When We Recommend Rekey or Replace Instead

In certain situations, rekeying or replacing a lock beats simply cutting more keys. It’s not just about security; it’s about. Here’s when we suggest going beyond duplication:

  • Lost Keys: After a Smithfield late shift or Hatton Garden event, strangers might’ve your keys. Rekey or replace, don’t just duplicate.
  • Unreturned Keys: If a tenant or housekeeper leaves without returning keys, a full rekey guarantees only your household has access.
  • Outdated Restricted-Key Profile: If a registered card is lost or compromised, refresh both the card and cylinder, especially for vault-grade systems.
  • Vulnerable Cylinders: An old non-anti-snap cylinder on a Barbican Estate door should be upgraded to a 3-Star Diamond before making more keys.
  • Honesty Over Sales: We prioritize honest recommendations, even if it means losing an immediate sale, safeguarding long-term security for our clients.

Your safety is our top priority.
