LOCKSMITH GOLD COAST

On average, a Gold Coast locksmith can cost at least $110 for a standard call out. However, factors like location, time of the call out and overall size of the job will all affect the total cost. For example, an after hours call out will likely be more costly. 

For a single lock, it generally takes 10-15 minutes. The process is usually quicker when done by an experienced locksmith.

Yes, we offer trusted and expert locksmith services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our emergency mobile locksmiths are equipped to handle a full range of services and are highly responsive. 

Our locksmiths travel well-equipped to every job. This means that in the majority of cases they will have all the pieces needed to repair a lock. In the rare event that the locksmith doesn’t have the part you need, they’ll be able to suggest an alternative or make your premises safe until the new part can be fitted.

Being locked out of your home is never a pleasant experience, but without the correct ID, many people are concerned that the locksmith won’t let them in. In most circumstances, a locksmith will expect to see photo ID with proof of your address before entering your property. If you don’t have any ID on you (and it’s surprising how many people pop outside to put something in a bin or similar and the door slams shut behind them), the locksmith will expect to see proof of ID as soon as the property is opened. If the locksmith has any concerns about the legitimacy of your request, they will refuse to open the door until the police are in attendance.

In the event that we replace the lock, we usually provide customers with two or three keys. More can easily be cut if required.

Looking after your locks can significantly reduce the chances of unexpected failures. Regularly clean and lubricate your locks to keep them working smoothly. If you notice your key is getting difficult to turn, don’t force it—this could be a sign your lock needs attention. Preventative maintenance, including having your locks checked by a locksmith every few years, can also help catch issues before they turn into emergencies.

Securing your property effectively requires a combination of the right technology and practices. We recommend starting with a security assessment conducted by our professionals, who can identify potential vulnerabilities and suggest improvements. This might include upgrading locks, installing a comprehensive alarm system or integrating smart security solutions. Regular maintenance and updates to your security systems are also crucial to address any wear and tear or to incorporate new technologies for enhanced protection.

If your locks are showing signs of wear, like difficulty locking or unlocking, it might be time for an upgrade. Also, if there’s been a recent increase in crime in your area or you’ve experienced a break-in, upgrading your locks can provide added security and peace of mind. Moving into a new home is another good time to consider changing your locks to ensure you’re the only one with access. Our locksmiths will give you personalised advice on the best options for your situation.
