How we help

Rekeying gives an existing lock a new key combination

The lock cylinder is adjusted so the old key no longer operates it, then new keys are supplied.

It is a practical option when the current hardware is in sound condition and still appropriate for the door. If the lock is badly worn, damaged or unsuitable, repair or replacement may make more sense.

Selected compatible locks can sometimes be keyed alike, reducing the number of keys needed for everyday access.

Questions

Helpful answers before the job

Can a lock be rekeyed instead of replaced?

Often, yes. Rekeying changes the internal key combination so old keys stop working while the existing lock body remains in place. It is useful after moving, a tenancy change or lost keys, provided the hardware is still serviceable.

Is rekeying cheaper than replacing locks?

It can be when the existing hardware is serviceable, but total cost depends on the number and type of cylinders, keys and access arrangements.

Can all my doors use one key?

Sometimes. Locks need compatible cylinders and the access plan must make sense. A site assessment confirms what can be keyed alike.

Will the old keys stop working?

Yes, for the cylinders that are successfully rekeyed. Other locks not included in the work remain unchanged.

Can you work on strata or rental property locks?

Yes, when the person requesting work has the authority to approve it. Common-property doors, restricted keys and master-key systems may require written approval from the body corporate, agent or property manager.
