Common locksmith jobs
A locksmith can help if you are locked out, need a lock replaced or want existing locks rekeyed. Rekeying may be worth asking about when you want the locks to work with a changed set of keys. For a business, you can request help with commercial locks. Emergency locksmith work is also listed as a service. Explain the issue and what outcome you need so tradies can assess the job and quote for it. If there is immediate danger to life or property, such as a fire, gas leak, electrical hazard or flooding, call 000 or the relevant emergency service first.
How to brief a locksmith
Describe the problem clearly: say whether you are locked out, need a lock changed or want locks rekeyed, and identify the property as residential or commercial if relevant. Include the job location and when you need the work done. Photos can help show the lock or surrounding door, where useful. If you are managing a property, explain who needs access and any relevant details about the site. You only need to describe the job once through Knut; it can then be sent to suitable local tradies who cover the area and offer that service.
Costs and Knut’s booking fee
There is no charge to request quotes. Once you choose a tradie and book through Knut, you pay Knut one booking fee: 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. The tradie keeps 100% of their quoted price, and Knut does not charge them to quote. Compare the quotes you receive and check what each covers before deciding; the work price depends on the job and the quote, so ask the tradie about anything that is unclear.
Choosing and checking a tradie
Compare the quotes Knut receives and consider which one best fits the work you described. Check that the quote addresses the lock issue and the work you expect, and ask the tradie to clarify anything you do not understand before booking. Some locksmith jobs 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. After booking, you can message the tradie and follow progress in one place.
Knut's booking fee
