    More than happy with the service I got today from Lightning Locksmiths. Patrick was polite prompt and really got me out of a pickle today. There were some issues with my ignition lock which he resolved quickly and professionally. I’m more than happy to recommend this business if you ever need a locksmith. The price quoted was fair and reasonable and way better than some of the pirates who quoted me exorbitant prices, one of which was almost double what I paid with Lightning. Thanks again Lightning Locksmiths, especially Patrick for being a thorough professional.πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

    I highly recommend Lightning Locksmiths! They were friendly, honest, and provided transparent pricing for my car’s ignition lock replacement from the very first call. The lady I spoke with over the phone was straight to the point and clearly knew her stuff, and Patrick was equally great to deal with on-site. I originally contacted another company that refused to give me a price rangeβ€”a classic β€˜bait and switch’ tactic. When I finally pressed them for a figure, they were five times more expensive than Lightning Locksmiths! If you want fair pricing and zero stress, these are the guys to call. Be careful of other locksmiths who won't give you a clear estimate upfront.

    Best service in town. Company was polite and helpful booking in my service requirement, matched me with the best person for the job and were professional at every step of the process. The on-site technician was amazing, even calling ahead of the allotted time to let me know of a slight delay. Happy to recommend this company.

Frequently asked questions

How much do locksmiths typically charge?
Costs vary depending on the job β€” 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 β€” 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.

Yes. Lightning Locksmiths has completed ABN verification on SureQuote.
