Our rekey services are widely used across Charleston and the Lowcountry. And we come to you. Our mobile locksmiths are completely ready to rekey any house, office or vehicle. In one day alone are technicians could be working in Summerville and also doing jobs out of Folly Beach and then downtown on the Charleston peninsula. There is a high demand for rekey services in the area. The reason for this is that is generally much cheaper to rekey something than to get new locks. When you rekey, you keep all the existing hardware but just change out the way the lock enters into the locking mechanism. The result is that everything looks the same but you now have a new key.
Getting new keys is a great idea any time you move into a new home. You never know who had the keys before you. Even if the person you sold the home is reliable, there is no telling how many copies exist. So taking advantage of rekeying services is the smart move.
We rekey cars as well. This is not as common, but is doable and may even be a good idea in certain circumstance. Call our locksmiths to find out what your best options are in Charleston.
New Installation or Rekey?
Sometimes a locksmith will suggest replacing the locks rather than rekeying. It’s hard to say what is the best option. In most cases rekeing is all that you need. When this is the case, our locksmith will always advise customers to rekey. Our Charleston customers are like family and we never suggest anything that we would not tell our own family. However every now and then it does make sense to get a new lock. This is the case when the lock is highly rusted or corroded. This is also the case when there is a specialty lock that can not be rekeyed. Although this is uncommon, it does occur every now and then.
