We stock standard and ANSI Grade 1 deadbolts, knobsets, and lever sets. If you have a specific brand — Schlage, Kwikset, Baldwin — we can install hardware you supply or source it for you.
Standard Deadbolt Replacement
Swap an old or damaged deadbolt for a new ANSI Grade 2 or Grade 1 unit. Schlage B60N or equivalent.
High-Security Deadbolt
Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, or ANSI Grade 1 with pick, bump, and drill resistance. Ideal for Downtown Summerville homes near high-crime corridors.
Knobset or Lever Replacement
Interior or exterior knobset swap. Common for rental properties, new construction in Nexton and Carnes Crossroads.
Smart Lock Installation
Schlage Encode, Kwikset Halo, or Yale Assure. We handle wiring, app setup, and Z-Wave/Zigbee pairing where applicable.
When Should You Change Your Locks?
- Moving into a new home in Nexton, Cane Bay, or Carnes Crossroads — builder keys went to every contractor before you closed
- After a break-in or attempted break-in (check the strike plate and door frame too)
- Lost or stolen keys — rekeying is cheaper, but if the lock is old or damaged, replacement makes more sense
- Eviction or change in tenants for a rental property
- Lock is stiff, sticking, or jammed — Summerville’s humid subtropical climate expands door frames and kills cylinders over time
- Upgrading to smart lock for STR or second home management
Rekeying vs. Lock Change — Which Do You Need?
Rekeying ($20–$45/lock) changes the internal pins so old keys no longer work. It’s faster and cheaper. Lock change ($85–$175) replaces the entire hardware. Choose rekeying if your locks are in good condition and less than 10 years old. Choose lock change if the lock is damaged, sticking, or you want to upgrade security grade.

How long does a lock change take?
Most single-door lock changes take 20 to 30 minutes. A full-home upgrade with multiple doors usually runs under two hours.
Can you match new locks to my existing keys?
Yes, we can key new hardware to match a key you already carry, so you are not juggling multiple keys for different doors.
Do you install smart locks as well as traditional deadbolts?
Yes, we install both. If you are unsure which fits your home, we can walk through the tradeoffs on the call before booking.
