The four house calls we get most

Walk-in with the lock or key where you can. The van covers the rest.

Locked out

Locked out of the house. Call the shop, and once you're in we sort the lock or key that caused it.

Lockout help

Rekeying

Moved in, lost a key, or too many old keys floating around. Rekeying the locks you own beats replacing them.

Rekey or replace

Lock replacement

Worn, broken or just underwhelming locks replaced, including after a break-in.

Replacement options

Smart and digital locks

Keypads and smart locks supplied and fitted, with honest advice on which ones actually suit your door.

Advice you can take to another shop

The reviews keep saying the same thing: honest calls, even when it costs us the job.

  • If a rekey beats a replacement, that's what we'll quote
  • If the shop visit saves you a call-out, we'll suggest it
  • If your existing hardware is fine, nobody will upsell you
  • Window locks, garage locks and the small stuff handled too

House lock playing up, or keys you don't trust?

Call and describe it. Small jobs get sorted at the counter, bigger ones get the van.

Common questions

Should I rekey or replace my locks after moving house?

Rekey, in most cases. If the locks are decent, rekeying makes every old key useless for a fraction of a full replacement. Replace when the hardware is worn or you want an upgrade anyway.

How much does a residential locksmith cost in Brisbane?

Depends on the job and whether the van comes to you. Walking into the Brendale shop with a lock or key is the cheapest path. For scale, from a public review: a $15 key cut that was quoted $40 elsewhere. You get a straight quote before work starts.

Someone has a key I don't trust. What's the quickest fix?

Rekeying. The lock stays, the pins change, and every existing key stops working. Bring the lock to the shop or have the van out, and cut only the new keys you actually want in circulation.

Do you install locks I've bought myself?

Yes, if they're right for the door. If a lock you've bought won't do the job, we'll tell you before it goes in, not after.
