    Nick was an absolute life saver! Came out last night at 11:00pm, so quickly, to help get us into our rental that we just moved into. He is very knowledgeable and not only got the door open but told us why the lock was broken. He went above and beyond for someone that we dragged out of bed. 10/10 would definitely recommend!

    Locked my keys inside the house at 8:30pm. Called Nick and he was at my house within 20 minutes. Gained entry swiftly & providing me a fair price. Very nice gentleman too. 5/5

    Nick did change all locks and door handles in our home and advised us as well on some incorrect locks we got as well which lock to buy for the front entrance. He did a great job and was very kind with his time. All worked out very well and he is amazing with his email comms, which these days is extremely hard to come by. Can definitely recommend him for any of your needs.

    Nick was friendly & very efficient with both quoting & doing the job. Excellent communication throughout the process (ex Cyclone Alfred got in the way!) and cost was more than reasonable for what we wanted done. Overall, excellent workmanship & very good experience with a local locksmith. Would definitely 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.
