Locksmithing license: #2611 NCLLB<\/em><\/p>\n We offer:<\/p>\n Residential lock tumbler replacement<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Commercial cylinder rekeying<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Deadbolt and knob recalibration<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Key-to-code cutting services<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Replacing a lock means we take the whole hardware off the door and put a new one on. Rekeying involves changing the internal pins so the old key no longer works and a new one does. It is like changing your password instead of buying a whole new computer.<\/p>\n Unless you enjoy the idea of the previous owners, their kids, and their old cleaning crew having a key to your house, yes. You never know how many copies of that old key are floating around the neighborhood. Rekeying gives you a “clean slate” for your home security from day one.<\/p>\n Usually, no; locks have to be of the same “keyway” family to share a key. For example, a Kwikset key won’t fit into a Schlage lock no matter how hard you push. If your locks are different brands, we can often replace the cylinders so they all play nicely together on one ring.<\/p>\n For a standard Charlotte home with four or five locks, we can usually have you set up with new keys in under an hour. We work on-site out of our mobile service van, so you aren’t left with an unlocked house. We test every single lock twice to make sure the new keys turn like butter.<\/p>\n Yes, our locksmiths can pick the lock or disassemble the cylinder to “decode” it even if the original key is long gone. It takes a little more finesse, but it is a standard part of our service. You don’t have to worry if you\u2019ve lost your only copy; we\u2019ve got you covered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":337,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"class_list":["post-336","service","type-service","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/currentdesignco.dev\/grafted\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/service\/336","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/currentdesignco.dev\/grafted\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/service"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/currentdesignco.dev\/grafted\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/service"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/currentdesignco.dev\/grafted\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/337"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/currentdesignco.dev\/grafted\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=336"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
