One coordinated build, one hardware generation
Duncraig’s name was approved in 1969 and the bulk of the suburb went up in the mid-1970s, with the infrastructure going in almost at the same time. That simultaneity is the point: the housing, the schools and the reserves are all the same vintage, which means whole streets have the same hardware reaching the same age.
A typical house has six to eight locks, and a security screen added later is often on a different key. A rekey can usually put the house and the screen on one key. With 2.8 people per household, it’s worth cutting enough keys for everyone.
Incomes here are well above the state median and most houses are owner-occupied. For a busy household, a keypad lock with a code for each person is an alternative to cutting more keys.

Straight answers
How much to rekey a whole house in Duncraig?
A typical house here has six to eight locks. The first lock covers the callout and labour, each additional one is less, and we agree the total before starting.
Can you key my security screen door to the same key as the front door?
Usually. It depends on whether the screen cylinder can be changed to your front door profile, and we check that on site.
How long would it take you to get to Duncraig?
Call and we’ll give you a straight answer on when we can be there, rather than a guess.
I have lost the only key to my house. What now?
We can make a new one to the lock rather than copying an existing key. If a barrel has to be drilled we tell you first and fit a new one at no charge, keyed to your existing key.
