Services
Founded in 2003 by Jason Cornell and Dave Phillips (retired in 2014), Anchor Security & Locksmith has built its reputation on providing rapid, on-call services for property management companies, manufacturers, car dealers, marinas, real estate agents, retail outlets, and individuals in the Lake Norman area and surrounding counties.
Fire, burglary, water damage-these are the most common causes of asset loss, and all of them can be guarded against by storing valuables in an appropriate safe. But how do you know what's appropriate? You should consider the items you'll be storing-documents, jewelry, guns, cash, etc.-and then choose a size and kind that protects those assets well.
If you've just purchased a home, you should definitely have all your outside locks changed. Your family's security is important, and to help maintain that security, we can change the internal parts of the lock cylinders so old keys no longer work. Then you'll have peace of mind, knowing you are the only one who has access to your home's keys.
You probably don't think much about your doors until they bind on the doorframe, swing open unexpectedly, or squeak at the hinges. All of these issues are caused by an improperly installed door. Using the wrong screws can cause a door to rub and scrape over time and even cause warping. And if a door doesn't nest well into the casing, threshold, and door jamb, you'll either have a door that sticks or one that swings open by itself.
Install, replace, repair and adjust all closer's, exit devices, hinges, pulls and many other hardware items found on your door. Please call with any and all questions. The ability to open doors by means other than a mechanical key. We carry a good selection of commercial safes for sale and install in our Cornelius store.

We were unable to open our front door lock so I appreciate that they did their best to fit us in on the day I called. The technician didn't have the part but came back and completed the job the next day. Great customer service!

This is a really good locksmith, they are able to cut T5 titanium key for my 1993 Nissan Skyline GTR. I called 2 other locksmith and they wouldnt even attemtp to cut the key. The shop is full of safe and various locks. Commercial or residential they know it. I highly recommend calling them for any locksmith question you have. You can get keys cut with a machine but not many can still cut by hand with precision. Take a look at the keys they cut for me.

I needed an extra key cut for my car, and emailed Anchor for a quote after coming across their website on Google. The owner, Jason, responded in less than an hour with a competitive price. I stopped by the next day (today) to have it cut, and the employees couldn't have been friendlier. I was in and out within ten minutes, and Jason even gave me a code with which I can have additional keys made in the future if I ever lose mine. On all accounts, this seems to be a well-run business and one I can recommend without hesitation.

Anchor came to my rescue when I was locked out with my dog locked inside. They made my job a priority when they found out about the dog. Everyone I encountered at Anchor on the phone or in person was kind, professional and committed to helping me. So very happy to have this local business in my community!

These guys know their business and they know how to treat a customer. We had two transactions with them. One was when an inconsiderate house staff mailed us a key in a flimsy envelope and when we receive the envelope it was just empty with a hole in it. Now we needed to change all the locks on the doors for security purposes. The young guy who came out from anchor was mild-mannered and professional and worked quickly in an organized fashion and was very tolerant of me and my homeschooled children asking 100 questions about the process and all his shiny tools .
The second situation we had was when
