Rekeying changes the internals of a lock so old keys no longer work. It is usually cheaper than new hardware and it is the right call after a lost key, a housemate moving out, or handing over a property.
What's included
- Rekeying existing cylinders on site
- Keyed-alike setups across multiple doors
- Duplicate keys cut and tested in the lock
- Broken key extraction and replacement
- Padlock and cabinet key work
How the job runs
- 1
Check the cylinder
Not every cylinder is worth rekeying. Worn ones get quoted for replacement instead.
- 2
Rekey
New pinning fitted, old keys retired permanently.
- 3
Cut and test
Every new key is tested in the lock before we leave, not just cut to profile.
- 4
Record
You get a record of how many keys were issued.
Things worth knowing
- We cut keys for the property or vehicle you can show entitlement to. We do not duplicate keys stamped 'do not duplicate' without written authority from the system holder.
