Below are answers to some of the more frequently asked questions we receive at Stewart Locksmiths. If you still need answers, don’t hesitate to give us a call.
No. I don’t provide any services for cars and can’t make or copy car keys. I suggest searching Google for an ‘automotive locksmith’ in your area.
Yes. I can install a lock you’ve already purchased. However, I’ll need to confirm the lock is suitable for your application. If possible, I recommend you call first so we can talk it through. That way, you won’t waste your money buying a lock that’s not going to work on your door or gate. Learn more about lock supply & installation.
Yes, you can change your lock. Learn more about rekeying locks.
Note: Some apartment complexes use a master key system. This means that your front door key also works common doors such as a bin room or stairwell. Your new apartment key will not work these common doors, meaning you’ll still need to keep your old key for these doors. Learn more about master key systems.
Yes, I can provide and install digital locks to apartment doors. Some apartment doors are fire rated which means a fire rated digital lock is required. You may also need the approval of your owner’s corporation, as you’ll be changing the appearance of your front door. Learn more about digital lock installation.

There are many reasons why your door may not be locking. For example, there could be a problem with the alignment due to movement, the lock may be faulty and require replacement or your key may be worn or badly cut. I’m qualified to diagnose and professionally repair any of these issues.
