Why customers in Catawba call us for rekeying
Rekeying requests from Catawba split three ways. Lakefront closings first: west-shore homes change hands with keys scattered among sellers, agents, and years of contractors, and new owners want every cylinder keyed fresh before the moving truck arrives. Vacation-rental turnover second: hosts in the village's rental mix rekey between guest cycles rather than gamble on unreturned copies. And third — a genuinely Catawba specialty — the outbuildings. Lake properties here carry keyed dock boxes, boat-gear sheds, and detached garages that suburban houses simply don't have, and we rekey those cylinders on the same visit at the same rate. Rekeying starts at $125, keyed alike to one fresh key wherever the hardware allows, nothing replaced.
How we reach Catawba
Rekeys are usually scheduled rather than emergency-dispatched, which lets us pick the clean window: a mid-morning run up Hwy 150 and Hwy 16 misses both commuter and lake traffic. Give us the full cylinder count when you book — house, dock box, shed — so a single visit covers the whole property, and we'll confirm the arrival window with you.

Common rekeying calls near Catawba
Lakefront purchase, Lake Norman west shore
Buyers closed on a west-shore lake home and had no idea how many keys were floating around — the sellers mentioned a cleaner, a dock contractor, and 'probably a neighbor or two.' They wanted everything fresh before move-in day.
Scheduled for the morning after closing. Rekeyed four cylinders — front deadbolt, back door, garage entry, and the dock-side shed — all to one new key, with copies cut on-site. Total: $220.
Rental cottage off Hwy 10
Host discovered at checkout that the departing guests had never returned the physical backup key kept for power-outage access. Next booking arrived the following afternoon, and the host didn't want an unaccounted key in circulation.
Booked for the next morning. Rekeyed three cylinders — both exterior doors and the storage closet — to a fresh key and cut new backups, finished before the next guests arrived. Total: $165.
