COMMON HARDWARE / CONFIRMED PER JOB
What lock brands does Cris work with?
Ninja Lock services and installs many common residential and commercial lock brands when the specific hardware and parts are compatible. Brand names identify encountered products and do not imply endorsement or affiliation.
SchlageKwiksetMaster LockAmerican LockBaldwinDefiantWeiserEmtek
HARDWARE FILE / COMPATIBILITY BEFORE PARTSThe keyway matters.
The keyway matters.
So does the door.
These are hardware-identification notes, not a guarantee that every model can be serviced. Parts, ownership, authorization and the exact job are confirmed before travel. Brand references do not imply manufacturer affiliation or certification.
Can Schlage C-keyway locks use one key?
Compatible Schlage C-keyway cylinders can often be keyed alike, but the actual cylinder, keyway and hardware condition must be checked first. Schlage identifies C as an open keyway; a C-keyway label does not by itself mean keys are restricted from duplication.
Schlage C-keyway documentationIs a Kwikset SmartKey cylinder the same as a conventional lock?
No. Kwikset SmartKey cylinders use a different rekeying mechanism from conventional pin-tumbler cylinders. Identify the installed keyway first: KW1 and the separate SC1 SmartKey cylinder are not interchangeable key profiles. Kwikset specifies five-pin SC1 keys for its SC1 cylinder—not six-pin SC4 keys. Send the lock model and photos before planning a one-key setup.
Kwikset SmartKey compatibility guidanceWhat needs checking on a Yale commercial mortise lock?
A mortise body fits into a pocket in the door; replacing its cylinder is not the same as replacing the entire lock body. For Yale commercial mortise hardware, identify the series, lock function, handing, cylinder length and cam before selecting parts. The Yale 8800 family is now documented by ASSA ABLOY ACCENTRA. Model-specific documentation—not the brand name alone—determines the match.
Manufacturer 8800-series mortise documentationWhat information helps identify a Master Lock product?
Send the exact model, where the lock is installed, what is failing and clear photos of the hardware. Master Lock is a product brand, not one universal cylinder or replacement pattern. Cris confirms whether the particular lock fits the agreed property-service scope and whether compatible parts are available before accepting the job.
Master Lock product supportDoes USPS-L-1172C mean any mailbox lock will fit?
No. USPS-L-1172C identifies a mailbox-lock specification, not a universal fit or permission to work on postal property. CompX documents its C9100 as clockwise; the cylinder mounting, cam, rotation and compartment must be matched. First confirm private ownership or management and authorization. Ninja Lock does not service postal master / Arrow locks or USPS-owned or maintained boxes; contact the Post Office for those.
CompX USPS-L-1172C model documentationMailbox ownership comes before the lock specification. Read the USPS ownership guidance.

Old house keys should not come with your new home.
Former owners, contractors, cleaners, property managers, and relatives may still have copies. Rekeying changes the working key while keeping compatible hardware in place.

FAQ / STRAIGHT ANSWERS
What people ask before calling
No vague promises. No claim of 24/7 coverage. Just practical answers based on how Cris actually works.
01How much does it cost to rekey locks in Ellenton or Bradenton?
A typical home with three or four compatible locks costs $100–$150 to rekey. Call Cris with the lock count and type for an exact price before travel.
02What areas does Ninja Lock serve?
Ninja Lock serves eligible addresses within a 20-mile radius from Ellenton, including parts of Bradenton, Sarasota, Lakewood Ranch, Palmetto, Parrish, Sun City Center, Ruskin, Anna Maria Island, Longboat Key, Cortez, and nearby communities. Send the exact address to confirm coverage before scheduling.
03Do you give prices over the phone?
Yes. Cris asks about the lock, door, or property and quotes the agreed work before driving out. If the scope changes, discuss it before authorizing extra work.
04How quickly can you get to a lockout?
Response time depends on Cris’s current job, your location, and traffic. For accepted calls during business hours, you receive a current ETA and an update if conditions change.
05Who handles my locksmith appointment?
You speak directly with Cris, the owner, and he personally handles every accepted job. Call or text 941-875-7335 to confirm the service and address.
06What is the difference between rekeying and replacing a lock?
Rekeying changes the internal pins so old keys stop working while sound hardware stays in place. Replacement installs a new lock when the old one is damaged, unreliable, or not suitable for the desired upgrade.
07Do you offer 24/7 or emergency locksmith service?
Regular hours are Monday through Saturday, 8:00 AM–6:00 PM, closed Sundays. Call or text after hours to ask about availability; 24/7 service is not promised.
