How we help

The right replacement starts with the door

A replacement lock has to fit more than the existing hole. Door material, thickness, frame, backset, weather exposure and normal operation all matter.

The aim is a reliable setup that household members, tenants or staff can use correctly every day. Extra complexity is not automatically extra security.

If lost keys are the only concern and the lock remains sound, a rekey may be sufficient instead of full replacement.

Questions

Helpful answers before the job

Do I need to replace a lock after losing keys?

Not always. If the hardware is suitable and serviceable, rekeying may stop the old key from working without replacing the full lock.

Can you replace a lock with a different type?

Sometimes, subject to the door, frame, dimensions, access needs and any property-management requirements.

Can new locks use the same key?

Compatible cylinders can sometimes be keyed alike. This should be planned before hardware is ordered or fitted.

What if the door itself is misaligned?

Alignment should be addressed as part of the assessment; fitting a new lock without correcting the cause may produce the same problem.

Who approves lock replacement in a rental or strata property?

The owner, authorised property manager or body corporate may need to approve work, especially for common property or managed key systems.
