About rekeying
Rekeying swaps the pins inside your existing locks so every old key stops working, at a fraction of the cost of new hardware. It is the standard move after buying a home, losing a keyring or ending a tenancy. A locksmith can usually key every external door to a single key at the same time, which most households find worth the small extra cost.
Getting quotes in Elwick
When you enquire about rekeying, describe the job specifically: what is happening, how long it has been going on, and anything you have already tried. That detail helps a provider assess the request and may improve quote accuracy if they respond.
Local knowledge counts
If the timing for rekeying is flexible, include that in the Elwick request and ask whether it changes availability or price. The provider remains responsible for confirming both.
Quick answers
Should I rekey after moving into a new home?+
Yes, immediately. You have no idea how many copies of the old keys exist: previous owners, tenants, tradies, agents. Rekeying every external door on day one is cheap insurance.
Is this service really free?+
Yes. You pay nothing to use this site. We may be paid a referral or advertising fee by locksmiths and advertisers who appear here, which is how we keep it free.
Are smart locks safe for Australian homes?+
Good ones are. Look for locks with physical key backup, local (not cloud-only) unlocking, and compliance with Australian door hardware standards. Have them installed by a locksmith rather than DIY so the door alignment and strike are done right.
