Common locksmith jobs
Locksmiths can help when you are locked out, need a lock replaced or want locks rekeyed. Rekeying changes which keys operate a lock, while replacing a lock involves fitting a different lock. Commercial lock work is another option if the job is for a business or other property. If you need an emergency locksmith, explain what has happened and how urgent the situation is when you describe the job. 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 a locksmith
Give a clear description of what needs doing, where the property is in Melbourne East and when you need the work done. Say whether you are locked out, want a lock replaced or need rekeying, and mention any relevant details about the lock or door that you know. For commercial work, explain what the property or business needs. Photos can be useful if they help show the lock or the problem. Include any timing concerns in your request so tradies can assess whether the job suits their service and coverage.
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. Review the quote and booking fee before you book.
Choosing and checking a tradie
Compare the quotes you receive against the work you described, and check that each one covers the job you need. Ask the tradie to clarify anything that is unclear before booking; you can message them through Knut and follow progress in one place. 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 to arrange maintenance across many properties.
