (USPS). We change your compartment lock with the association's OK and never touch the carrier's master lock.

Questions
Do I need the association's permission to rekey?
Usually not, since nothing changes on the outside of the door. But if your documents require a key on file, give the office the new one.
I have a storage room and a back door too. Same visit?
Yes — every added lock that trip is $47.
Do you only work in Palm Aire?
No — every neighborhood inside Pompano Beach, FL, including Leisureville and the beachfront. See condo locksmith for building-wide work.
Locked out? Call — the price comes first.
Same price at any hour. A Pompano Beach technician comes to you.
