New-Build Lock Rekey in Aurora & York Region - Possession Day Tips

Written by QA Locksmith Editorial Team · Reviewed against current service procedures ·

Last reviewed: · Editorial policy

Aurora and nearby York pockets see constant move-ins. Builder locks are not evil, but keys are not as controlled as buyers think. Rekeying on possession day is still the cleanest security step when cylinders are healthy - this guide lines up scope with how mobile crews actually work in the region.

Book mobile service by city & job type

These pages match the same quote-before-dispatch rules described here — useful when you want the short version for your exact municipality and service.

At a glance

General guidance only — not a quote or guarantee. Call (647) 874-2137 for a no-obligation estimate and a live ETA for your address and exact lock or key situation.

1. What possession-day rekey should include

Front, garage passage, and any keyed side door are the baseline. If you want one key for all compatible cylinders, say so before we start repinning - master pinning plans are easier before keys are cut.

2. Builder grades versus early upgrades

If you already bought Grade 1 deadbolts or smart locks, book installation instead of forcing a rekey on hardware you plan to rip out tomorrow. We hate wasting your money twice.

3. Same-day reality around Bayview and St. John's corridors

Same-day may exist when a tech is already north. Call early; afternoon mover crunch can push jobs. ETA is always confirmed on the phone, not guessed from a map pin.

4. Pairing with mailbox keys you actually control

If you have a private keyed mailbox at the curb, add it to the visit list. Lobby panels remain a building call.

5. Townhouse rows and shared maintenance access

Some Aurora-area rows still share rear-lane gates or builder maintenance cores. If a neighbour or condo corp still holds a sub-master for common doors, say it before we repin - we only change cylinders you legally control and flag when management needs to issue paperwork.
