Rekeying & Key Alike for Sunshine 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 Sunshine in particular

The housing is mostly postwar brick veneer, which takes standard hardware without difficulty. The recurring gap is the rear sliding door and the garage side door, which get less attention than the entry and are less overlooked from the street. Former industrial buildings converted to offices, studios and apartments carry hardware from a different catalogue — steel frames, roller shutters, and entries sized for a forklift rather than a front-door cylinder.

Getting to you

Working from the Richmond base, Sunshine is a straightforward run at most hours. It sits in the middle of our coverage, and the run is a short one at most hours. We give you a realistic arrival window on the phone rather than a number that sounds good.

Our coverage of Sunshine 3020 runs from Anderson Road, Market Road and Sunshine Road across to Sunshine Marketplace and Sunshine Plaza.

What the job covers

  • Cylinder rekeying on existing hardware
  • Key alike across front, back and garage

What it costs

We do not publish prices, because a jammed deadlock on a heritage door in Sunshine and a spring latch that has swung shut are not the same job and should not carry the same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

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

30 minutes is the target. Working from the Richmond base, Sunshine is a straightforward run at most hours. It sits in the middle of our coverage, and the run is a short one at most hours. 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.
