Don very kindly went out of his way to create some keys for my trailer. Answered my query within hours and the job was done the next day for a very reasonable price. Thanks Don!

I locked myself out of my place at 12am. I called a few places beforehand and this place was the only one to answer!! Took honestly about 5 minutes to get me back into my apartment! An absolute life saver! THANK YOU! My only complaint is the price- I think $460 is steep.

After I locked my keys inside my house, the lock doctor was able to come to my place at a time that suited me, on that same day. The whole job took about 5 minutes. I am really grateful for this service, it was a really stressful day and being able to resolve this quickly was a huge relief. I was even still able to make all my appointments on the day, so I was very happy with the quick and efficient service.

Great service, came out short notice Saturday morning to unlock my car. Very reasonable price. I can’t ask for anything more, thank you!

Frequently asked questions

How much do locksmiths typically charge?

Costs vary depending on the job — a simple key cut or rekey is usually much less than emergency entry or full hardware replacement. This page shows live pricing for local providers to help you compare options. Many locksmiths charge a call-out fee plus an hourly labour rate and materials, and after-hours or emergency work generally attracts higher rates.

Do locksmiths charge call-out fees?

Call-out fees are common and typically cover travel and the initial assessment. This fee is usually separate from labour and materials and may apply even for quick or small jobs. It's worth confirming any call-out or minimum charge when getting quotes.

Do locksmiths need a licence in Australia?

Yes. Locksmithing is a licensed occupation across Australia, and in NSW licences are issued by the NSW Police Force — Security Licensing & Enforcement Directorate (SLED). You should expect a provider to display a valid state security licence number and to hold industry credentials such as MLAA, LGA or ASIAL membership, a Certificate III in Locksmithing, an ABN with GST registration and appropriate public liability insurance.
