Common locksmith jobs
Knut can help you request quotes for lockouts, lock replacements, rekeying, commercial locks and emergency locksmith work. If you are locked out, explain what you need access to and any relevant details about the lock. For a replacement or rekey, say which locks are involved and what outcome you want. Commercial jobs may involve locks at a business or across a property. If the situation involves immediate danger to life or property, such as a fire, electrical hazard, flooding or gas leak, call 000 or the relevant emergency service first.
How to brief your locksmith job
Describe what needs doing, where the work is, and when you need it done. Include the type of job—such as a lockout, rekey or replacement—and any useful details about the lock or property. Photos can help explain the job if they are useful and safe to take. For work involving more than one lock or property, list each part so tradies can understand the full scope. A clear description gives suitable local tradies information to prepare a quote, and helps you compare the quotes you receive.
Costs and Knut's booking fee
There is no charge to request quotes. When you book through Knut, you pay Knut one booking fee: 5% on smaller jobs, tapering to 2.5% on large jobs, and never more than $150.00. You also pay the tradie's quoted price for the work; the job price is set out in the quote, rather than here. Tradies keep 100% of their quoted price, and Knut does not charge them to quote. Knut compares the quotes it receives and recommends the one that best fits the job, on merit.
Choosing and checking a tradie
Review the quotes you receive against the work you described, and consider which one best fits the job. You can message the tradie and follow progress in one place after booking through Knut. Some locksmith jobs need a licence or registration depending on the work and the state; Knut applies the relevant check from the job scope. If you manage properties, work for a real-estate agency or look after facilities, you can also use Knut to request maintenance quotes across many properties.
Knut's booking fee
Requesting quotes is free. When you book, Knut adds one booking fee, shown before you pay, and never more than $150. The provider keeps 100% of their quote.
