    Jim has been informative and attentive and quick to respond in emails. The item is perfect for australia glass doors and aluminium doors. I bought the Yale Unity Slim Smart Lock, which fits and replaces my existing normal entry door like a glove!! I only had to do a little adjust on the strike plate, where I have to make the cut out wider and longer to fit the door lock’s bolt throw.

    I manage a property on the Gold Coast and I am always looking for reliable trades to assist me for the property owners. I have finally found a locksmith that I am happy to recommend. They were really clear with the appointment times, ringing before the appointment and conducting quality work. Brad was a delight to have in the house, very courteous, on time and completed the job with no fuss. I will be using Terry Locksmiths again and i recommend you do the same.

    I recently had two new car keys cut and programmed by Jackson at Terry’s Locksmiths and couldn’t be happier with the service. From start to finish, the team was professional, friendly, and efficient. They clearly explained the process, completed the cutting and programming quickly, and ensured both keys were working perfectly before I left. It was great to deal with people who know exactly what they’re doing and take pride in their work. The pricing was fair, the turnaround time was excellent, and the overall experience was smooth and hassle-free. I highly recommend Terry’s Locksmiths to anyone needing car key cutting or programming services.

    A great company to deal with. Ease of booking an appointment with Archie. Reliable, good communication and on time. Nigel, the locksmith, is a great bloke with a wealth of experience, knowledge and patience. His thought thru and economical solution for a complex problem was much appreciated. Very reasonably priced. I would not hesitate to recommend Jim's professional team at Terry's Locksmiths, Southport. Thank you, Peter

    I was very happy with my experience with Terry's Locksmiths. We had used them before but were not disappointed this time. I rang to book a visit and they asked for photos and the reason for the work. I sent them on the weekend and received a response. The day they were due to turn up and within the time frame discussed, I received a text about 20 mins before they arrived to say they were coming and who would be attending to the job. They turned up on time and as a result of looking at the photos and the description of the job I wanted, the locksmith bought a product with him to see if I would like it. It was exactly what I wanted. Daemon did the job efficiently and pleasantly and he was gone within about 40 mins. He was able to issue an invoice on his mobile, I paid by card on his mobile and he then processed a receipt to be sent to my email address. It was all so efficient in such a busy time. I was impressed. I would recommend Terry's Locksmiths for any job you have in locks, security systems and safes to anyone on the Gold Coast. Jacqui 05/01/26.

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.
