Common House Lockout Situations We Fix
Keys left inside: the door closed behind you with the keys on the kitchen bench. This is the most common call we get and is usually solved in minutes.
Lost or stolen keys: we let you in and then rekey the locks from $29 per lock, so anyone holding your old keys can no longer get in.
Broken key in the lock: we extract the broken piece, open the door and cut a new key on site.
Jammed or faulty lock: old locks wear out and stop turning. We open the door, repair the mechanism or fit a new lock from our van.
Deadlock locked from inside or out: double-cylinder deadlocks and digital locks need special skills. Our locksmiths are trained on all major brands including Lockwood, Gainsborough, Yale, Schlage and Samsung digital locks.
Renters, Landlords and Property Managers
We work with tenants, landlords, real estate agents and strata managers across Melbourne. For tenant lockouts we will ask for proof of residence such as a driver’s licence or a bill showing the address. We can also rekey locks between tenancies and supply restricted keys for apartment buildings.
