Lock Rekey / Change on Lease Turnover

Rekeyed a leased unit at tenant turnover so previous keys stop working.

Lock Rekey / Change on Lease Turnover

Project Overview

Every lease turnover is a security reset. Old tenants, their staff, and anyone they gave a key to should no longer have access. Nour Al Amal Lock & Key handles fast lock rekeys and changes for landlords, agents, and businesses across Dubai between tenancies.

We rekey or replace the locks on a unit so the previous keys stop working immediately, key multiple doors alike for easy management, and can set up restricted keys that can’t be copied at a corner shop. Turnarounds are quick to keep your unit rentable.

What this service covers:

  • Rekey or change on tenant move-out
  • Old keys deactivated instantly
  • Multiple units keyed alike for managers
  • Restricted, copy-protected key options
  • Fast turnaround between tenancies

Hand every new tenant a clean slate. Call or WhatsApp Nour Al Amal for lease-turnover rekeys in Dubai.

What We Did

  • Audited the unit’s doors and locks
  • Rekeyed each lock to a new key
  • Verified old keys no longer worked
  • Issued labelled keys to the manager

The Situation

A Business Bay leased unit was changing tenants and the landlord needed the space secured before handover. The outgoing tenant had held keys for the full term with no record of how many copies had been cut, so simply passing the same keys on was not acceptable.

How We Approached It

Rekeying rather than replacing was the sensible route: the existing cylinders were in good condition and the goal was new keys, not new hardware. We removed and inspected each cylinder to confirm that before proceeding.

We re-pinned every lock in the unit to a fresh key combination, which instantly retires every key the previous tenant held. We then cut a clean, documented set for the incoming tenant and the landlord's own records.

The Result

The unit was handed over genuinely secure rather than nominally secure, with all previous keys dead. The landlord kept costs down by reusing sound hardware, and now has a repeatable process to run at every future turnover.

Why turnover rekeys should be routine

Between tenants is the one moment when securing a unit costs almost nothing and gets forgotten most often. Rekeying at handover takes under an hour, reuses hardware that is already sound, and gives the incoming tenant a genuine guarantee that no previous key opens their door. Landlords who make it standard practice avoid awkward disputes later.
