Common locksmith jobs

A locksmith may be able to help if you’re locked out, need a lock replaced or want an existing lock rekeyed. Rekeying changes which keys operate a lock, while replacement involves changing the lock itself. Knut also lists commercial lock work and emergency locksmith jobs. If you’re unsure which type of service fits, explain what has happened and what you want changed when you request quotes. For immediate danger to life or property, such as a fire, flooding or an electrical hazard, call 000 or the relevant emergency service first.

How to brief your locksmith job

Describe what needs doing, where the job is, and when you need the work carried out. For a lockout, say that you’re locked out; for a replacement or rekey, explain what you want done to the existing lock. If the job is for a business or a managed property, mention that in your description. Photos can help explain the job if they’re useful. Share any details that could help a tradie understand the scope, then review the quotes Knut receives before deciding which one suits your needs.
