Repair or replace?
Many locks just need cleaning, lubricating or a strike plate adjustment. If a lock is worn out, damaged, low quality or no longer secure, replacing it is usually better value. We'll explain the difference and give you a price for both where it makes sense.
Signs your lock needs attention
Keys that are hard to turn, a latch that doesn't catch, a deadbolt that won't fully extend, visible damage, or a door you have to lift or push to lock β all of these mean it's time to call a locksmith before you get locked out or left unable to lock up.

Lock Repair & Replacement FAQs
How long does a lock repair take?
Most lock repairs are quick once we're on site. Replacing hardware on complex doors takes longer, and we'll give you a time estimate when we quote.
Can you repair my lock the same day?
In most cases, yes. Call us in the morning and we can often repair or replace the lock that day across inner Sydney.
What brands do you use?
We use quality, well-supported lock brands that are widely available in Australia, so parts and servicing are easy in future.
