Emergency lockouts, lost keys, rekeying and repairs across Tullamarine and the surrounding streets. Call and you speak to the person who will be doing the job.
Night, weekend and public holiday. The phone rings through to a real person, not a message bank.
We pick, bypass and manipulate before we ever reach for a drill. If a lock genuinely cannot open cleanly, you hear it before we start.
You get the number on the phone and again at the door. It does not move once the job is underway.
Six things make up nearly all of our work. Anything else, ask — if it is not something we do properly we will say so.
Front door shut behind you, key snapped in the lock, or a deadlock that has finally seized. We open the door without wrecking it wherever the lock allows.
Keys on the seat, boot closed on the only set, or a child locked inside. We carry proper automotive tools rather than anything that marks the paint or the seal.
A lost key is a security problem, not just an access one. We cut replacements on the spot and rekey the cylinder so the missing key stops working.
New house, ex-tenant, tradesman who never gave the key back. Rekeying keeps the hardware you have and retires every old key in circulation.
Doors, jambs, strikers and screen frames made secure the same night, photographed before anything is touched so your insurer has what it needs.
Deadlocks, window locks, sash jammers and restricted keys. We tell you what is worth doing and what is a waste of your money.
Tullamarine mixes post-war homes with a large industrial and freight pocket near the airport. Roller shutter locks, warehouse padbolts and commercial restricted keying are a steady part of the work alongside the usual house calls.
We are based on 103-105 Mickleham Rd and most of our work sits within a short drive of Melbourne Airport and the Western Ring Road.
Tullamarine first, then the suburbs either side of it: Gladstone Park, Westmeadows, Airport West, Gowanbrae, Keilor Park, Broadmeadows and Greenvale.
Most Tullamarine callouts we reach inside the half hour. If we are already on a job we tell you the real time rather than a hopeful one, so you can decide whether to wait or call someone else.
That is the thing we are most careful about. Picks and bypass tools first. A lock that genuinely cannot be opened without damage is rare, and you will hear about it before we begin, not after.
There is an after-hours rate and you are told it on the phone before we leave. No surprise loading once we are standing at your door.
Usually, and it is normally the cheaper answer. If the hardware is sound we keep it and change what the key turns.
