Were the Keys Lost or Left Inside?
This distinction matters.
If the keys are sitting safely indoors, the issue may be nothing more than access.
If they are genuinely missing outside the property, the security question becomes more relevant.
Where Were the Keys Lost?
Consider the circumstances.
Were the keys:
The easier it is to connect the key with the property, the more relevant a security change may become.
Stolen Keys
If the keys were stolen, someone may intentionally have possession of a working key.
That creates a different level of concern.
Once access is restored, the locksmith can assess whether rekeying or replacement is appropriate.
No Spare Key
Mention this when calling.
The locksmith needs to know there is no alternative working copy.
It does not prevent the lockout from being addressed.
Rekeying After Lost Keys
A mechanically sound lock may be suitable for rekeying.
The internal keying is changed so the missing key no longer operates the lock.
The existing hardware remains installed.
This can be a practical option where the lock itself is in good condition.
When Replacement Is Better
Rekeying does not repair a worn or damaged lock.
Replacement may be more appropriate where:
The mechanical condition and key-security concern should be considered together.
Key Turns Up Later
If the lock has been successfully rekeyed, the old key should no longer operate it.
If the hardware has been replaced, the original key will not match the new lock.
That is the point of changing the keying arrangement following a genuine concern.
Found Key Will Not Open the Door
Sometimes the missing key is found and a separate mechanical problem becomes obvious.
The key enters but will not turn.
Or it turns while the door remains locked.
That indicates the issue is not simply a lost-key lockout.
The cylinder, latch or bolt may need inspection.
Broken Spare Key
If a spare eventually arrives but is worn or damaged, avoid forcing it.
A broken spare can leave part of the key inside the cylinder and create another problem.
Stop if the key meets unusual resistance.
Door Will Not Lock After Entry
Once access is restored, make sure the door can secure normally.
If the lock is stiff, inconsistent or unable to engage, repair or replacement may be required.
Emergency Lock Changes Erskineville
Where rekeying is not suitable, urgent replacement can be assessed.
The locksmith can inspect the existing hardware and determine whether complete replacement is necessary.
