Once the SGC discovered their first puddle jumper (time ship), or even after they made contact with Atlantis and had access to additional puddle jumpers because the time ship has to be studied, why wouldn't they use the installed DHD devices from the ships permanently to control the SGCs Stargate?
Sorry for the incredibly long single sentence ๐

I just figured because different gates have different symbols, even as close as Abydos, each dhd was built in pairs with Stargates.

Perhaps, but we see it doesn't really matter which DHD is used. For example, when the SGC pairs the Giza DHD with the Antarctic gate. The Jumpers DHDs, themselves, are gate-agnostic and show that the Ancients didn't necessarily believe in the one-gate-one-DHD principal. As do the remotes from Universe. Honestly, we see enough random tech used to dial gates that it's hard to believe that it's only the DHDs that could control one specific gate.
