Lock Rekeying in Townsville
Rekeying changes what key opens a lock without replacing the lock itself. Every old key stops working from that moment. It's the cheapest way to take back control of who can get in.
When rekeying is the right call
You've just moved in
You have no idea how many keys are out there, or who has them — previous owners, their kids, tradies, a neighbour who watered the plants.
A key has gone missing
A lost key is an unknown key. If it had anything on it identifying the address, treat it as urgent.
A tenant has moved out
Standard turnover work for landlords and agents between leases.
A relationship or share house has ended
No explanation needed, and none asked for beyond the usual proof you're entitled to the property.
You want one key for everything
Several different locks keyed alike, so one key runs the front door, back door and garage.
Rekey or replace?
Rekeying keeps your existing hardware and just changes the internals, so it's cheaper and there's nothing to match up or repaint around. Replacement makes sense when the lock is worn out, the hardware is failing, or you're upgrading to something more secure anyway.
I'll tell you which one your locks actually need when I look at them, rather than defaulting to the more expensive answer.
Vehicles too
Cars can be rekeyed on the same principle. Bought a used car and don't know how many keys came with it? Lost one of a set? A vehicle rekey locks the old keys out of the car for good.
Before you call
Will my existing keys still work after a rekey?
No — that's the point. Every key cut to the old configuration stops working, and you get a new set.
Can you key several doors to the one key?
Yes, provided the locks are compatible. Keyed-alike setups are common for front door, back door and garage.
Do you work with landlords and agents?
Yes. Lock changes and key management for rentals, strata and body corporates are regular work.

Call or text with the details — vehicle make, model and rego, or the address if it's a property — and I'll tell you what's involved and what it costs.
