What our emergency lockouts service covers
- House & apartment lockouts — Front doors, deadlocks, apartment entry doors and strata building lockouts.
- Office & shop lockouts — Get your business open again with minimal downtime and no damage to shopfronts.
- Broken or jammed locks — Locks that won't turn, latch, or lock at all — repaired or replaced on the spot.
- Lost or stolen keys — We get you in and change the lock so your old keys no longer work.
- Locked-in situations — Doors that won't open from the inside, including stuck deadlocks.
- Securing doors after damage — Making a damaged door or lock safe so your property isn't left exposed overnight.
Non-destructive entry first
Most lockouts can be opened without damaging your door or lock. Our locksmiths use professional entry techniques designed for the common residential and commercial locks found across Sydney. If a lock genuinely can't be opened that way — some high-security locks are built to resist it — we explain your options and the cost before doing anything else.
What to do while you wait
Stay somewhere safe and well lit, keep your phone charged if you can, and have proof of address ready (a licence, bill or lease on your phone is fine). As licensed security professionals we confirm you're entitled to access a property before we open it — that protects you as much as anyone.

Searching "locksmith near me" at night often brings up national call centres that pass your job to whoever is free, sometimes from the other side of Sydney. We're a local Glebe locksmith, so the person you speak to is part of the team that turns up.

Emergency Lockouts FAQs
Are you really available 24/7?
Yes. Our emergency lockout service runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and public holidays. Call 02 7251 9492 any time.
How much does an emergency lockout cost?
It depends on the time, location and type of lock. We always confirm the price over the phone or on arrival before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Will you damage my door?
We use non-destructive entry wherever possible. If drilling a lock is the only option, we'll explain why and get your approval first, then fit a new lock on the spot.
Do I need to prove I live there?
Yes. We'll ask for reasonable proof that you're entitled to access the property, such as ID with the address, a lease or a utility bill.
