Our approach

The keys you cannot account for

Every lock change comes down to the same question: who else can open this door? A previous tenant, a builder, a domestic worker who left three years ago, an ex-partner, a staff member who resigned badly. Nobody knows how many copies are out there, which is exactly the problem.

We change or rekey the cylinder so old keys stop working, and we can key several doors alike so you carry one key instead of five. If your existing hardware is decent, rekeying is usually cheaper than replacing the whole lock and we will say so.

After a break-in the job is bigger than the lock — strike plates pull out of frames, keeps bend, gate locks get levered. We repair what can be saved, replace what cannot, and give you an itemised invoice that insurers accept.

  • Lock replacement and rekeying
  • Several doors keyed alike to one key
  • Break-in repairs to locks, keeps and frames
  • Security upgrades to stronger cylinders
  • Itemised invoices for insurance claims

Questions

Common questions about this service

Yes — that is keying alike, and it is one of the most common requests we get from people who have just moved. It works as long as the locks are of compatible types, which we will confirm on site.
Same day, and usually within the hour in our core areas. If it happened overnight we will come out immediately and secure the property rather than leave you waiting until morning.
