Common Questions
What makes a lock "storm-resistant"?
A storm-resistant lock is designed with features such as sealed electronics, corrosion-resistant materials, and reinforced mounting to withstand high winds, flying debris, and potential flooding. These locks are built to maintain security and functionality even in extreme weather conditions.
Can I use any stainless steel lock, or are there specific recommendations for Navarre Beach's climate?
While stainless steel is a good start, not all grades are equal in resisting the aggressive salt air in Navarre Beach. We recommend Grade 316 stainless steel or marine-grade brass for optimal longevity and performance in our coastal environment.
How often should I have my locks inspected and maintained during storm season?
We advise a pre-storm season inspection annually to ensure all locks are in good working order. For active rental properties, we also offer quarterly maintenance checks to accommodate your turnover schedule, guaranteeing locks remain secure and functional throughout the year.
