Rekey Services You Can Trust

Rekeying involves altering the internal mechanism of a lock so that it works with a new key. This process is often preferred over completely replacing the lock, as it provides a cost-effective and efficient way to enhance security. Whether you’re moving into a new home, changing tenants in a rental property, or simply want to upgrade your security measures, rekeying is a practical solution. There are several situations where rekeying is advisable:

• Change of Ownership:If you’ve recently purchased a new home or taken over a commercial property, it’s essential to rekey the locks to ensure that previous keyholders no longer have access.
• Lost or Stolen Keys: If your keys have been lost or stolen, rekeying allows you to invalidate the old keys and prevent unauthorised access to your property.
• Employee Turnover: In a commercial setting, rekeying is crucial when employees leave or are terminated to maintain security and prevent potential breaches.
• Security Concerns: If you’re concerned about the security of your property for any reason, such as a recent break-in or suspicious activity, rekeying provides peace of mind by ensuring that only authorised individuals have access.
