When someone still has keys and you need new locks now
If any of these describe what you're dealing with right now, this is the service you need. Call with your situation and location - we'll confirm we can help before sending anyone out.
An Employee Was Fired and Still Has Keys
They didn't return their keys and you can't wait to find out if they made copies. We replace the hardware on every affected door so their keys are completely useless - today.
A Tenant Moved Out and You Don't Trust the Old Locks
You don't know how many key copies they made over the years. New hardware means a completely fresh start for the next tenant - no leftover access from anyone.
Your Current Hardware Is Worn Out and Failing
Locks that are grinding, sticking, or not latching properly are a security risk and a liability. We replace them with commercial-grade hardware built for heavy daily use.
You're Taking Over a New Property and Want a Clean Slate
Previous owner, old tenants, former maintenance staff - who knows who has keys. We change every lock so you start with complete control over your new property.
Describe your situation - we'll confirm the right service and come prepared.

Tested before handoff Why a full lock change beats rekeying
Old Keys Become Completely Useless
Unlike rekeying (which keeps the same hardware), a full lock change means the old lock is gone. There's no technical possibility that an old key works - it's a completely different lock.
Upgrade Your Hardware While You're At It
Since you're replacing locks anyway, it's the perfect time to move from basic hardware to commercial-grade or high-security options. Better locks at no extra labor cost.
All Doors Done in One Visit
We come prepared to handle your entire building in a single trip. No scheduling multiple appointments, no waiting days between doors. Your security is restored in hours, not weeks.
Fresh Start for New Tenants
New tenants feel more secure knowing they have brand-new locks that no previous occupant ever touched. It's a selling point for your property and reduces liability for you.

How quickly can someone get to Essington?

Do you work with insurance claims?
We provide written records of the work and hardware fitted on Essington jobs, which is generally what insurers ask for. Tell us in advance if you need particular detail.
Do you charge extra to travel to Essington?
No. Essington sits inside our coverage area, so there's no distance surcharge on jobs here.

Yes, every one of them, and they carry ID you can check before work begins. We'll also tell you the technician's name when we dispatch.
Is there a Kwikey shop in Essington I can visit?
No — we're a mobile service. For commercial lock change, the technician comes to your location in Essington with the equipment on the van. That's usually faster than a shop visit anyway.

Commercial Lock Change FAQ
These are the questions people ask most before booking this service. If yours isn't here, call us - we'll answer it directly.
What's the difference between a lock change and rekeying?
Rekeying keeps your existing hardware and just changes the internal pins so old keys don't work. A lock change removes the entire lock and installs brand-new hardware. Choose a lock change when the hardware is worn, you want an upgrade, or you want zero connection to the old locks.
Can you do this same-day if it's urgent?
In most cases, yes. If an employee was just fired or a tenant left unexpectedly, we prioritize these calls. We confirm hardware availability and can often be there within hours.
How many doors can you handle in one visit?
There's no practical limit. We regularly handle 10-30 door lock changes in a single visit for property managers. We come prepared with hardware and tools for the full job.
Should I change locks or rekey when a tenant moves out?
If the hardware is in good condition and you just need to invalidate old keys, rekeying is cheaper. If the hardware is worn, outdated, or you want a fresh start with better locks, a full change is worth the investment.
Can I upgrade to restricted keyways during the lock change?
Yes, and it's the ideal time to do it. Since we're already replacing hardware, adding restricted keyways costs only the difference in hardware price - no extra labor. It prevents future unauthorized key copies.
Need locks changed fast?
Tell us how many doors need new hardware and what triggered the change (tenant left, employee fired, security concern). We'll confirm availability and handle all the doors in one visit.
