Common locksmith jobs
Locksmiths on Knut can quote for lockouts, lock replacement and rekeying. If you have lost a key or can no longer use a lock, explain what has happened so the tradie can assess the job. Rekeying may suit a different need from replacing a lock; describe what you want to achieve and ask the tradie which option they have quoted for. Commercial locks are also listed as a job type, including for businesses and property managers arranging maintenance across multiple properties. For an emergency locksmith request, explain the issue and any immediate safety concern when you submit the job.
How to brief a locksmith
Give a clear description of the lock or access problem, the property location and when you need the work done. If you know the type of lock or what has changed, include that detail, but do not guess if you are unsure. Photos can be useful where they help show the lock or surrounding area. Mention whether the job is for a home, business or managed property, and list any related locks that may need attention. Knut sends your description to suitable local tradies who cover the area and offer that service, so useful details can help them understand the request.
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. At booking, you pay Knut's booking fee and the tradie's quoted price for the work. The tradie keeps 100% of their quoted price, and Knut does not charge them to quote. Review what each quote covers and ask the tradie about anything unclear before you book. Knut compares the quotes it receives and recommends the one that best fits the job, on merit.
Choosing and checking a tradie
Compare the quotes against the work you described, checking that the proposed job matches what you need rather than comparing a single figure alone. Ask the tradie to clarify the scope if it is unclear, such as whether the quote covers rekeying or lock replacement. 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. Property managers, real-estate agencies and facilities teams can also use Knut for 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.
