Why customers in Hickory call us for rekeying

Rekeying is exactly the kind of Hickory job the distance was made for: it's planned, not panicked. Home buyers in Mountain View and Viewmont book us after closing to void every key the sellers, agents, and contractors ever handed out. Landlords with rentals around Lenoir-Rhyne University schedule turnover rekeys between tenants. And Hickory's commercial side — offices and retail along US-321 and Hwy 70, plus Downtown storefronts — calls us after staff changes, often asking for a master key system so the owner carries one key while employees carry restricted ones. Pricing is simple everywhere in the city: from $125, keyed alike at no extra charge, with a firm arrival window agreed in advance.

How we reach Hickory

Rekeys are scheduled jobs, which suits Hickory's distance — we set a window and you're not pacing the driveway. The run from Cornelius is I-77 to I-40 west, off at Exits 123–128. If you manage several rentals near Lenoir-Rhyne or offices along US-321, book them as one visit and we'll work them back-to-back.

Common rekeying calls near Hickory

  • Mountain View — new home purchase

    Buyers closed on a Mountain View house on a Friday. The sellers admitted keys were out with a cleaner, a dog sitter, and at least one neighbor — nobody could say how many copies existed. The new owners wanted every exterior lock on a single fresh key before moving in.

    Scheduled for Saturday morning with a firm window. Arrived after the I-40 run, rekeyed four cylinders — front deadbolt, back deadbolt, side-door knob, garage entry — all to one new key, and cut spare copies on-site before the move-in. Total: $220.

  • Downtown Hickory office

    Small firm in a Downtown Hickory building parted ways with an employee who didn't return his keys. The owner needed the street door, the suite door, and a records-room lock rekeyed before Monday, and wanted his own key to keep opening everything.

    Booked a Sunday slot so the office never closed. Rekeyed three cylinders and set them up so the owner's key opens all doors while staff keys open only the suite. Total: $165.

Frequently Asked Questions

I just closed on a house in Hickory — how many locks should I rekey and what will it cost?

Count your exterior keyed cylinders: front deadbolt, back or side door, garage entry, and any keyed outbuilding. On a typical Viewmont or Mountain View house that's three to five. Rekeying starts at $125, so that's $165–$275, all keyed to a single new key so every old copy — seller's, agent's, contractor's — stops working the moment we finish. We confirm the count and total on-site before starting any work.

I own several student rentals near Lenoir-Rhyne — can you rekey them all in one trip and set up a master key?

Yes, and that's the smart way to book Hickory given the drive from our base: one scheduled visit, properties worked back-to-back. We can also build a master key system — you carry one key that opens every unit, each tenant's key opens only their own door. Straight rekeying starts at $125 regardless of how many properties are on the route; we'll quote the master-key setup when we know your door count.

Do you come to me in Hickory for rekeying?

Yes — rekeying in Hickory, NC is mobile service. The technician travels to your car or your door from our Cornelius base with the tools and blanks for the job, so there is nothing to tow or drop off. We usually come in via I-40 Exits 123-128 or Hwy 321. That covers Downtown Hickory, Viewmont, Mountain View, Highland and the rest of the city.
