Changing locks protects your home when you move in, after losing keys, following break-ins, or during relationship changes. NC Local Locksmith provides complete lock change services installing new locks on all entry doors, upgrading to higher security, and ensuring only you control access to your property.
When to Change Locks
Moving into a new home or apartment, lost or stolen keys, after break-in attempts or burglaries, relationship changes requiring security, roommate situations when people move out, and upgrading from old, worn locks all require professional lock changes.
Lock changes provide fresh security with new keys that only you and your family possess. Unlike rekeying which reuses existing hardware, changing locks means completely new mechanisms and keys.
Complete Lock Replacement
We remove old locks completely, install new deadbolts and entry locks, ensure proper alignment and operation, provide all new keys, match finishes to your door hardware, and install high-security options if desired.
New locks offer improved security features, smoother operation than worn mechanisms, modern appearance, and peace of mind knowing your home’s security is completely fresh.
Upgrade Opportunities
Lock changes provide opportunities to enhance security—upgrade to Grade 1 high-security deadbolts, install smart locks with keyless entry, add additional deadbolts where needed, replace old locks with modern pick-resistant models, and standardize all locks to work with the same key.
We assess your current security and recommend improvements matching your needs and budget.

Lock Change vs. Rekey
Rekeying keeps existing locks and just changes the pins so new keys work, costing less but retaining old hardware. Lock changes install completely new locks, costing more but providing fresh mechanisms, upgraded security, and improved appearance. We explain both options honestly so you make informed decisions.
All Entry Points
Effective security requires changing locks on all entry doors—front door, back door, side doors, garage entry doors, and any other access point. We handle complete home lock changes efficiently, often completing multiple doors in a single appointment.
