Question 14

Should I rekey or replace my locks after moving into a new flat?

Rekeying is usually the better choice — it's cheaper and just as secure. It makes all previous tenant keys useless. Replacement is only needed if the existing lock is damaged or you want to upgrade the security grade.

Not necessarily. A stiff lock is often caused by dry pins or a misaligned door. We can clean, lubricate, and adjust in most cases without replacement.

Most standard building keys are cut in 5–10 minutes at our Al Satwa shop. Bring the original key and your Emirates ID.

Question 19

Can you cut a spare key from a very worn original?

Accepted Answer

Often yes, though a heavily worn key may produce a copy that doesn't work reliably. We examine your key first and advise before cutting.

Question 20

Do you copy high-security or restricted keys?

Accepted Answer

We copy many high-security profiles. Some restricted keyways require manufacturer authorisation. Call +971 56 167 7909 with your key brand and model to confirm.
