Frequently asked questions
Do I need a spare key or an all-keys-lost service?
Say whether any key starts the vehicle. See our spare key and lost key guide for the details to prepare.
What should I record before rekeying a new home?
List exterior openings, locks, available keys and any operating faults. Use the door and key inventory before requesting a quote.
What should a business prepare for a master key consultation?
Record doors, staff roles, authorization and missing-key procedures. Start with the business access planning guide.
Does an article confirm a price or service appointment?
No. Confirm availability, coverage, compatibility and the complete estimate directly with the provider. Read all questions and answers.
Can rekeying fix a door that does not close properly?
Rekeying changes key control; a dragging door or unreliable latch needs a separate assessment. Describe both issues.
Can one key operate every existing lock?
That depends on the actual hardware and the intended access plan. Have the provider check compatibility before promising a single-key arrangement.
What should be included in a quote?
Ask which openings or vehicle parts are covered, whether travel and applicable charges are included, how many keys are supplied, and what testing or separate repairs are needed.
Who can authorize changes?
The property owner or an authorized representative must approve the work. Rental and business premises may require additional authorization; confirm the provider’s requirements privately.
Should I publish my key schedule or ownership documents?
No. Keep detailed access records, key photographs and identity documents private. Ask the provider for an appropriate way to supply information required for the service.
