Can a locksmith rekey my Kohimarama home?
Yes. Rekeying changes the internal combination of a lock so that it works with a new key. This prevents old keys from operating the lock without necessarily replacing all the existing hardware.
When the existing lock is sound, rekeying is usually the more economical option. We can inspect your locks and explain whether rekeying or replacement is the better choice for each door.
Consider rekeying when
- You have recently moved into a home
- A key has been lost or stolen
- Previous occupants may still have copies
- You want several locks to use one key
- You are unsure how many copies exist
Should I change the locks when moving into a new home?
It is a good idea to review your locks when you move into a new home. Even if you have been given several keys, you may not know who else still has a copy. We can inspect the locks on:
- Front door
- Back door
- Garage entry
- Sliding doors
- Windows
- Gates
- Letterbox
- External storage
Depending on their condition, the locks may be rekeyed, serviced or replaced.
Do you install digital locks in Kohimarama?
Yes. Eastern Bays Mobile Locksmiths can supply and install suitable digital and smart locks for residential doors.
Not every digital lock is suitable for every door, so we check the door before recommending a model. Professional installation helps ensure the lock fits correctly and operates reliably.
We also explain how to use your new lock, how to create access codes and, where applicable, how to connect it to its mobile app.
What we check first
- Door material and construction
- Existing lock hardware
- Backset measurement
- The current locking mechanism
- Exposure to coastal weather
Why is my door lock becoming difficult to use?
A stiff lock is not always caused by the lock itself. Coastal weather, door movement, worn keys and misaligned strike plates can all make a lock difficult to operate. Common warning signs include:
- The key is becoming difficult to turn
- You need to lift or pull the door to lock it
- The latch does not line up correctly
- The key sticks inside the cylinder
- The lock feels loose
- The door only locks after several attempts
Having the problem checked early may help prevent a broken key, a failed lock or an unexpected home lockout.
Locked out of your Kohimarama home?
If you are locked out, contact us for assistance. Where possible we use professional non-destructive entry methods to open the door without causing unnecessary damage to the lock or surrounding hardware.
Once access has been restored, we can inspect the lock and recommend servicing, repair, rekeying or replacement if required.
Can you repair sliding door and window locks?
Yes. Windows, ranch sliders and other sliding doors are important entry points that should not be overlooked when reviewing your home security. We inspect and repair a range of residential security hardware:
- Ranch slider cylinders
- Sliding door locks
- Window locks
- Window security stays
- Gate and garage door locks
- Letterbox locks
If a lock cannot be repaired reliably, we can recommend a suitable replacement.
