Our mobile locksmith units are patrolling the Richmond area (VIC 3121) and can arrive at your location in an average of 30 minutes. We provide specialized Rekeying Services solutions tailored to the residential and commercial layout of Richmond.
Due to the local environment in Richmond, locks are subjected to extreme temperature swings from hot dry winds to wet winters that stress older door locks and hinges. This makes doors prone to shifting. For optimal security, we advise fire-rated locks for apartment complexes, heavy-duty security deadbolts, and window safety restrictors. Our technicians carry full kits of compatible replacement hardware, lock barrels, and cylinder pins.
Rekeying is the most efficient way to control who has access to your property. Instead of purchasing entirely new lock housings, handles, and locksets—which is expensive—our locksmiths extract the cylinder, replace the internal brass pins with different heights, and cut new matching keys. This instantly renders any old keys completely useless. Rekeying is highly recommended for landlords between tenancies, businesses with staff turnover, or homeowners who have recently lost keys or moved into a new property.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it cheaper to rekey locks or replace them entirely?
Rekeying is substantially cheaper. You are only paying for the locksmith's service and new key cuts, rather than the price of new physical deadbolt and door handle hardware.
Can any lock be rekeyed?
Almost all high-quality pin tumbler locks (including deadbolts, mortice cylinders, screen locks, and padlocks) can be rekeyed. Cheap imported locksets sometimes have sealed cylinders that cannot be serviced, which we can replace.
What is 'keying alike' during a rekey?
During the rekeying process, we can adjust the internal pins of all your locks to match the exact same key code. This means you can open your front deadlock, back door, and laundry door using a single key.
