About rekeying
Rekeying swaps the pins inside your existing locks so every old key stops working, at a fraction of the cost of new hardware. It is the standard move after buying a home, losing a keyring or ending a tenancy. A locksmith can usually key every external door to a single key at the same time, which most households find worth the small extra cost.
Getting quotes in Parliament House
A good locksmith will quote rekeying clearly: labour, materials and callout itemised, licence details offered without prompting, and a realistic timeframe for Parliament House. If a quote is dramatically below the others, ask what it leaves out. There is usually an answer.
Local knowledge counts
A business may list the Woden as a service area without being available for every Parliament House request. Ask about local experience, timing and the full price if the provider responds.
Quick answers
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.
