Common locksmith jobs
A locksmith can help when you’re locked out, replace a lock or rekey one so it works with a different key. Commercial locks are another job type available through Knut. If you’re not sure whether you need a replacement or rekeying, explain what’s happening and ask the tradie to clarify the options in their quote. Emergency locksmith work is also listed as a service. For immediate danger to life or property, such as a gas leak, fire, electrical hazard or flooding, call 000 or the relevant emergency service first.
How to brief your locksmith job
Describe what needs doing, where the property is and when you need the work considered. Include the Inner South postcode and explain whether the job is at a home or a business, if relevant. For a lockout, say that you’re locked out; for replacement or rekeying, describe what you want changed and any issue with the existing lock. Photos can be useful where they help show the lock or the problem. Knut sends your description to suitable local tradies who cover the area and offer that service, so clear details help them assess the request.
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 fee is paid at booking; it is separate from the tradie’s quote. Tradies keep 100% of their quoted price, and Knut does not charge them to quote. Compare the quotes you receive and check what work each one covers before booking.
Choosing and checking a tradie
Knut compares the quotes it receives and recommends the one that best fits the job, on merit. Before booking, review the proposed work and ask the tradie about anything you don’t understand, such as whether the quote is for rekeying or replacing a lock. Some jobs in this trade need a licence or registration depending on the work and the state. Knut applies the relevant check from the job scope. Property managers, real-estate agencies and facilities teams can also use Knut for maintenance across many properties. After booking, you can message the tradie and follow progress in one place.
