Good reasons to change your locks

Most people only think about their locks when something goes wrong. These are the situations where we recommend a change straight away:

  • You have just bought or moved into a home and do not know who still holds keys
  • Your keys were lost or stolen, especially with your address or car nearby
  • A tenant, housemate or partner has moved out
  • There has been a break-in or an attempted break-in
  • Tradespeople, cleaners or carers had keys that were never returned
  • A lock is worn, loose, sticky or hard to turn

In a suburb like Concord, where houses change hands regularly and many have been rented out over the years, it is common for a new owner to have no idea how many keys to the front door are floating around.

What a lock change involves

We remove the existing lock, check the door and frame, and fit new hardware that suits the door. On a standard timber or aluminium door this is quick work. If the door has been drilled for an older lock that is no longer made, we choose a replacement that covers the old holes cleanly rather than leaving a patched-up mess.

Matching the door you have

Front doors in older Concord homes often have thick timber with old mortice pockets. Newer townhouses in Breakfast Point and Rhodes tend to have lever sets and deadlocks in metal-framed doors. We carry common sizes of lock bodies and backsets so the new lock fits properly first time.

Keyed alike

If you want one key to open the front door, back door and side gate, ask for the locks to be keyed alike when we quote. It is easier day to day and cuts down the number of keys on your ring.

Nobody else holds a key to your front door.

That is the whole point of a lock change. New locks, new keys, and the old ones are just bits of metal.

Renters, landlords and agents

In New South Wales, tenants and landlords both have rules about changing locks during a tenancy, and generally need to give the other party a copy of any new key unless an exception applies. Check the current rules with NSW Fair Trading, or ask your agent before you book, so the change goes smoothly.

For property managers looking after rentals in Concord, Strathfield and Homebush, we change locks between tenancies and supply the new keys to the agency. Let us know the property manager's name and how they want keys handed over.

Upgrade while you are at it

A lock change is the cheapest time to improve security, because the door is already open and the old lock is already out. Common upgrades we fit in the same visit include:

We tell you which upgrades make a real difference on your door and which ones are not worth the money.

Lock change questions

How long does a lock change take?

A standard residential lock change usually takes well under an hour per door. Older doors that need adjusting, or locks that do not match existing holes, can take longer.

Should I change the locks after buying a house?

We recommend it. You rarely know how many keys to an established home are still in circulation, and changing the main entry locks is a small cost compared with what it protects.

Can you match my new locks to one key?

Yes. Ask for the locks to be keyed alike when you call, so one key opens all of the doors we change.

Do you change locks for landlords and agents?

Yes. We change locks between tenancies across Concord and nearby suburbs and arrange key handover with the property manager.

Can I keep my door handles and just change the lock?

Often, yes. If your handles are in good condition and compatible, we only replace the parts that need replacing.
