Rekey or Change Your Locks? Which Do You Need?
Rekeying changes the pins inside your existing lock so it works with a brand new key. Old keys stop working instantly. It is the cheapest option and ideal when the lock is in good condition, for example after moving house or losing keys.
Changing the lock means replacing the whole lock or cylinder. Choose this when the lock is old, worn, damaged in a break-in, or when you want to upgrade to a higher-security deadlock, a restricted key system or a digital smart lock.
Not sure? Our locksmith will inspect your locks and explain both options honestly, with prices, before any work starts.
Upgrade Your Home Security
Many Melbourne homes still have basic locks that are easy to bypass. We can fit Australian Standard deadlocks, deadlatches, window locks, patio bolts and security screen door locks. For landlords and businesses we install restricted key systems so keys cannot be copied without authorisation.

Lock Change & Rekey FAQ
How much does it cost to change locks in Melbourne?
Lock changes start from $45 plus the cost of the new lock, and rekeying starts from $29 per lock. We quote the full price before work starts.
Is it cheaper to rekey or replace a lock?
Rekeying is usually cheaper because you keep the existing lock and only change the pins and keys. Replacement is better for old, damaged or low-security locks.
How long does a lock change take?
Most lock changes or rekeys take 15 to 30 minutes per door. We carry stock in our vans so it is usually done in one visit.
Should I change locks after moving into a new house?
Yes. You never know how many copies of the old keys exist. Rekeying after moving in is a cheap and quick way to secure your new home.
Can you make all my doors use one key?
Yes. We can rekey or replace your locks so they are keyed alike, meaning one key opens every door.
Can you change locks after a break-in at night?
Yes. We work 24/7 and can secure your home or business the same night, including repairing damaged doors and frames.
