New Home? Rekey Before Unpacking Your First Box

New construction in Nexton, Cane Bay, Carnes Crossroads, or Summers Corner? Your builder gave copies of your key to framers, electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs, and inspectors before you closed. “Brand new locks” does not mean only you have a key. Rekeying is the first thing a security-aware homeowner does after closing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Rekeying Services Summerville SC — Questions Answered

Yes — always, without exception. Builder-grade locks on new construction in Nexton, Cane Bay, Carnes Crossroads, and Summers Corner are keyed during construction. That key goes to framers, electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and inspectors before closing. The builder may hand you “the only key” — but that is never actually true. Rekey within the first week.
Rekeying changes the internal pins so a new key works — your existing hardware stays. Changing locks replaces the entire lock assembly with new hardware. Rekeying is cheaper ($20–$45 per lock vs $100–$180 for a full replacement) and equally effective when your hardware is in good condition.
A typical Summerville home has 3–5 keyed locks. At $20–$45 per lock, a full home rekey runs $100–$200 and takes under an hour. We rekey all exterior locks to one new master key so you only carry one key.
Most Summerville homes are fully rekeyed in 45–60 minutes. We bring professional rekeying kits and key blanks for all common lock brands (Schlage, Kwikset, Defiant) and most specialty brands. You get new keys on the spot.
