Lock Rekeying in Double Bay

Rekeying is the quiet workhorse of locksmithing: the existing lock stays, but its internal configuration changes so that only newly cut keys operate it. It is usually the fastest, most economical way to take back control of a property — and the right first step after keys go walkabout.

What the work involves

  • Cylinder pinning changed to a new key configuration
  • New keys cut and tested in the rekeyed lock
  • Multiple locks keyed alike where the hardware allows
  • Old keys rendered unable to operate the lock

Situations we attend

  • You have moved into a property and cannot know who holds old keys
  • A key has been lost — a wallet, a contractor, a rental week
  • Staff have left a business and key control needs resetting
  • You want several doors to work from one key without replacing them

Local context

Why Double Bay is different

In a suburb of rentals, second homes and short lets, keys change hands constantly. Rekeying at each transition is the simplest control a Double Bay owner can maintain — far cheaper than replacing hardware that is still healthy.
