The historic districts change what can legally be done to a door. West Palm Beach has 18 local historic districts and 46 individually designated sites, and exterior modifications require a Certificate of Appropriateness. West Palm Beach was platted by Henry Flagler in 1893 and incorporated on 5 November 1894; its population quadrupled between 1920 and 1927 during the land boom, and the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane struck the area. Near the water, standard plated cylinders corrode from the inside out; solid brass or marine-grade hardware lasts several times longer for a small difference in price. The city fronts the Atlantic across the Intracoastal, and FEMA Technical Bulletin 8 documents that airborne salt drives accelerated corrosion of metal hardware, heaviest within the first 300 feet, declining across the 300 to 3,000 foot band, and still measurable 5 to 10 miles inland. Sustained humidity plus chloride attacks cylinder pins, springs, latch bolts and the contacts and boards in electronic access hardware; ANSI/BHMA A156.18 screens builders hardware finishes with a salt-spray test whose failure criteria are corrosion, staining and blistering, and also tests ultraviolet degradation. Census 2000 recorded 11.5% of housing units built in 1939 or earlier, 19.8% in 1940-1959, 11.0% in the 1960s, 17.4% in the 1970s and 23.0% in the 1980s. The pre-Depression districts are specific and documented: Old Northwood has 173 contributing structures built 1921-1929 in Frame Vernacular (Dade County pine), Mission and Mediterranean styles, and Flamingo Park dates from about 1921-1949 with more than half its buildings from the 1920s in Mission Revival, Mediterranean Revival and frame vernacular - old mortise preps and narrow stiles are common in that stock. In Old Northwood the contributing stock is 1921-1929 frame vernacular built in Dade County pine, a dense, hard old-growth wood that resists boring, and Flamingo Park is majority 1920s construction. Retrofitting a modern bored deadbolt into those doors is a design-review and a carpentry problem, not just a hardware swap.

Locked out or need a lock changed in West Palm Beach? We come to you.
Call (844) 715-0800 →Before we open anything or change any lock, we have to establish that the property or vehicle is yours. This is not paperwork for its own sake. It is the reason nobody can call us and have your locks changed either.
If you cannot produce it, we will not open it — and we will still charge for the call-out, because our technician still traveled. Bring the documents and it is a two-minute conversation.
