Home Locks & Rekeying in Lake Formosa

A photographic guide to the work, the equipment and the questions.

Home Locks & Rekeying

New home, departed flatmate, contractor with a copy — the locks are fine, but you no longer know who holds keys to them.

The entry has a latch and you want to discuss adding or replacing a deadbolt compatible with the door and frame.

The lock is worn past saving, the finish is corroded through, or the hardware was never good enough for a street entry in the first place.

The original case in a Victorian or Edwardian entry has gone stiff, lost its spring, or swallowed its last working key decades ago.

You want keyless entry, codes for guests or cleaners, and a log of who came in — without the lock becoming the least reliable thing you own.

The street gate or shared building entry drags, slams without latching, or runs on a lock every past tenant still has a key to.

The mailbox key is lost, the tenant changed, or the little lock has been pried once too often.
