Lockouts and urgent work
Lost or stolen house keys
Losing your keys is one problem. Not knowing who has them is another. Once you are back inside, we can talk through how to make sure the missing keys no longer work.
If the keys were stolen with something showing your address, such as a wallet or a car, it is worth acting on the same day.

After a lockout
If your keys were lost or stolen rather than locked inside, rekeying makes the missing keys stop working without replacing the locks.

Honest pricing
Lockouts are priced from a set starting figure, and after-hours work costs more. Tell us where you are and what has happened, and we will explain the expected cost before a locksmith comes out.

Questions
After-hours assistance is subject to availability. Call 0403 232 113 to check whether a locksmith is available.
Usually not. Rekeying changes which keys work in your existing locks, so the stolen keys stop working. If a lock is worn or damaged, we will tell you and quote a replacement instead.
Daytime and after-hours lockouts have different starting prices, shown on this page. We confirm the expected cost for your job before a locksmith comes out.
