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 Thornbury
A good locksmith will quote rekeying clearly: labour, materials and callout itemised, licence details offered without prompting, and a realistic timeframe for Thornbury. If a quote is dramatically below the others, ask what it leaves out. There is usually an answer.
Local knowledge counts
Thornbury sits in the Melbourne North area. Mention the suburb when you enquire and ask the provider to confirm travel, availability and any callout component before you agree to work.
Quick answers
Rekeying vs replacing locks: which do I need?+
Rekeying changes the pins inside your existing lock so old keys stop working; it is cheaper (often $30 to $60 per lock plus callout) and right for most situations like moving house. Replace the lock only if it is worn, damaged, or you want a different style or higher security rating.
Can a locksmith make a car key without the original?+
Usually yes. Automotive locksmiths can cut and program keys and transponders for most makes from the vehicle itself, typically 30 to 60 percent cheaper than a dealership, and they come to you.
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.
