Commercial & Shopfront Locksmiths

Cafes, studios, warehouses and retail on Smith and Brunswick.

(03) 7057 3042

A shop that can't lock up can't close, and a fire door that won't latch is a compliance problem. Commercial work is scheduled around your trade, not ours.

We service aluminium shopfronts, glass doors with patch fittings, roller shutters, panic and push-bar exit hardware, and back-of-house doors that cop constant abuse from deliveries.

For premises with staff turnover we set up restricted key systems so keys can't be copied at a hardware counter, plus master keying so a manager carries one key instead of nine.

Landlords and building managers can hold a documented key register with us, so re-keying at the end of a lease is one phone call rather than a forensic hunt for old keys.

Our guarantee

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.

FAQ

Commercial — questions we get asked

Can you work outside trading hours?
Yes. Most retail and hospitality installs are booked early morning or after close so we never trade over the top of your customers.
Do you supply restricted keys?
We do. Restricted keys can only be cut with your written authority, which stops departing staff from quietly keeping a copy.
Is commercial available after hours and on weekends?
Emergency work runs 24 hours, 7 days from Collingwood, including public holidays. Non-urgent commercial work is booked into a daytime window that suits you, so you are not paying an after-hours rate for something that can wait until morning.
Which suburbs do you cover for commercial?
Collingwood plus 14 surrounding suburbs — Fitzroy, Fitzroy North, Abbotsford, Clifton Hill, Richmond, Carlton, Carlton North, Northcote, Thornbury, Brunswick, Brunswick East, East Melbourne, Kew and Hawthorn. Each suburb has its own page with realistic arrival times.
How do you quote commercial?
We work out the lock type and door on the phone, give you a figure before dispatch, and confirm it on arrival before anything is opened, drilled or replaced. If the job turns out to be different from the description, we stop and re-quote.
Do you use Australian Standard hardware?
Yes. We fit lock hardware that meets the relevant Australian Standard and typical insurance wording — usually a keyed deadlock or key-in-lever set with a restricted or patented cylinder where you want key control. We can supply the product details in writing for your insurer.
Are you licensed, insured and guaranteed for commercial?
Fully licensed & insured Victorian locksmiths, trading since 2009, police-checked technicians, public liability cover, and a workmanship guarantee on every job. Call (03) 7057 3042 to talk it through with the locksmith who will do the work.
