Lock Replacement & Lock Change Auckland

New locks supplied, fitted and tested on homes, rentals and businesses across Auckland City, the North Shore, West Auckland, East Auckland and South Auckland.

Upgrading Your Security

Maybe you've just moved in, maybe the old lock has finally given up, or maybe you want something stronger on the front door. Whatever the reason, a new lock is only as good as the way it's fitted.

Our lock installation service covers the whole job: we help you choose a lock that suits the door, fit it properly, line it up with the frame and test it with every key. Homes, rentals, shops and offices all get the same careful work.

When to Change Your House Locks

Most people ask about a lock change at one of a few moments: you've just bought or moved into a house, a tenant has moved out, keys have gone missing, or the lock on the front door has started to stick, slip or jam. Each of those has a slightly different answer, so it's worth a quick chat before you buy anything.

We always look at a repair first. But if a lock is cracked, badly rusted or worn out inside, a fix won't last, and replacing it is the better long-term choice. Our lock repair page covers the faults we can usually fix instead.

If the lock works well and you just want the old keys to stop working, you probably don't need a new lock at all. A lock rekey keeps your existing hardware and gives you new keys for less.

Precision Installation

A like-for-like swap is often simple. An upgrade may mean adjusting the door or frame so the new lock sits and latches properly, and a fresh install where no lock was fitted before means preparing the door, fitting the lock and strike, aligning everything and testing it.

We regularly work on brands such as Lockwood, Yale, Kwikset, Legge and Ikonic, and we can special-order locks we don't carry. Already bought your own lock? We're happy to fit it, as long as it suits the door. We can also cut extra keys at the same visit, so everyone in the house has their own.

Locks We Supply and Fit

These are the mechanisms we fit most often, on everything from older timber villas to modern aluminium joinery:

Residential mortice locks for front and back doors.
Commercial mortice locks and turnbolts for shopfronts, offices and staff doors.
Trilock multi-point locks that bolt the door at several points.
Rim locks and deadlocks, common on older Auckland homes.
Screen door mortice locks and euro profile cylinders.
Sliding door and ranch slider locks, including worn mortice lock bodies replaced to match.

Prefer a PIN code to a key? Our smart lock installation service fits keypad and app-controlled locks instead.

Hardware Types We Install

We supply and install hardware to suit the door and how it's used.

Commercial Grade Hardware

Strong locks, latches and lever sets built for busy doors that open and close all day.

Residential Locks & Latches

Deadbolts, knobs, lever handles and thumb turns that let you unlock from inside without a key, which matters if you need to get out fast.

Digital & Smart Keypads

Keypad and touchscreen locks that open with a PIN code, fitted and set up to suit your household or team.

Deadbolt Installation, Landlords and Offices

A deadbolt is one of the simplest upgrades for a front door. Installing one properly means drilling a clean hole for the cylinder, cutting the bolt into the door edge, setting a solid strike plate into the frame and lining it all up so the bolt throws fully without catching. Choose one with a thumb turn on the inside, so you can get out quickly without hunting for a key.

Landlords and property managers often ask us to change locks between tenancies, and offices and shops call us after staff changes. If several doors need doing, we can key them alike so one key opens them all. Often a rekey is enough; a full lock change makes sense when the hardware is worn or you want an upgrade.

Pricing and Our 90-Day Warranty

There's a flat NZ$20 call-out fee, and the job is quoted on site before we start. The price depends on the lock you choose, how much door or frame work is needed and whether it's a special order. Work outside normal hours costs a bit more, and we'll tell you first.

Every installation comes with a 90-day workmanship warranty at no extra cost, with longer 12-month and 24-month options available. Locked out right now? Our lockout service gets you in first, and our Auckland lock services page compares every option.

Lock Installation & Change FAQs

Common questions about replacing hardware.

Do you provide the replacement hardware?

Yes. We supply and fit residential and commercial mortice locks, turnbolts, Trilock multi-point locks, rim locks, screen door locks and euro cylinders. If you've already bought a lock, we're happy to fit that too, as long as it suits your door.

Can you replace a ranch slider or sliding door lock?

Yes. Worn sliding door locks are a common job. We match the replacement to the size and style of your door, fit it, and adjust the keeper so the door locks without having to be lifted or shoved.

Can you fit a lock where there wasn't one before?

Yes. A fresh installation includes preparing the door, fitting the lock and strike, aligning everything and testing that it works smoothly with every key.

Do I need to change my house locks after moving in?

It's a good idea, because you can't know how many copies of the old keys are out there. If the existing locks are in good condition, rekeying them is usually cheaper than a full door lock replacement and has the same effect: the old keys stop working. If the locks are worn or you want better security, a lock change makes more sense.

Is there a warranty on new locks?

Every installation comes with a 90-day workmanship warranty at no extra cost. Longer 12-month and 24-month warranty options are also available if you'd like extra cover.

Can I replace my locks with smart hardware?

Yes. Many doors can take a keypad or smart lock instead of a standard mechanical lock. We'll check your door and talk you through options that suit it.
