Common locksmith jobs
A locksmith can help when you are locked out, need a lock replaced or want existing locks rekeyed. Rekeying changes which keys operate a lock, while replacement involves fitting a different lock. If you need work on locks for a business, you can describe it as a commercial lock job. Emergency locksmith work is also available as a job type on Knut. Explain what has happened and what outcome you need; the right approach can depend on the lock and the work involved. Property managers, real-estate agencies and facilities teams can also use Knut to arrange maintenance across many properties.
How to brief your locksmith job
Describe what needs doing, where the job is, and when you need the work carried out. Say whether it is a lockout, a lock replacement, rekeying, commercial lock work or another locksmith issue. If you know what type of lock is involved, include that detail; photos may also help explain the job. Mention any useful access information or relevant context so tradies can assess what is required. You only need to describe the job once through Knut. It is useful to be clear about the outcome you want, rather than assuming a particular repair or replacement is needed.
Costs and Knut's booking fee
There is no charge to request quotes through Knut. 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. The tradie's quoted price for the work is paid separately. Knut sends your job to suitable local tradies who cover the area and offer the service, then compares the quotes received 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.
Choosing and checking a tradie
Compare the quotes you receive against the work you described and the outcome you need. Before booking, make sure you understand what the tradie's quote covers and ask any questions needed to clarify the proposed work. Some locksmith jobs need a licence or registration depending on the work and the state. Knut applies the relevant check from the job scope. Once you book through Knut, you can message the tradie and follow progress in one place. Knut connects customers with independent local tradies; the tradie carries out the quoted work.
