Lock Rekeying & Replacement in Brisbane
When you need to stop an old key from working — after moving in, losing a key, ending a tenancy or a relationship — you don't always need brand-new locks. Rekeying changes the internal pins so your existing hardware accepts a new key and rejects every old one, usually for a fraction of the cost of replacement. UrgentKey handles both: rekeying where it makes sense, and full replacement where hardware is worn, damaged or simply not up to standard. We'll tell you honestly which one you actually need.
- Rekeying is far cheaper than replacing every lock
- One visit to make every old key stop working
- Keyed-alike option so you carry a single key
- Honest rekey-or-replace advice, quoted free up front

How it works
What to expect when you call
Decide rekey vs replace
We check whether your existing locks are sound. If they are, rekeying is faster and cheaper. If they're worn or below standard, we recommend replacement — and say so plainly.
Match the hardware
For replacements we fit quality, Australian-standard-rated locks that suit your doors, in a finish that matches the rest of your home or premises.
Rekey or fit
We rekey on-site in minutes per lock, or install new hardware correctly aligned so it locks smoothly and reliably.
Hand over the new keys
You get a clean set of new keys, every old key rendered useless, and a guarantee on the work. Free quote before we start.
