Change Who Has Access Without Automatically Replacing Hardware
When keys have been lost, shared widely or left with previous occupants, you may want to change access even if the lock still works. Century Locksmiths handles lock rekeying in Toowoomba for suitable household and commercial locks. Rekeying changes the internal key combination so the old key no longer operates the cylinder.
It is a different service from replacing the entire lock body, although not all existing hardware is suitable. We assess the fitting and discuss which keys should work afterwards.
A business with multiple authorised users may also benefit from considering restricted key systems when duplication control is a longer-term priority. For a house, we can discuss whether compatible locks should share one new key.
Call (07) 4638 5120 and explain the access change you need.
Situations Where Rekeying Makes Sense
The question is often about key control rather than a defective mechanism.
Moving into a property
You may not know how many old keys remain with others. A new key combination can address that uncertainty where hardware permits.
Missing keys
Losing a key can raise concerns about unauthorised access. Rekeying may be suitable without changing the entire lock.
Staff transitions
Businesses sometimes need to remove access held by former key holders. An organised key plan reduces confusion during changes.
Consolidating keys
Where locks are compatible, rekeying can allow selected doors to use a common key. The existing cylinders must be assessed first.
