Changing-locks FAQs
Choose replacement when the hardware, not just the key, needs attention.
A photo of the existing lock, door edge and strike can be helpful when you call. It gives us early context about the likely replacement path.
When should I change locks instead of rekeying?
Replacement is often the better option when hardware is worn, damaged, unreliable, outdated or no longer suits the door or desired security. Rekeying can be suitable when the existing locks are compatible and in good condition.
Can a locksmith replace locks on the same visit?
Often, depending on the door, lock type and suitable hardware availability. We can assess the property and explain the likely replacement options before work proceeds.
Do you install deadlocks and security upgrades?
Yes. Suitable deadlocks and door-security upgrades can be assessed for the door, frame and intended use, then installed with attention to alignment and operation.
Can locks be replaced after an attempted break-in?
Yes. We can assess damaged or compromised hardware, secure the access point where possible and recommend appropriate replacement or repair work.
Can new locks be keyed alike?
Often, when compatible hardware is selected. Keyed alike means selected locks operate with the same key, which can simplify access across multiple doors.
