    Jon is an absolute legend, really top bloke. Locked myself out and he was there within minutes, professional and lovely bloke. There are a lot of sharks in the business and have fallen for a few. However, this compeny is ethical, on time and reasonably priced. Also, I looked through their reviews, the one stars of obvious fakes, if it wasn't for the fake reviews he would be 5 starts on 4.9.

    Ken was thorough, on time and skilled at his job. Ken was able to rekey all doors and window locks, even when our windows did not have existing keys. Highly recommend!

    They were friendly and solved the problem quickly. Previously, I had a bad experience with another company that turned out to be a scam, so I was more careful this time. I chose this one because of the great reviews and the trust they’ve built over a long time.

    Our car and house keys got stolen, and we were frantically looking for a reliable 24x7 locksmith service to re-key our door to prevent a potential home invasion. We contacted Jon based on all the positive Google reviews and are so glad we did. During this stressful late night episode, he was responsive, professional, friendly, and efficient, arriving in about 30 mins and getting the job done in about 5. Thanks so much Jon for helping us feel safe :)

    Huge thanks to Jon at Locksmith and Barrel. He's a true professional. We hada really difficult door that two other locksmiths couldn't open, but Jon got it unlocked instantly. He was awesome and so friendly. He came out late at night and charged a fair price. If you want it done right, call him. 👍 I wouldn't look anywhere else. God bless you, Jon

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.
