What is Rekeying? And why do I need it for my Balwyn property?
Rekeying updates the locks on your Balwyn property to work with new keys. Our technicians open the locking mechanism, replace the lock bores, and ensure that existing keys no longer work, while issuing new keys instead.
Rekeying offers a more cost effective solution than replacing the entire lock mechanism. The locks stay in place and continue to function the same, but access is limited to those with the new keys.
If you’ve purchased an existing property in Balwyn, rekeying the external locks should be a priority. This ensures there is no unauthorised access with old keys.
It is recommended that you rekey all external locks when you buy a new property or if you suspect someone may have gained unauthorised access to your keys.
How We Can Help You with Rekeying The Locks In Your Balwyn Property
After an initial discussion with the customer to determine their requirements, we’ll often request that they take some photos of their locks and text or email them to us. This allows us to assess the locks in the doors and provide accurate advice based on what is actually installed.
Temple Locksmith and Security then use these images to make an informed assessment of the quality and style of the locks before visiting the customer. We will also check if the locks are suitable for rekeying. This helps us offer accurate pricing and options over the phone.
Once we’ve identified the existing locks at a property and confirmed their suitability for rekeying, we can then recommend the rekeying service.
What’s Involved In Rekeying A Lock?
When we rekey your existing locks, we’ll first check a few details:
- We test to ensure the locks are currently functioning correctly.
- We confirm the type of key profile or the shape of the key that exists for each lock.
- We’ll check for any looseness or wear in the locking components to ensure proper functionality.
Once our trade and industry-qualified technician has examined the locks, they’ll begin by removing the locks from the doors. After disassembling the lock body, we’ll inspect the internal lock cylinder and take it apart.
Once isolated, the lock cylinder will be stripped down and serviced. We replace the internal springs and all small components inside, introducing a new set of keys to the lock cylinder and recoding it to match the new keys. The lock cylinder will then be reassembled, thoroughly cleaned, checked for any worn surfaces or irregularities, lubricated, and tested for proper operation.
The cylinder will be reinstalled into the lock body, and the entire assembly will be reinstalled into the door. We will check for accurate fitment, alignment, and locking integrity.
Another beneficial feature of a lock rekey is that we can offer a ‘Keyed Alike’ service. This means we can recode all of the locks with the same key profile to operate with just one key.
Temple Locksmiths and Security can also rekey your locks to a Restricted Key System. We offer a high-security system called Secure 6, a proudly manufactured Australian product.
Installing or retrofitting Secure 6 into your property upgrades the security level on your doors, adds key access control, and allows us to master key the property to control access even further.
We’re here to help you with all of your Rekeying needs in Balwyn, so don’t hesitate.

Over the past few years there has been a rise in the number of dodgy locksmiths. These people promise fast and cheap locksmith services, but in reality are unqualified to do the job. They end up damaging your property, causing you unnecessary stress and costing you more money in the long term.
Yes, this is no problem for a skilled locksmith. Although you would usually have keys cut from another key, if you have lost your keys or your key is severely worn – it is possible to have a key made from a lock.
This can be achieved by either disassembling the lock or making an impression of the key hole.
No. A Locksmith will be able to rekey the locks to your house and if required, cut copies of the new keys.
After a general discussion about the customers’ requirements a locksmith will often request the customer take some photos of their locks and text or email them so they can then ascertain what locks are in the doors prior to visiting the premises. If locks aren’t broken then they won’t need to be replaced.
Avoid touching the key or lock as this might cause the key to push itself further into the lock.
It’s best to call a locksmith immediately and let them know what has happened – they’ll be able to quickly come out, remove the broken key and cut a new key for you on the spot.
Absolutely, the term locksmiths use for having one key that operates all the locks in your home or workplace is ‘keyed alike’.
The practicality of having one key to open your home or workplace over a large bunch of keys can’t be overstated.
When we key alike your home or workplace, we first check to see if your locks are in good condition and functioning correctly, we’ll then disassemble the keyed cylinders and replace the small internal parts then service and lubricate the entire mechanism.
When we perform a ‘rekey’ of your locks we’ll re-code all of the locks to new keys so everything is keyed alike.
We can even take a customers’ existing sample key which operates one lock and key that alike to the other locks in the premises.
Most people won’t be able to tell if a standard key has been copied as there are no restrictions on a locksmith or hardware shop making a copy of these keys.
A special product that locksmiths offer is a ‘Restricted Key’, this is a key that can only be issued and copied by the locksmith who first sets this product up for their customer. Only an authorised person can request a Restricted Key to be copied which offers a higher level of security and peace of mind to the customer that extra unknown copies are not in circulation.
Each key is individually numbered and issued by the owner of the system. You can also ask your locksmith about a Restricted Master Key System.
A Master Key System is mechanical access control system. Your office, residential or commercial property can be configured so a Grand Master Key can access all the doors and locks on site. Sub keys can be assigned so only specific doors and locks can be opened by designated key holders. This ensures that access granted is given only to specific individuals and can ensure higher security to your premises.
