What's involved

Most lock work falls into three buckets: replacing a lock that's failed (worn cylinder, broken latch), upgrading to higher-security hardware (after a burglary or for insurance), or rekeying so all the locks in the house run on one key.

We work with door and window locks across the major NZ joinery brands — Whitco, Doric, Vantage, Foster — and stock common profiles so most jobs are completed on the first visit.

Why W&D Rescue for locks

Locks that "kind of work" are how break-ins happen. We assess what you've got, tell you whether it actually meets insurance standards, and fit hardware that does. No upselling — if your existing locks are fine, we'll say so.

Common questions

Typically $180–$320 supplied and fitted, depending on the brand and lock type. We quote firm before any work starts.

Yes — we rekey existing cylinders or supply matching new ones so a single key opens every door. Costs a fraction of replacing every lock.

For door lock failures, yes — same day where possible. We're not a 24-hour emergency locksmith but we'll prioritise lockouts during work hours.

Yes — we fit hardware to AS/NZS standards that insurance providers accept. Tell us your insurer if you want certainty before the job.
