Rekeying & Key Alike for Ormond 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 Ormond in particular

Postwar brick-veneer homes with aluminium sliding doors are the common pattern here, and the sliding door is almost always the soft point — a track lock that lifts out is not a lock, and the fix is a proper bolt rather than a bigger cylinder on the front door. Walk-up flat blocks make up a large part of the housing, and their weak point is rarely the flat door — it is the common entry, which is owners-corporation property and often has more keys in circulation than anyone can account for.

Getting to you

Working from the Richmond base, Ormond 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.

Our coverage of Ormond 3204 runs from Grange Road, Jasper Road and Booran Road across to Ormond and E.E. Gunn Reserve.

What it costs

We do not publish prices, because a jammed deadlock on a heritage door in Ormond and a spring latch that has swung shut are not the same job and should not carry the same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 — what customers say

Illustrative examples — real reviews replace these at launch.

Just settled on the house and had no idea how many keys were out there. Rekeyed the lot and keyed the front, back and garage to one key.
Michael A.Northcote
He looked at the cylinders first and told me two were worth rekeying and one was worn out and should be replaced. Straightforward.
Rachel N.Camberwell
Lost a whole keyring including the house keys. Rekeyed the same afternoon so I did not have to spend the night worrying about it.

Rekeying & Key Alike in Ormond — common questions

How quickly can you get to Ormond for rekeying & key alike?

30 minutes is the target. Working from the Richmond base, Ormond 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.
