About Public Locksmith

A Charlotte Commercial Locksmith Built on Integrity

Public Locksmith is owned and operated by John, a licensed North Carolina locksmith (NC License #2721). We have served the Charlotte metro area since 2021, with a focus on commercial locksmith work — master key systems, access control, commercial rekeying, and multi-tenant building service — while also handling residential and automotive clients across the NC/SC border region.

The Charlotte locksmith market is crowded with lead-generation middlemen and out-of-state call centers. We are the opposite of that: one licensed locksmith, answering his own phone, doing the work himself. The person who quotes your job is the person who does it.

Why We Focus on Commercial Work

Commercial locksmithing is a different trade than residential service. It requires key-control documentation, restricted keyway paperwork, master-key hierarchy planning, and the scheduling discipline to complete multi-suite rekeys around tenant business hours. Our commercial caseload — Ballantyne Corporate Park tenants, SouthPark medical and dental offices, Fort Mill I-77 corporate corridor buildings, and the property managers who run the multi-tenant complexes across the 28277 / 29708 / 29707 ZIPs — has grown steadily through referrals.

Our Commitment

• We quote the job before we start — no surprise charges
• We recommend repair before replacement when honest
• We show up when we say we will
• Every job is covered by our bonding and liability insurance
• We document our commercial key systems fully, with signed key-control paperwork
• Our NC locksmith license (#2721) is verifiable through the North Carolina Locksmith Licensing Board
