Question 1

What does a locksmith do?

Accepted Answer

A locksmith works on locks, keys and access hardware: opening doors when keys fail, replacing or installing locking hardware, rekeying cylinders, and improving the way doors and frames work together.

Question 2

What should I do if I am locked out?

Accepted Answer

Stay calm and call 02 5700 2319 during our operating hours (8:00am – 10:00pm). Describe the door and the situation; we will explain what assistance we can provide and what to have ready, such as proof of occupancy.

Question 3

Can a locksmith replace an existing lock?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We remove worn or failed hardware and fit appropriate replacements matched to the door’s material, cut-outs and use.

Question 4

Can locks be rekeyed?

Accepted Answer

Most standard cylinders can be rekeyed — the lock stays, its internal configuration changes, and previously issued keys stop working. Damaged or proprietary mechanisms may need replacement instead.

Question 5

When should I replace a lock?

Accepted Answer

When the mechanism itself is worn, damaged or unreliable — rekeying cannot fix broken parts. Doors that have dropped or frames that have shifted may also need attention alongside the lock.

Question 6

Do you provide residential locksmith services?

Accepted Answer

Yes — lockouts, lock changes, installations, rekeying and residential security work for homes, apartments and townhouses across Double Bay and surrounding areas.

Question 7

Do you provide commercial locksmith services?

Yes — for retail premises, offices, landlords, property managers and building managers. We handle lock service, changeover rekeying and practical access hardware work.

Question 8

Do you provide automotive locksmith services?

Accepted Answer

We attend vehicle lockout and access situations. Some modern vehicle key work requires specialist equipment — we assess honestly and tell you when the right next step is a specialist.
