Locksmith and safes

Locked out, or a lock that no longer does its job? Andy comes to your door on the Northern Beaches and the lower North Shore, as he has since 1996.

One call, one clear price

The call-out applies on weekdays from 9 to 5 inside the service area. Parts are extra. Much of the everyday trouble with locks is dealt with in that first visit:

  • Simple lockouts at home or at the office
  • Doors that will not lock
  • Keys made for window locks and letterboxes
  • Fresh batteries for a beeping alarm, where they can be reached

One key for the whole house

You do not need a different key for every lock. Andy rekeys the locks you already have, so that one key opens them all.

As a master key system it goes one step further: the gardener or the pool service gets a key that opens the side gate and nothing else.

When rekeying is worth it

Rekeying replaces the pins inside the cylinder. The old keys stop working, the lock stays. It is the usual step when you move in, when keys go missing or when a tenant moves out.

Handles, doors and gates

Andy brings the hardware, fits it and repairs what is already on the door. A photo by SMS is often enough for him to tell you what will fit.

    Handles with a code

    The Lockwood Code Handle has the code buttons in the lever itself. It suits an office, a store room or a study, takes up to nine user codes and replaces an ordinary indoor handle.

  • Entrance lever set with cylinder on a long plateEntrance lever set with cylinder on a long plate

    Lever handles in place of old knobs

    Andy supplies a lever set or fits the one you have chosen, and checks first that it suits the cut-outs already in your door. A worn-out Tri-Lock makes way for a Lockwood Velocity entrance set.

  • Bifold doors

    Dropping, grinding or no longer locking are the early signs. Rollers, hinges and locks for bifold doors are sold to the trade only. Andy orders them and services the doors before the damage gets expensive.

  • Bolts for shops

    Locking bolts such as the ADI Bloklok for single and double shopfront doors, warehouses and garages. Supplied, fitted and serviced, in satin chrome, chrome and further finishes to order.

  • Sliding and garage doors

    Sliding door locks repaired or replaced. Garage and roller door locks serviced. Deadlocks, deadlatches and deadbolts supplied and fitted.

  • Lockable gate latchLockable gate latch

    Pool gate latches

    A pool gate has to close and latch by itself. Andy fits lockable magnetic latches and self-closing hinges from D&D Technologies, and repairs gates that no longer shut properly.

  • Two ABUS padlocks, steel and brassTwo ABUS padlocks, steel and brass

    Padlocks

    ABUS padlocks, also in marine grade and keyed alike, so one key fits them all. A padlock without its key can be cut off.

Two Yale safes with digital locksTwo Yale safes with digital locks

Safes, delivered and installed

Tell Andy what has to go inside and where the safe should stand. He suggests the size and anchors it on site.

Yale fire safes
For passports and papers. Rated for one hour of fire protection for documents, with a digital keypad and one-time access codes. Three sizes, from 19.5 to 36.9 litres.
Yale certified safes
Built against forced entry: reinforced walls and door, motorised steel bolts and a key lock as override.
Ardel Interceptor
Fire and burglary resistant safes from 50 kg to 250 kg, with multi-point locking. The largest holds 76 litres.

For strata, agents and landlords

Window restrictors

In NSW strata buildings, windows above the ground floor need a lock or a device that stops them opening further than 12.5 cm. The rule is there to keep children from falling. Andy fits restrictors and window locks.

Between tenancies

Rekeying when a property changes hands keeps you in control of who holds a key. Work for real estate agents and strata managers is part of the regular round.

Evictions and abandoned premises

Andy has attended hundreds of evictions. He gains entry, changes the external locks and secures doors and windows. In a residential property only a Sheriff with a warrant may remove a tenant, so please settle the legal side with your agent or lawyer before you book.

Questions about locks and safes

What does the $85 call-out include?

The call-out fee of $85 incl. GST includes the first 15 minutes of labour. It applies on weekdays from 9 to 5 on the Northern Beaches and the lower North Shore. Parts are extra.

Can my locks be rekeyed instead of replaced?

Usually, yes. Rekeying changes the pins inside the cylinder, so the old keys stop working and the lock stays on the door. If a lock is worn out, Andy will tell you before he starts.

I have lost the key to a window lock or a padlock. What now?

Keys can be made for window locks and letterboxes. A padlock without its key can be cut off and replaced.

Do you deliver and install safes?

Yes. Safes can be delivered and installed. The Yale and Ardel safes have fixing holes, so they can be anchored where they stand.

Which areas do you cover?

The Northern Beaches and the lower North Shore of Sydney.

Locked out, or planning new locks?
