The bit most locksmiths won't put in writing
Locksmithing is a permission trade — you are handing a stranger the keys to your home or business. These are the six commitments we make on every job, day or night.
- 12 month workmanship guarantee
- If a lock we fitted or repaired misbehaves within twelve months of normal use, we come back and make it right at no labour cost.
- Licensed, insured, police-checked
- Fully licensed & insured Victorian locksmiths. Every technician who attends your door is police-checked and carries identification.
- Non-destructive entry first
- Picking, bypass and decoding before anything else. Drilling is a last resort, quoted and explained before we start.
- Price confirmed before we start
- You get a figure on the phone and it is confirmed at the door. If the job differs from the description, we stop and re-quote.
- Insurance-ready paperwork
- Itemised invoices and hardware details in writing, worded for insurers and landlords after a break-in or lost-key claim.
- Australian Standard hardware
- We fit hardware that meets the relevant Australian Standard and typical insurance wording, not big-box hardware that fails in a year.
