Frequently Asked Questions
Here are common questions people ask when changing locks between tenants and managing property security during transitions.
Should locks be changed between tenants?
Yes, it’s strongly recommended. Previous tenants, tradespeople or others may still have copies of keys. Changing or rekeying locks ensures the new tenant has full control over access and improves overall property security.
What is rekeying and how is it different from replacing locks?
Rekeying involves adjusting the internal components of a lock so old keys no longer work, while keeping the existing hardware. Replacing locks means installing completely new units. Rekeying is often more cost-effective if the lock is still in good condition.
How quickly can locks be changed between tenants?
In most cases, lock changes or rekeying can be completed quickly, often within a single visit. This helps minimise vacancy time and ensures the property is secure before new tenants move in.
Smooth Turnovers, Less Stress
Tenant transitions can be hectic, so lock changes need to be handled efficiently. We rekey or replace locks depending on the situation, making sure everything is secure without unnecessary cost. The result is a property that’s ready for occupancy, with access clearly managed and no lingering concerns about previous key holders.
