Common locksmith jobs
A locksmith may be able to help if you’re locked out, need a lock replaced or want existing locks rekeyed. Rekeying changes which keys operate a lock, while replacement involves changing the lock itself. For a business, you can ask about commercial locks. If you need emergency locksmith help, explain the situation and the work required when you make your request. Knut connects you with independent tradies; the work is carried out by the tradie you choose, not by Knut.
How to brief a locksmith
Describe what has happened and what you want the locksmith to do. Include the job location, when you need the work done and whether it’s for a home or a business. For a lockout, say which entry you can’t access; for a replacement or rekey, explain which locks are involved and what outcome you need. Add photos if they help show the lock or door. A clear brief gives suitable tradies information to consider when quoting, and helps Knut compare the quotes it receives for your job.
Costs and Knut’s booking fee
There is no charge to request quotes. Customers pay Knut one booking fee when they book: 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. Knut compares the quotes it receives and recommends the one that best fits the job, on merit. Tradies keep 100% of their quoted price, and Knut does not charge them to quote. Check the quote and booking details before you book.
Choosing and checking a tradie
Review the quotes Knut receives and consider which one fits the work you described. You can message the tradie through Knut and follow progress in one place after booking. Some locksmith jobs need a licence or registration depending on the work and the state. Knut applies the relevant check from the job scope, so the check depends on the particular job. If you manage properties, work at a real-estate agency or look after facilities, Knut can also be used to organise maintenance 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.
