Moved into a new place, lost a key, or just want peace of mind? Rekeying is usually faster and cheaper than replacing your locks. Back to Charlotte Locksmith →
Rekeying keeps your existing hardware in place and changes the internal pins so old keys stop working and new ones are cut to match. It's our most common recommendation after a move, a lost key, or a tenant change. We serve Uptown, University City, Ballantyne, South End, NoDa, Steele Creek, and surrounding cities including Matthews, Huntersville, and Concord.
Rekeying is priced per lock, typically $20 to $50 per cylinder for standard hardware, confirmed before we start.
In most cases, yes. Rekeying keeps your existing hardware and changes only the internal pins, which is usually faster and more affordable than full replacement.
Common times are after moving into a new home, after losing a key, or after a roommate or tenant moves out.
