Lock Rekeying · Burwood East
Rekeying changes the internal pins of a lock so a new key works and every old key stops working. The lock body stays on the door. It is the quickest, most economical way to take back control of who can get in after moving house, losing keys, or changing tenants or staff.

Inside most cylinders is a row of small pins of different lengths. The cuts on your key lift them to exactly the right height so the cylinder can turn. Rekeying replaces those pins with a new combination and a new key is cut to match. Every old key, however many copies exist, stops working.
Rekey when you move into a property, when keys are lost or stolen, when a tenant or staff member leaves without returning keys, or after a relationship ends. If the locks are in good working order, rekeying gives you the same result as new locks for a fraction of the cost.
Rekeying is the moment to simplify. Compatible locks across your front door, back door, garage and screen doors can be rekeyed to work from a single key. Some brands do not share key profiles, in which case we can replace just the odd cylinder so it matches the rest.
Rental providers and agents often rekey between renters. Renters who want locks rekeyed should check with their rental provider first, and a copy of the new key normally needs to be supplied to them. Restricted building systems may require authorisation from the owners corporation before keys can be cut.
