I had my car keys stolen late at night and was stuck with my car locked. Another locksmith tried to help but couldn’t reprogram the key and left halfway through. James came to the rescue — he solved the problem quickly, reprogrammed the key with ease, and had me back on the road in no time. On top of that, his pricing was very fair. I’m extremely grateful for his help and highly recommend his services.

James absolutely saved us. We arrived back to the airport after a long weekend and couldn't find our keys. He answered the phone on a public holiday and drove out to the airport at 11pm at night to reprogram the key and get into our tool boxes. Honestly saved us big time and we couldn't be more appreciative. Thank you so much. Highly recommend!

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.
