William, yours for finding the parts needed, and Xander, yours for the professionalism with which you approached and completed the work. BTW, I thank you too for your suggesting a stonemason (Jez) so as to be able to attach the handle to my kitchen window. You're a clever man. <vps-r>

    Lock installer came quickly, did an excellent job and cleaned up after he finished. Wasn’t cheap but I knew all that before he arrived through excellent communication from the company. Would recommend, there were no surprises.

    William was prompt, polite and explained the charges and what he was going to do. He did a great job at short notice and the call out fee was very reasonable. I would not hesitate to use his services again or to recommend him to friends/family. Thanks again.

    Tks William & Xander for a great response, top communication, transparent pricing & pro locksmithing. Xander was knowledgeable, friendly, diligent & had a can-do attitude. Fixed our gate pronto & returned swiftly when another lock jammed. Highly recommended.

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.
