Change the Locks on Your Business in Durham, NC
A business lock change replaces the lock hardware on a door instead of only changing its key. It is the right move when a lock is worn or broken, when a door was forced, when you take over a new space, or when you need hardware your current lock cannot provide.
Durham Locksmith is locally owned and operated, and our technicians are trained and background-checked. Because we work 7 AM to 11 PM every day, jobs can be scheduled before you open or after you close.

Lock change or re-key? What your business needs
Both cut off old keys. A re-key changes the key; a lock change replaces the hardware.
Change the lock when…
the lock is worn, broken or was forced; you want higher-security hardware; you are moving into a new space; or the door needs a different type of lock, such as a keypad.
Re-key instead when…
the hardware is sound and you only need to cut off old keys, for example after staff changes or lost keys. A business lock re-key keeps your locks and is usually the lower-cost option.
Managing several doors? A master key system lets different people open different doors with one key each.

We handle the whole job, from removing the old hardware to testing the new lock.

Replace keys with codes you can change. See electronic and keyless entry locks.

Business Lock Change Questions
What is a business lock change?
A business lock change removes your existing commercial lock hardware and installs a new lock on your door. It is used when a lock is damaged, outdated, or no longer meets the security needs of your business in Durham, NC.
When should a business change its locks?
Replacing business locks is recommended when existing locks are broken, worn, or outdated, after a security incident or forced entry, when you take over a new space, or when you need higher-security hardware that your current locks cannot provide.
Business lock change or re-key: which do I need?
A re-key keeps your current lock hardware and only changes the key that operates it, which is typically more affordable. A lock change replaces the entire lock and is used when the old hardware itself needs to go. See business lock re-key. If you are not sure, we will look at the lock and tell you which makes sense.
Can you change the locks on several doors or a whole building?
Yes. Tell us how many doors and we will quote the whole job before we start. For several doors, a master key system lets different people open different doors with one key each.
Do you work with landlords and property managers?
Yes. We change and re-key locks for rental and commercial properties, for example when a tenant moves out or keys go missing.

The price depends on how many doors, the type of lock and the condition of the door. Call (919) 769-3432 with those details and we will give you the price before we start. There are no hidden fees.
