    These guys have been really honest and reliable. They were able to repare my the remote key of my 2004 car for a very reasonable price against some very expensive quotes for a key replacement. I can't be happier with the service and the solution they provided. Highly recommended

    OH MY DAYS — ABSOLUTE 5 STARS FOR MY BOY JON ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I honestly cannot hype Northside Car Keys enough. After three different locksmiths came out and completely failed to unlock my car, I was feeling defeated, stressed, and running out of options. Then this absolute legend showed up and within no time at all, he had my car open and me back on the road. The turnaround time was insanely fast, the service was next-level, and the vibe was genuinely so friendly and reassuring from the moment he arrived. You can immediately tell you’re dealing with someone who actually knows what they’re doing and takes real pride in their work, not just ticking a box and moving on to the next job. What really stood out was how calm, patient, and professional he was throughout the whole process, especially after I’d already had such a frustrating experience with others. He took the time to explain what he was doing, made sure everything was working perfectly before leaving, and didn’t make me feel rushed or brushed off at any point. If you ever find yourself locked out, stressed, or in a bind, do yourself a favour and call Northside Car Keys first. Absolute lifesaver, absolute professional, and 100% deserves every single one of these five stars.

    Ignition barrel seized up on my old Rodeo and NCK got me back on the road very quickly. Toby is a first class tradesman and Lauren in the office is a great communicator. Highly recommended outfit !

    Fantastic service! These guys were able to fix my key in under 30 minutes for considerably cheaper than the Kia dealership quoted me. Would highly recommend!

    Needed a spare key for my car and decided on Northside after getting quotes. Found them very efficient and cost effective in well set up premises. 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.
