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.

Understanding Locksmith Costs and What to Expect

One of the most common questions we receive is about locksmith pricing. At Pro Locksmith Corp, we believe in complete transparency so you can make informed decisions about your security needs. The cost of locksmith services varies based on several factors, including the type of service, time of day, and complexity of the job.

What does a locksmith usually charge? Basic lockout services in the Charlotte area typically range from $50-$100, while lock installation or replacement usually costs between $75-$200 depending on the hardware. Rekey services are often the most affordable option, generally running $15-$25 per lock when multiple locks are done together. Auto locksmith services vary widely based on the vehicle and key type, but we consistently offer rates that are less expensive than dealership alternatives.

We provide free estimates for all services, and our pricing is competitive with other rated professionals in the area. Unlike some companies that advertise cheap initial rates only to add hidden charges, our quotes include everything. If you're working within a budget, let us know - we can often suggest cost-effective alternatives like rekeying instead of full replacement or phased security upgrades over time.

DIY Methods vs. Professional Locksmith Assistance

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.

Commonly Asked Questions

How much does a locksmith cost in NC?
Locksmith costs in North Carolina vary based on the service type and complexity. Basic lockout services typically range from $50-$100, while lock installation costs $75-$200 depending on hardware. Rekey services are often the most affordable option at $15-$25 per lock. Pro Locksmith Corp provides free estimates and transparent pricing with no hidden charges.
What does a locksmith usually charge?
Most locksmiths charge a service call fee plus labor and parts. In the Charlotte area, you can expect to pay $50-$150 for standard services during business hours. After-hours and emergency services may cost more, but at Pro Locksmith Corp, we maintain fair 24/7 pricing and always provide upfront quotes before beginning any work.
Can a locksmith in Charlotte unlock my safe?
Yes, our certified technicians are trained in safe opening and can help you gain access to locked safes, whether you've lost the combination or the lock has malfunctioned. We use non-destructive methods whenever possible and can also provide safe repair and installation services throughout the Charlotte metro area.
Is it cheaper to call an auto locksmith or a dealer?
Calling an auto locksmith is almost always less expensive than going to a dealership. Dealerships typically charge premium prices for key replacement and often require towing your vehicle to their location. Our mobile auto locksmith service comes to you and usually costs a fraction of what dealerships charge for the same service.
What to do if you can't afford a locksmith?
If budget is a concern, contact us to discuss affordable options. We offer competitive rates and can often suggest cost-effective alternatives like rekeying instead of replacement. Some basic lockouts on older doors may be resolved with simple DIY methods, but for most situations, professional service prevents costly damage and provides lasting results.

Rekeying is typically much cheaper than full lock replacement. When you rekey, we modify the existing lock mechanism to work with new keys while keeping your current hardware. This costs $15-$25 per lock versus $75-$200 for new lock installation. We recommend rekeying when your locks are in good condition and you simply need to change who has access.

For emergencies, our technicians typically arrive within 20-30 minutes depending on your location and current demand. We cover Mecklenburg, Union, Cabarrus, and Gaston counties with strategically positioned mobile units ready to respond.
