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

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.
