How Ricky can help.
Rekeying changes the internal key combination of a suitable lock so it works with a new key and the previous key no longer operates that cylinder. Ricky can assess your existing locks and rekey compatible hardware without replacing the complete lock. This can be useful after moving house, losing keys or changing who has access to a business.
If you are carrying several keys, ask about keying compatible locks alike so one key operates the agreed doors. Ricky can check the keyways, identify which cylinders need changing and test the new keys with you. Rekeying changes key access; a worn or broken mechanism may still need repair or replacement.
Common jobs
we can help with.
Lost keys or changing keyholders
Discuss rekeying the affected locks when a key goes missing or access arrangements change. Confirm which old keys will stop working and which locks are outside the job.
Fewer keys to carry
Compatible cylinders can often be keyed alike. For businesses needing different access levels, ask about a suitable master-key arrangement instead.
Arrange a mobile locksmith visit.
Tell Ricky your suburb, how many doors need attention and what you would like to change. For planned work, photos of the current locks can help prepare for the visit. Ask about the scope, availability and charges before confirming.
Your questions, answered
Before you book.
Need advice for your particular lock?
Talk to Ricky on 0423 536 804.
Will I need to replace the handles as well?
Usually a rekey concerns the cylinder rather than the whole handle or lockset, provided the hardware is suitable and in good condition. Ricky will check the actual lock before confirming the work.
Does rekeying change every lock at the property?
Only the locks included in the work. Make a list of the doors and confirm the scope, number of new keys and any compatible locks to be keyed alike.
