Locksmith: Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a locksmith cost in Australia?

Standard locksmith services cost $80–$250 per job. Emergency lockouts attract higher rates of $150–$400 depending on time of day and location. Lock replacements cost $80–$200 per lock including the new hardware. Rekeying costs $20–$50 per lock. Always get a quote before authorising work.

What should I do if I'm locked out of my house?

Call a licenced locksmith — do not attempt to force entry as this often causes expensive damage. Reputable locksmiths can open most residential locks non-destructively. Keep your locksmith's number saved in your phone. If locked out after hours, expect to pay a higher after-hours call-out rate.

Do locksmiths need a licence in Australia?

Yes — locksmiths must be licensed in all states except Queensland. In VIC, a Security Technician licence is required. In NSW, a Security Licence (Locksmith category) is needed. Always ask to see a locksmith's licence and ID before allowing them access to your property.

What is rekeying and when should I do it?

Rekeying changes the internal pins of an existing lock so old keys no longer work, while the lock hardware remains the same. It's cheaper than replacing locks. Rekey when you move into a new property, after a break-up or dismissed employee, if keys are lost, or if you've given out many copies over the years.

Are smart locks and electronic locks worth it?

Smart locks offer convenience (phone access, temporary codes for guests, access logs) but cost more upfront ($300–$800+) and require battery maintenance. They're excellent for rental properties, Airbnbs, and people who frequently lose keys. Most quality smart locks are as secure as traditional deadbolts.

What is a deadbolt and do I need one?

A deadbolt is a lock that requires a key or turn knob to retract — unlike spring bolts which can be 'loided' with a card. Insurance companies recommend deadbolts on all exterior doors. Grade 1 deadbolts (commercial grade) offer the highest security for residential use. Most Australian home insurance policies require deadbolts on entry doors.
