When you think about residential safety, doors and locks are your first line of defense. Yet in Florida’s heat, humidity, and hurricane seasons, off-the-shelf hardware can corrode, loosen, and fail faster than expected. That is why CountBricks delivers lock installation Florida families can count on—backed by AI-driven estimating, up-to-the-minute material pricing, and proven residential craftsmanship.
• Salt-laden coastal air accelerates metal corrosion on cheaply plated locksets
• Extreme temperature swings make doors swell and shrink, causing latch misalignment
• Storm-force winds place extra stress on strike plates and deadbolt throws
• Rapid population growth increases property turnover, making timely re-keying essential
CountBricks field teams specify hardware and installation techniques designed for Florida’s demanding climate while our AI platform hunts live supplier feeds for the best hurricane-rated products every hour.

• Pilot-drilling screw holes prevents wood splitting in Florida’s dense pine jambs
• Deep-set 3-inch hardened screws anchor strikes to wall framing, not just the jamb
• Weather-resistant silicone seals exposed hardware edges against driving rain
• ANSI gap gauges verify a 1⁄8-inch reveal so swollen doors won’t bind the bolt mid-summer
• Smart-lock firmware is updated before hand-off to guard against known vulnerabilities

The result is fewer site visits, consolidated invoices, and an airtight construction timeline.
During a recent coastal renovation highlighted on CountBricks.com/portfolio, our client’s original brass hardware had seized from salt exposure. Using the AI platform, we compared stainless lever sets, smart deadbolts, and hurricane-rated multi-points—all in real time—while the homeowner spoke to our estimator. We chose a Grade 1 stainless package that pairs with existing smart-home hubs. Installation finished in one afternoon, yet the AI report documented 27% savings against the local average thanks to just-in-time sourcing.
• Apply dry Teflon lubricant every six months—oil-based sprays attract sand
• Replace strike plate screws with 3-inch stainless fasteners to combat salt rust
• After storms, inspect door alignment before forcing the knob—swelling can shear latches
• Use silicone-backed weather strips to reduce humidity infiltration at the latch edge
• Enroll in CountBricks Preventive Maintenance plans for annual hardware audits
