Commercial Rekey
Rekey commercial locks after employee turnover, lost keys, or security incidents.
Employee turnover, lost keys, security incidents, or property changes all create situations where commercial locks need rekeying. We rekey commercial cylinders the same day across the Charlotte / Lake Norman area — typically arriving in 30-60 minutes and completing 5-10 doors in a single trip.
Standard commercial cylinder rekey is $30 per cylinder (slightly higher than residential due to thicker pins and different keyway tolerances). Master key system rekeys are billed separately because the hierarchy must be preserved across the system.

Common scenarios
Real situations we get called for — and what they typically cost.
After employee termination
Don't wait for Monday. We do same-day rekey on whatever doors that person had access to. Bulk pricing applies if 10+ cylinders.
After a break-in or attempted entry
Rekey everything that was touched plus everything anyone with potentially-compromised keys could access. Common scope: 8-15 cylinders, ~$300-500 total.
