Rekeying is a cost-effective way to make old keys unusable without changing the entire lock. It’s ideal if:

Replacing locks is recommended when:

• The lock is damaged, worn, or outdated

• You’re upgrading to more secure or modern locking systems

• You want digital or smart lock functionality

• The lock type isn’t compatible with rekeying

We’ll inspect your locks and give honest, expert advice about whether rekeying or replacing is the best option. Wherever you’re located in the southern suburbs of Perth, we’ll ensure your locks are secure and up to standard — without overselling services you don’t need.

If Your Premises Has Been Broken Into, We Recommend Rekeying:

After a break-in, it’s essential to prioritise your safety and security. One of the most effective steps you can take is rekeying your locks. Here’s why it’s a smart choice:

1. Prevent Unauthorized Access: Rekeying your locks ensures that the existing keys will no longer work in your locks. This prevents any unauthorised individuals from gaining access to your property using the stolen keys.

2. Peace of Mind: Knowing that your existing keys are now obsolete offers peace of mind. You can rest assured that the stolen keys will not provide access to any locks within your property.

3. New Key Functionality: With rekeying, a new key will be provided, which will function perfectly with your locks. This means you can continue using your doors with confidence.

Congratulations on your new home or rental property! Ensuring your security is a top priority. Here are important considerations:

1. Key Ownership: Ask yourself who has had access to your property’s keys.

• Did builders return all keys they were given?
• Have tradesmen or contractors had access to the keys?
• Did the previous tenants return all copies, or could some keys have been duplicated?

2. The Safest Solution: Rekeying

Rekeying is the most secure and cost-effective solution in such situations. Here’s why:

• Lock Integrity: Rekeying allows you to keep your existing locks while rendering old keys ineffective.
• Cost Savings: Replacing locks can be expensive, but rekeying is a budget-friendly alternative.
• Enhanced Security: By adjusting the internal pins of the lock, access from previous keys is denied, ensuring your exclusive access.
