Commercial Lock Change Raleigh NC FAQ
What is the difference between rekeying and changing a lock?
Rekeying changes the internal key combination while keeping compatible hardware. A lock change replaces the cylinder, lockset, or other hardware.
Should I change business locks after an employee leaves?
Consider the employee’s access level, whether all keys were returned, whether duplicates may exist, and the sensitivity of the affected areas. Rekeying is often a practical response.
Can all business locks use the same key?
Many compatible locks can be keyed alike, but different brands, keyways, formats, and security needs may require replacement or separate groups.
Can you change storefront and office locks during one visit?
Often, yes, if the required compatible parts are available and the project scope is established in advance. Send photos and a door count.
Is rekeying cheaper than replacing commercial locks?
Rekeying is often less expensive when existing hardware is compatible and in good condition, but damaged or unsuitable hardware may need replacement.
How much does a commercial lock change cost?
Cost depends on the lock type, number of doors, hardware selected, key quantities, keying plan, and labor. Photos and an inventory improve initial estimates.
