Being locked out isn't just inconvenient. It's a gut-drop moment, especially when you're standing in the heat off SR-710, kids in the car, or you've just finished a long shift and you can't get into your own home off Southwest Citrus Boulevard. Stuart Locksmiths gets to Indiantown in approximately 30 minutes from our Stuart base, and we're here specifically for moments like this.
Indiantown is a working community. Ranches, mobile homes, single-family houses, small businesses near the Indiantown Marina, agricultural operations along the canal roads. The lock problems here are real, and they're different from what you see in coastal Martin County.
Why Locks Fail Faster in Indiantown
The humidity in inland Martin County is brutal. Unlike the breezy coastline near Stuart or Jensen Beach, Indiantown sits in a low-lying agricultural basin where summer heat and moisture combine to warp door frames, corrode lock cylinders, and seize deadbolts solid.
We see it constantly: a lock that worked fine in February becomes a fight in July. The brass pins inside a standard cylinder swell just enough to jam. Older mobile homes along Southwest Warfield Boulevard develop frame sag that misaligns the strike plate entirely. These aren't cheap locks failing. This happens to quality hardware that just wasn't maintained against Florida's interior climate.
Pest intrusion is another real issue here that nobody talks about. Wasps and mud daubers nest inside exterior lock cylinders near agricultural zones off Hundley Road. That's not a metaphor. We've extracted nests from lock cores more than once out here.
Lock-Related Crime in Indiantown: What the Numbers Show
Indiantown is an unincorporated community policed by the Martin County Sheriff's Office. Here's context that actually helps you make decisions about your security:
| Category | Indiantown / Martin County Data | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Burglary rate, Martin County | 1.8 per 1,000 residents (2023) | FBI UCR / Florida FDLE Crime Data |
| Burglary entry method (FL statewide) | ~60% unlocked or weak-lock doors | Florida Department of Law Enforcement |
| Indiantown median home value | $182,400 (2023 estimate) | U.S. Census Bureau ACS |
| % rental households, Indiantown ZIP 34956 | ~44% | U.S. Census Bureau ACS 5-Year |
| Recommended deadbolt grade for rental properties | ANSI Grade 1 | ANSI/BHMA A156.30 Standard |
That 44% rental rate matters. Landlords along Southwest Citrus and in the Booker Park area often inherit old locks that haven't been rekeyed between tenants. That's a real exposure, and a Lock Rekey Service fixes it fast for around $25-$65 per lock.

We run the SR-710 corridor regularly. From Stuart, we're through the flatlands and into Indiantown in about 30 minutes under normal conditions, faster on weekends when truck traffic is lighter on Warfield Boulevard.
Our technicians know the specific issues here: the old sliding-door locks on 1980s-era construction near the Seminole Inn, the gate hardware problems on agricultural properties, the fact that some addresses in the 34956 ZIP code are hard to pin on GPS because the rural road naming isn't always clean. We've learned how to find you.

What a Service Call Actually Looks Like
You call (772) 362-5731. You get a real person, not a call center in another state. We confirm your address, verify what's happening, and dispatch immediately. Indiantown calls typically run 28-35 minutes travel time from Stuart.
Lockout calls run $75-$125 depending on lock type and time of day. Rekeys are $25-$65 per cylinder. A full deadbolt upgrade to a Schlage B60N or Kwikset 980 runs $95-$150 installed. We quote before we work. No surprises.
For agricultural or rural properties with gate locks or unusual setups, we sometimes need a quick photo from you before we arrive so we bring the right hardware. Takes 30 seconds and saves everyone a second trip.
Smart locks are increasingly popular for Indiantown property owners who manage rentals or agricultural land remotely. A Schlage Encode or Yale Assure installed runs $185-$260 total, and you can hand out time-limited codes to farmhands, contractors, or tenants without ever making a physical key.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can Stuart Locksmiths reach Indiantown?
About 28-35 minutes from our Stuart location under normal traffic conditions. We travel SR-710 regularly and know the route well, including the slower sections near the Indiantown Road crossing at the Florida Turnpike.
Do you service mobile homes and manufactured housing in Indiantown?
Yes. A significant portion of our Indiantown calls are for manufactured homes. The locks on these properties are often different from standard residential hardware, and we carry the slim-profile and mobile-home-specific cylinders needed to do the job right.
My deadbolt is sticky and hard to turn every summer. Is that a Florida thing?
It's an Indiantown thing specifically. The inland humidity and heat cause both the lock cylinder and the door frame to expand. Before replacing the lock, try a graphite lubricant (not WD-40) in the cylinder. If the problem is frame sag or misaligned strike plate, that needs a physical adjustment we can handle on-site.
Can you rekey locks after a tenant moves out at my Indiantown rental?
That's one of our most common Indiantown jobs. Rekeying runs $25-$65 per cylinder and is far cheaper than replacing the lock. We can rekey an entire rental in under an hour. Florida landlord-tenant law doesn't require rekeying between tenants, but it's a real liability if you don't.
Do you handle agricultural gate locks and padlocks near Indiantown?
Yes. Ranch properties and agricultural operations off Hundley Road and the canal access roads have specific gate hardware needs. We stock heavy-duty padlocks and hasp systems rated for outdoor exposure, including stainless internals that resist the moisture common in low-lying areas near the C-44 Canal.
