Some jobs genuinely call for more than a simple rekey or a straightforward installation on their own. A renovation replacing several doors at once. A resale home purchase where new hardware and a full rekey both make sense before move-in. A homeowner finally standardizing years of mismatched locks into one coherent system. Can-Lock Security handles installation and rekeying together as one coordinated visit, which is often exactly what these situations actually call for.
Why This Combined Approach Makes Sense
Booking installation and rekeying as two separate visits usually means paying for two service calls and duplicating some of the assessment work — a technician relearning your specific doors and hardware on a second visit that a first visit already covered. Combining both into one planned project avoids that redundancy, particularly when the scope involves more than a single door.
Keyed Alike Versus Keyed Differently
For a standard single-family home, keyed alike — one key for every door — is usually the simplest and most practical choice. For a household with a secondary suite, or a home office with a records area worth locking separately, keyed differently with a master key can make more sense. We walk through this with you based on how your specific property is actually used.
What the Combined Process Actually Involves
We assess every door and lock genuinely involved, whether that's brand-new hardware going into a renovation, existing locks that need to be incorporated into a coordinated system, or some mix of both. Installation is done properly, including strike plate work, since that's often the actual weak point regardless of how strong the lock itself is. Keying is set up according to whatever structure fits your household. Everything gets tested for smooth, reliable operation before we consider the job finished.
A Common Scenario Worth Naming Directly
Buying a resale home in Aurora, ON often means inheriting decades of unknown key history alongside hardware that may or may not still be in good condition. Rather than treating "install new locks" and "rekey the house" as two separate future to-do items, handling them together right after closing gives you a genuinely clean, documented start.
A Natural Moment to Consider Additional Upgrades
Since a technician is already assessing multiple locks, it's a reasonable time to ask about smart locks, a stronger deadbolt for the main entrance, or standardizing mismatched hardware from past renovations into a single working key. We'll be honest about what's actually worth adding to the project versus what would just increase cost without meaningfully improving your situation.
