    ACE Locksmiths are truly "ace"! The ONLY honest and reasonably priced emergency locksmiths that I have come across. Other emergency locksmiths have scammed me charging $500-$700 to "help me" when I had been locked out. Andrew, in particular, at ACE locksmiths is great to deal with. He's charming, has a great sense of humour and it great at picking locks (lol). I highly recommend this ACE locksmiths.

    Post a rocky encounter with a job which was incomplete, the Boss from ACE Locksmiths sent me 'Craig' . He arrived with no judgement and remained very calm when confronted with my disgruntled manner due to previous work. He was understanding, pleasant and polite on interaction. And was able to clearly navigate and explain his job step by step with no hesitation or agitation. A COMPETENT gentleman who successfully rectified the issues with my doors. Thanks Darren!

    We needed some locks changed at our place in St. Kilda. I called Darren, who assured me it was an easy job and that if I dropped by he would show me how to remove the old barrels for him to then change. I did this (thank you, Phillip, for showing me how easy it was to do) and was also lent a replacement lock to tide me over whilst ACE rekeyed the three barrels. They suggested this approach as being more cost-effective, and as we didnt need a call out, we would save even more. The three barrels were rekeyed, and I popped them back in without any trouble. And the whole process was $150.00, including 8 brand new keys. Great local business with their clients' best interests in mind. Thank you guys for making it affordable and so easy.

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.
