Guides and cost advice
All guidesFrequently asked questions
How much does a locksmith cost for a lockout?+
A standard business-hours home lockout usually costs $120 to $220. After hours expect $180 to $350. Car lockouts are similar. Ask for the full price on the phone before they head out, including the callout, labour and any parts.
Rekeying vs replacing locks: which do I need?+
Rekeying changes the pins inside your existing lock so old keys stop working; it is cheaper (often $30 to $60 per lock plus callout) and right for most situations like moving house. Replace the lock only if it is worn, damaged, or you want a different style or higher security rating.
Can a locksmith make a car key without the original?+
Usually yes. Automotive locksmiths can cut and program keys and transponders for most makes from the vehicle itself, typically 30 to 60 percent cheaper than a dealership, and they come to you.
Should I rekey after moving into a new home?+
Yes, immediately. You have no idea how many copies of the old keys exist: previous owners, tenants, tradies, agents. Rekeying every external door on day one is cheap insurance.
Is this service really free?+
Yes. You pay nothing to use this site. We may be paid a referral or advertising fee by locksmiths and advertisers who appear here, which is how we keep it free.
Are smart locks safe for Australian homes?+
Good ones are. Look for locks with physical key backup, local (not cloud-only) unlocking, and compliance with Australian door hardware standards. Have them installed by a locksmith rather than DIY so the door alignment and strike are done right.
How fast can a locksmith get to me?+
In metro areas, 20 to 60 minutes is normal for emergency lockouts. Give your exact suburb and the type of lock or car when you call so they arrive with the right gear.
