Lock rekey and replacement in Charlotte, NC
Service visits start at $149 — a starting point, not a final estimate
New-home and post-tenant lock changes are the most common version of this job. We fit new hardware, key matching sets alike where the manufacturer allows it, and check the strike alignment so the deadbolt throws fully rather than binding.

Questions about this service
- Can you rekey rather than replace?
- Where the hardware takes a rekey kit and is in good condition, yes. Worn or mismatched hardware is usually better replaced.
- Are you a locksmith?
- No. We install and replace hardware; we don't pick locks or open doors you're locked out of. For lockouts, call a licensed locksmith.
- Can all my doors use the same key?
- Usually, if the hardware is from the same manufacturer and keyway. Buy sets marked keyed-alike or tell us and we'll advise.
