Locksmith jobs you can request

A locksmith job might involve getting help with a lockout, replacing a lock or rekeying one. Knut also accepts requests for commercial locks and emergency locksmith work. The right request depends on what is happening: for example, whether you cannot get through a locked door, want a lock replaced, or need a commercial lock looked at. Include the location and any useful photos when you describe the job. If there is 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 the lock issue and say what outcome you need. Include where the job is, when you want it done, and whether it is for a home, business or property you manage. For a lockout, explain which door or entry is affected; for replacement or rekeying, describe what you want changed. Photos can help show the lock or door, if useful. Avoid sending information you do not need to share. Knut sends your job details to suitable local tradies who cover the area and offer the service, then compares the quotes it receives.

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 details before you decide to book.

Choosing and checking a tradie

Compare the quotes you receive against the job you described, including the proposed work and quoted price. If anything is unclear, message the tradie through Knut before booking. 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. 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 to request maintenance across many properties.
