Storefront & Exit Devices
Discount stores around Gastonia keep us busy with exit devices: this summer we rekeyed a Detex and cut five copies for one store, and replaced an entrance thumb turn at another in September. If a panic bar or back door is acting up, that's routine work for us.

On West 4th Avenue we rekeyed two locks and set up a new lockbox in the same visit; on East Franklin it was a rekey plus a fresh thumb turn. Rekeying keeps your hardware and changes who can get in.

A front door repair on Hickory Grove Road, a sticking lock on Kennett Avenue, and one August call where we redid another company's work. If a door isn't right, we'll tell you what it needs and what it doesn't.

Gastonia's neighborhoods range from historic mill-village homes near downtown to newer subdivisions off Robinwood and Union Road. The older housing stock means older hardware: skeleton-key mortise locks, worn knob sets, and doors that have settled over the decades so the bolt no longer meets the strike. That kind of work rewards patience and the right parts, and we carry both.
Franklin Boulevard and the Eastridge area carry the commercial calls: storefront lockouts, lock changes for retail spaces, and rekeys when a business changes hands. Gaston County landlords also call us at tenant turnover to rekey rather than replace, which keeps the cost per door down.

Eviction Lock Changes in Gaston County
When an eviction goes through, the sheriff's office executes the writ of possession and the property comes back to you. Most landlords change the locks the same day, and that is the visit we handle: we meet you at the house after the deputy is done, rekey or replace the locks on every outside door in one stop, and the only people holding the new keys are the ones you choose.
Usually rekeying is enough. The doors and hardware are fine, so the cylinders get new pins and the old keys simply stop working. Where a lock is damaged or missing we install new hardware and match it to the same key as the rest of the doors. If the house will sit empty through cleanout or repairs, we can hang a lockbox so you are not driving keys across the county.
This is standing work for us. One recent eviction call in our log covered the lockout, entry, and three rekeys in a single stop; another had us install six new locks at one property. An August job on West 4th Avenue here in Gastonia was the same package tenant turnovers call for: two locks rekeyed and a new lockbox hung at the door. If you have a court date coming, call before eviction day and we will plan the visit around it.
Recent Work in Gastonia
The summer log for Gastonia reads like a cross-section of the town. On East Franklin Boulevard in August we rekeyed a commercial door, fitted a new thumb turn, and serviced the exit device. One discount store on the retail strip had a worn lock swapped for new hardware, another got its exit device rekeyed with five fresh copies cut, and a national clothing retailer needed its door hinges adjusted. On the residential side: a front door repair on Hickory Grove Road, a service call on Donnington Way, and the West 4th Avenue rekey described above. Facility companies send us to their Gastonia locations on a regular schedule, which keeps a truck heading down US-74 most weeks.
That matters for residents too: when your lock quits at dinner time, the drive that decides your wait is often from the last commercial stop in town, not from Charlotte.
