Lock Change — in The Villa
Over the years a villa lends its keys to builders, tenants, agents and staff. Fit new cylinders and only the keys you hold will open the doors. The old ones are replaced at your gate, and new keys are cut while the locksmith is there.
Fresh Cylinders,Fresh Keys, Clean Slate.
A visit from the lock change in Dubai technician leaves the door untouched apart from the new cylinder. One extra key is all you need? Try key duplication in The Villa.
