Why customers in Matthews call us for rekeying
Post-move-in rekeys are the single steadiest Matthews call we get, and the housing stock explains why. Established neighborhoods turn over constantly, and a house that’s changed hands two or three times since the 1990s carries an unknowable trail of key copies — previous owners, their relatives, old cleaners, that contractor from the kitchen remodel. Rekeying resets all of it from $125, keeping your existing hardware and issuing fresh keys only you hold. The other steady stream is commercial: storefronts and offices along the Independence Blvd and Sycamore Commons retail corridors rekeying after staff changes. One scheduled visit, every door keyed to a single new key.
How we reach Matthews
Rekeys aren’t emergencies, so we schedule them. You get a set arrival window, we get one trip that covers every cylinder on the property, and nobody pays for urgency they don’t need.

Common rekeying calls near Matthews
Crews Road area — post-purchase rekey
Buyers closed on a 1990s house in the Crews Road area and got a ring of assorted keys at the walkthrough — clearly not the full set ever made. Between prior owners, a long-time cleaner, and an old lockbox, they had no idea who could still open their front door.
Scheduled a morning window for move-in week. Rekeyed four cylinders — front deadbolt, front knob, back door, and garage entry — to one fresh key, cut extra copies, tested everything. Total: $220.
Independence Blvd retail corridor
Store manager at a shop along the Independence Blvd corridor had a keyholder employee leave on bad terms without returning keys. Front entry and rear service door both needed to stop answering to the old key before the next cash deposit.
Booked a before-hours visit so the sales floor never closed. Rekeyed both cylinders, issued a fresh set of numbered keys for remaining staff, and confirmed the old keys were dead in both doors. Total: $110.
