    Lost my master car key (with remote) but only had a duplicate left — classic me 😅 I’d always wanted to get a remote key done, and a friend recommended this locksmith. I was only in Caboolture for a few days and reached out to him on my very last day before driving to Tassie. Even though he had a super busy schedule, he kindly squeezed me in so I wouldn’t start my road trip key-less. Absolute legend. He’s friendly, professional, and works FAST. He promised to sort everything within 20 minutes… so I secretly started a timer — and yep, he nailed it. Price was very reasonable too. Smooth service, no stress, happy drive to Tassie unlocked. Highly recommend!

    Thank you for your wonderful service, Ash! So grateful you were able to cut keys for the mailbox at our rental. I appreciate your friendly, professional and approachable manner too. We'll be happily recommending you to our contacts in the area. Thanks again, you're a legend! 😊 Edit: Ash was able to replace the broken spare key for my car. I've been trying to find someone who could do this for years! He really is amazing at his craft. Thank you so so much! 😊

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.
Does Preferred Locksmiths have a verified ABN?
Yes. Preferred Locksmiths has completed ABN verification on SureQuote.
