Rekeying & Key Alike for Southbank 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 Southbank in particular
Fob access, intercom entry and a mechanical override are the three things that decide what can actually be changed on a tower door, and the answer usually lives with the building manager.

What it costs
We do not publish prices, because a jammed deadlock on a heritage door in Southbank and a spring latch that has swung shut are not the same job and should not carry the same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 Southbank — common questions
How quickly can you get to Southbank for rekeying & key alike?
30 minutes is the target. Our vans work out of Richmond, so Southbank is a straightforward run at most hours. It is one of the larger suburbs we cover, so there is usually a van working the area rather than heading to it. 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.
