Lock replacement means changing the existing locks to new ones while rekeying, on the other hand, also means keeping the locks unchanged – minus a few adjustments – and only changing the keys. Locks are replaced when there is an issue with the lock, such as when they are broken, damaged, or malfunctioning. Locks and keys work in pairs and the system becomes compromised if either or both show signs of wear and tear, which is why it is best to have them replaced ASAP in such situations. Locks are rekeyed when key control is lost, such as when you lose them or they get stolen, in which case, there is a high chance of them falling in the wrong hands and jeopardising your home security. Rekeying works best in these situations, rendering the old, lost, and stolen ones completely useless. Both procedures, rekeying in particular, require an in-depth understanding of various locking mechanisms and using the right tools to getting the job done.
Whether you’ve got a key stuck or cut off in the lock, if the mechanism inside feels a bit stiff, or if there are some obvious signs of damage, we can offer door and window lock repair services for all types of locks including mortice, UPVC cylinders, window locks and night latches. Faulty locks that are left for too long often get worse, and can put the security of your home at serious risk. It’s always better to prevent than react. We can help you resolve in a timely manner.
