Rekeying vs. Replacing Locks: A Guide for Laurel Hill, NC Homeowners


When you need to change who has access to your Laurel Hill, NC home, you have two primary options: rekeying the locks or replacing them entirely. The team at Blackwood Mobile Locksmith can help you decide which is right for you.

Rekeying is a process where a locksmith changes the internal pinning of your existing lock cylinder. The old key will no longer fit or turn the lock. The technician then creates a new key that matches the new pin configuration. As a result of this, you keep your existing doorknobs and deadbolts, but they are operated by a completely new key. It's like getting a new lock without changing the hardware.

Lock replacement is the process of completely removing the old lock hardware (knob, lever, deadbolt) and installing a brand new unit. With this, you get entirely new hardware, which may have a different style, finish, or security level, along with new keys.





When to Rekey Your Locks:


Rekeying is the ideal solution in many common situations for Laurel Hill, NC homeowners. Choose to rekey if:

  • You Just Moved into a New Home: You have no idea how many copies of the old key exist. Rekeying is an essential and affordable first security step.
  • You've Lost a Set of Keys: If a key is lost or stolen, rekeying immediately ensures no one can use that lost key to access your home.
  • You Want One Key for All Doors: If you have multiple keys for different doors (from the same brand), a locksmith can rekey them all to work with a single key for convenience.
  • Your Existing Locks are in Good Condition: If your current hardware is high-quality, matches your home's aesthetic, and is functioning well, there's no need to pay for new hardware. Rekeying is much more cost-effective.




When to Replace Your Locks:


Sometimes, a full replacement is necessary or more desirable. Choose to replace your locks if:

  • You Want to Upgrade Security: If your current locks are old, low-grade, or you want to move up to a high-security deadbolt, a keypad lock, or a smart lock.
  • Your Locks are Damaged or Worn Out: If a lock is rusted, broken, or malfunctioning in a way that can't be repaired, it must be replaced.
  • You Are Changing Hardware Styles or Finishes: If you're remodeling your Laurel Hill, NC home and want to update the look of your door hardware (e.g., from brass to matte black), you'll need to replace the locks.
  • All Your Locks are Different Brands: If you want a single key solution but your existing locks are from different manufacturers, you'll need to replace them with a single brand before they can be keyed alike.The technicians at Blackwood Mobile Locksmith can quickly assess your needs and your existing hardware to provide a clear recommendation, helping you make the most secure and cost-effective choice for your Laurel Hill, NC home.

Zip Codes, Influence, and Service Areas

In 1797 the Laurel Hill Presbyterian Church was established. The church was named for the laurel growing in the area. A community formed in the vicinity of the church, and after the American Revolutionary War it prospered as a center of commerce. Most of the initial settlers were Scottish Highlanders. A post office was established by 1822. A line of the Wilmington, Charlotte and Rutherford Railroad was later laid and a depot established to the south of the church area, and by 1861 most of the community had migrated there. A turpentine distillery and tub manufacturer were established. Federal troops under William Tecumseh Sherman camped by the church in 1865 during the Carolinas campaign of the American Civil War. In the 1870s John F. McNair created a general store in Laurel Hill. In 1900 Z.V. Pate purchased McNair's general store and transformed it into a large regional furniture retailer. Beginning in 2004, the community has hosted an annual festival, LaurelFest. In 2020 the local community center was demolished and the Scotland County Commission contracted construction of a new one the following year.
