Your Trusted Locksmith in Charlotte, NC, USA - Available 24/7

Pro Locksmith Corp offers comprehensive residential locksmith services designed to keep Charlotte families safe. From simple lock changes to sophisticated smart lock installation, we have the expertise to enhance your home security at every level.

Lock rekey services are an affordable alternative to full lock replacement. When you rekey your locks, we change the internal pin configuration so old keys no longer work, while keeping your existing hardware. This is ideal when you've moved into a new home, lost a key, or want to ensure former roommates or service providers can no longer access your property. Usually, rekeying costs a fraction of what you'd pay for entirely new locks.

We also specialize in mailbox lock repair and replacement, furniture lock services, and safe opening for residential customers. Whether you've inherited a locked safe or need to upgrade your filing cabinet security, our technicians handle these specialized tasks with precision and discretion. Every job, from a simple door knob installation to a complete home security upgrade, receives the same professional attention to detail.

Getting locked out of your car or losing your keys doesn't have to mean an expensive trip to the dealership.

Our technicians are trained to work on all major vehicle models and can usually complete the job on-site.

We provide car key replacement, including transponder and chip keys that require programming. If you've lost your only key, we can create a new one using your vehicle's VIN information. Our services also include car lockout assistance, ignition repair, and broken key extraction from door locks or ignitions. Many customers are surprised to learn that hiring a professional auto locksmith is significantly less expensive than dealer service.

Our mobile units are equipped with the premium tools and equipment needed to service modern vehicles securely. Whether you're stranded in a parking lot in NoDa or locked out at a shopping center in Ballantyne, one call to (704) 769-2988 brings expert assistance directly to your location. We treat your vehicle with care and complete every job without damaging your car's lock system or body.

The internet is full of DIY methods for handling basic lockouts, from the plastic card technique to using a coat hanger or shoelace. While these approaches might work in simple situations with older locks, they often cause more harm than good on modern security hardware. Understanding when to attempt a DIY fix and when to call a professional can save you time, money, and frustration.

Attempting to open a locked door with improvised tools risks damaging the lock mechanism, door frame, or even the door knob itself. What starts as a simple lockout can quickly become an expensive repair job. Modern locks, especially those on newer homes and vehicles, are specifically designed to resist these pop-open techniques. Forcing entry can also void warranties on high-security locks.

When should you call a professional? Any time you're dealing with a deadbolt, electronic lock, automotive lock, or high-security system, professional assistance is the safe choice. Our licensed technicians have the proper tools and training to open locks without damage, and we can often complete the job faster than you'd spend researching and attempting DIY solutions. For true emergencies, the peace of mind that comes with professional service is invaluable.
