What is Rekeying & Why Does it Matter?

Rekeying a lock involves changing the internal components so old keys no longer work. Instead of replacing the entire lock, rekeying provides a cost-effective way to improve security while maintaining the same hardware.

Why Rekey Your Locks?

Rekeying your locks is an essential step in protecting your home or business from unauthorised access. Common reasons to rekey include:

✔ Moving into a new home or office
Ensure previous owners, tenants, or contractors can’t access your property.
✔ Lost or stolen keys
Prevent potential break-ins by rendering lost keys useless.
✔ Too many people have had access
Control who has access by resetting your locks.
✔ Want a master key system
Simplify access with a single key that works across all doors.

Many people assume they need to change their entire lock, but rekeying is often a better option:

• Cheaper than replacing locks
  Keep your existing locks and just change the key.
• Faster and more convenient
  No need to install new hardware.
• Improves security without major costs
  Perfect for homeowners, landlords, and business owners.
