Why customers in Belmont call us for rekeying
Rapid residential growth makes Belmont a closing-day town, and closing day is rekey day. Every sale in a market moving this fast leaves a trail of keys — sellers, agents, stagers, punch-list contractors on the new builds, decades of neighbors and housekeepers on the older homes near downtown. A rekey erases all of them for $55 per cylinder without replacing hardware you may have just paid for. The older housing stock adds its own reason to call: original and mid-century locks around the historic core often can't be rekeyed by a big-box kiosk, but we handle them on-site and key everything — old mortise, new deadbolt, garage entry — to one fresh key.
How fast we reach Belmont
Rekeys are scheduled visits rather than emergency dispatches, so we book Belmont around your closing or move-in date — same-day is usually available. From Cornelius (28031) we run I-485 to I-85, exiting at 26 or 27, and arrive in the standard 35–45 minutes. One visit covers every door on the property; tell us the cylinder count when you book and we'll quote the exact total up front.

Common rekeying calls near Belmont
New-construction home off Hwy 273
Buyers closed Thursday on a newly built house. During the walkthrough they learned the builder's crews had used a contractor master key for months — painters, flooring installers, and the punch-list carpenter had all carried access. They wanted every keyed cylinder fresh before the moving truck arrived Saturday.
Booked a Friday morning slot, arrived on schedule. Rekeyed four cylinders — front entry deadbolt, garage service door, back slider handle lock, and the storage room — all to a single new key, killing the construction master. On-site under an hour. Total: $220 (4 cylinders × $55).
Older home near Stowe Park
New owners of a 1950s house a short walk from Stowe Park inherited a shoebox of unlabeled keys and no idea who else had copies — the previous owner had lived there thirty years. A hardware-store clerk had already told them the older back-door lock 'couldn't be rekeyed' and quoted full replacement.
Rekeyed all three exterior cylinders on-site, including the older back-door lock the store had refused — no replacement needed, original hardware kept. One new key for the whole house, three copies cut. Total: $165 (3 cylinders × $55) plus standard per-key copies.
