Rekeying & Key Alike for Carlton North homes and businesses
Rekeying changes the pins inside your existing cylinder so the old keys stop working and a new key takes over. It keeps hardware you already own and it is the right answer whenever the question is "who else has a key?" rather than "is this lock any good?".
Why Carlton North in particular
The period housing here was built with mortice locks, and a century of trades has left a mix of original hardware, 1970s additions and whatever was cheapest in between. Working out what is actually fitted comes before deciding what to fit.

What it costs
We do not publish prices, because a jammed deadlock on a heritage door in Carlton North and a spring latch that has swung shut are not the same job and should not carry the same number. Quotes are free, given before we start, and there is no obligation.

Rekeying & Key Alike in Carlton North — common questions
How quickly can you get to Carlton North for rekeying & key alike?
30 minutes is the target. Working from the Richmond base, Carlton North is a straightforward run at most hours. It is a compact suburb, and the whole of it is within a few minutes of the same main roads. We give you a realistic arrival window on the phone rather than a number that sounds good.
Rekey or replace — which do I need?
Rekey when the hardware is sound and the problem is key history. Replace when the cylinder is worn or seized, when the door does not meet the security standard you need, or when there is no deadlock at all. We will tell you which one you are looking at before we start.
Can every lock be rekeyed?
Most can. Some budget cylinders are not economically rekeyable and some high-security systems need their own components. We check on site and say so plainly.
I just bought the house. Is rekeying really necessary?
You have no way of knowing how many keys the previous owners cut over the years, or who still has one — trades, cleaners, family, an old tenant. Rekeying resets that to zero. It is the single most common job we do for new owners.
