The full menu
Rekeys, deadbolt and handleset installs, lock repair on doors that have shifted with the foundation, smart-lock setup, and house lockouts. We work with Schlage, Kwikset, Baldwin, Defiant, and the high-security brands when a homeowner wants more than the hardware-store grade. Common companions: lock rekeying and new-home lock changes.
Master key systems, commercial-grade mortise and cylindrical locks, panic and exit hardware, door closers, and rekeys after staffing changes. We build keying schedules so a manager's key opens what it should and nothing it shouldn't. Pairs with access control and commercial rekeys.
Key cutting and transponder programming, proximity-fob replacement, all-keys-lost origination, ignition repair, and car lockouts. Blade keys, laser-cut (sidewinder) keys, and push-to-start systems for most domestic and import makes. See car key replacement and transponder programming.
Re-pinning cylinders to a new key so old copies stop working, the affordable answer after a move, a breakup, or a lost key. Multiple doors can be keyed alike. Works on most residential and light-commercial hardware without replacing a thing.
Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, and ASSA Abloy restricted-keyway systems. Pick resistance, drill resistance, and key control, meaning no one duplicates your key without authorization. A strong fit for rental owners, shared buildings, and anyone tired of wondering who has a copy.
Keypads, card and fob readers, electric strikes, and magnetic locks for offices, gyms, and multi-family buildings. Change who gets in by editing credentials instead of pulling cylinders. Integrates with existing commercial doors and panic hardware.
Combination changes, dial repair, dead-keypad replacement, and non-destructive safe opening for home and business safes. We read the model and lock first, and open without drilling whenever the safe allows it.

Service Quality
Physical lock cylinders and digital access boards form the primary threshold of your security. In Charlotte, NC, properties face distinct challenges that demand tailored hardware answers. Upgrading entrance locks to heavy-duty deadbolts, replacing warn-out cylinders, and checking door latch alignment significantly reduces vulnerability to force bypass. Our service evaluations inspect these exact details to suggest the most robust and cost-effective upgrades for your home or storefront.
For new residents moving to the Charlotte, NC area, rekeying your exterior doors is the most practical first step. It changes the internal lock pin configuration to operate under an entirely new key pattern, rendering any old contractor, real estate, or prior owner keys completely inoperable.

Furthermore, our advanced digital lock installations provide keyless convenience. Keypad deadbolts, smart home locks, and commercial card readers allow you to control and log access through your smartphone or custom pin codes. We install, calibrate, and program these secure units, teaching you how to manage codes easily.
