Rekeying is the cost-effective alternative to a full lock change. Instead of replacing the entire cylinder, our technicians remove the lock, change the internal pin configuration, and supply you with a new set of keys that work the lock. The old keys no longer function — but the hardware itself is preserved.
Our lock rekey service in Centurion is ideal for new homeowners, landlords managing tenant turnover, businesses dealing with staff changes, and anyone who has lost a key but does not want to pay for new locks. The work is typically completed in under an hour for an average property.

When Rekeying Makes Sense in Centurion
Buying a new home is the most common reason Centurion residents call for a rekey. Estate agents, previous owners, contractors, and former tenants may all hold copies of the existing keys. Rekeying every exterior cylinder gives you exclusive access without the cost of full lock replacement.
Tenant turnover is the next major scenario. Landlords managing properties across Centurion Central, Irene, and Eldoraigne typically rekey between every tenancy to ensure no previous tenant retains working keys. This is far cheaper than installing new locks each time.
Lost keys are the third common cause. If your only key has been lost rather than locked inside the property, rekeying eliminates any risk that the lost key is in the wrong hands. The locks continue working, but only with the new keys we supply.
Rekey vs Lock Change in Centurion
Rekeying is cheaper and faster than a full lock change. It preserves the existing hardware and is the right choice when the locks themselves are in good condition. However, rekeying does not improve the security level of an old or worn lock — if your cylinder is already showing signs of failure, replacing it makes more sense than rekeying it.
We assess every lock during the visit and tell you honestly whether rekeying or replacement is the better option. If a cylinder is too worn to rekey cleanly, we recommend our lock change Centurion service instead. The choice is always yours.

Keyed-Alike Convenience
While rekeying your locks, we can also set multiple cylinders to operate from a single key. This is particularly useful for properties where you currently carry separate keys for the front door, back door, security gate, garage, and outbuilding. A keyed-alike setup means one key opens everything, eliminating the bunch of keys most Centurion homeowners juggle daily.
Keyed-alike configuration costs no more than rekeying each lock to its own key — the work is the same, just coordinated across multiple cylinders.
