How it works

From the first photo to a tidy job site.

  1. Step 1

    Diagnose the failure

    We work out whether it's lubrication, alignment, a worn cylinder, or a failed mechanism. That decides whether to repair or replace.

  2. Step 2

    Repair where possible

    Lubrication, adjustment, cylinder rekey, or mechanism overhaul. Cheaper than replacement where the unit is sound.

  3. Step 3

    Replace where past it

    Where the lock is worn out or no longer secure, we fit a current equivalent. Brand-matched or upgraded to a higher security spec.

  4. Step 4

    Test and tag

    Every lock we touch gets tested, keys cut and labelled, and any spare keys handed over before we leave.

FAQ

Locks & Security questions

Common questions we get about locks & security across Christchurch and Canterbury.

My key won't turn. Can you fix it without replacing the whole lock?
Often yes, especially if it's a lubrication or alignment issue. If the cylinder is worn or the bolt mechanism has failed inside, replacement is usually cleaner than chasing a repair.
Can you rekey rather than replace?
For most lock types, yes. Saves the cost of new hardware and you get fresh keys with the same lock. Useful when keys have been lost or after a tenant change.
Do you supply higher-security locks?
Yes. We can upgrade to NZ-rated security locks compatible with your existing aluminium joinery without changing the joinery itself.
Do you handle commercial shopfronts and offices?
Yes. Multi-point locks on commercial doors and shopfronts are a regular job for us, including key-alike systems across multiple openings.
Do you offer keyed window stays for insurance compliance?
Yes. Keyed sash fasteners on awning and casement windows for compliance with insurance or rental property requirements.
