For homeowners who prefer traditional solutions, mechanical locks offer long-lasting reliability without batteries or electronics.
Mechanical locks are often preferred when simplicity, durability, or independence from power and connectivity is essential. They’re ideal for remote areas without electricity, harsh environments, traditional or heritage properties, and locations with limited or static access needs.
Their reliability and ease of use make them especially practical for industrial settings, outdoor use, and situations where long-term performance matters more than advanced features.

Generally, rekeying is a more cost-effective solution than replacing the entire lock hardware.
Rekeying involves changing the internal pins of your existing lock so that old keys no longer work, which is significantly cheaper than buying and installing brand-new locks.
This is an excellent option if your current locks are in good condition, but you want to ensure previous owners or tenants can no longer access your home.
If you are locked out, call Armstrong immediately at 0800 506 111.
