Bur Dubai is one of Dubai's original neighbourhoods, and its housing reflects that history. Most buildings date from the 1990s to 2015, with older residential blocks and serviced apartments outnumbering the newer towers. Properties run from budget to mid-range, and much of the maintenance work here involves bringing older systems up to date. Key cutting is a small job, but in this district it is often the first sign that a door lock needs attention.

Most of the homes we deal with are apartments. In older blocks the door locks may have been in place for decades, and the keys in use have often been copied from copies. Each generation of copy loses a little accuracy, so a key that once turned easily begins to stick, catch or need a wiggle before the bolt moves. Serviced apartments add a different pattern, with several keys passing between tenants, staff and guests and no clear record of who still holds one. A fresh duplicate cut from a good original solves the first problem. Rekeying the cylinder is the better answer to the second.

We start by looking at the original key and the lock it belongs to. After cutting, we test the new key in the door itself, because a copy that runs smoothly on the bench can still bind in a worn cylinder. If it does, we recut it or tell you plainly that the cylinder is the real fault. The visit takes about 30 minutes. Materials, such as a restricted blank or a replacement cylinder, are quoted separately before any work begins.

Access is usually simple, but older buildings in a dense district often share entrances and corridors. Give us the building name and floor when you book, and we will agree a time that suits you. If your building management or owners association asks for notice before tradespeople come in, arrange that beforehand. Tenants should also confirm with their landlord before any lock is changed rather than just copied.
