Rekeying answers the question people are really asking, which is not about the lock at all: who else still has a key? Changing the pins inside the cylinder retires every existing key while the hardware stays on the door.
Call Now: 03 4821 3333You pay for the work rather than the metal. Across a whole property it usually lands well under the cost of new locks on every opening, which is why it is the first thing we suggest when the existing hardware is sound.
Nobody can tell you how many keys exist for a house that has changed hands. Previous owners, their adult children, a cleaner, three trades and a property manager is a normal list, and none of it is anyone's fault. Retiring the lot takes an hour.
Same pins, same key, every door. On the larger blocks through Wheelers Hill, Templestowe and Donvale, where there are commonly four or five external openings plus a shed, most people rate this above the money they saved.
Ring now. We quote on the call and send the nearest van in your zone.
For key control it is identical - every old key stops working either way. A new lock only buys you more if you are also stepping up to a higher security standard than what is currently fitted.
Roughly a quarter of an hour for each cylinder, so a standard house is usually finished within the hour.
Occasionally. Badly worn or damaged mechanisms sometimes will not take new pins reliably, and a few older patterns have no available pinning kit. We check first and tell you before dismantling anything.
