Locked out of your house or unit
Most doors can be opened without damage, using picking and bypass tools rather than a drill. Deadlocked doors and high-security locks take longer. If a lock does have to be drilled, we tell you first and fit a new one on the spot, so you’re never left with a door that won’t lock.
Locked out of your car or ute
Keys locked in the car at the shops, at work or at the footy is one of the most common calls we get. Most cars and utes open without a scratch. If the keys are lost rather than locked inside, our car locksmith page covers replacements.
Snapped and stuck keys
A key that snaps usually means the lock was already stiff or worn, and Rockhampton’s heat and dust don’t help. We get the broken piece out, cut a new key and check the lock. If the cylinder is worn, replacing it now saves another call-out later.
After a break-in
Call the police first, then us. We repair or replace damaged locks, make forced doors lockable so the house is secure that night, and rekey the locks if keys were taken. Insurers usually want an itemised invoice, so we break everything down for you.
Child or pet locked in a car on a hot day?
Call 000 first. A parked car in a Rockhampton summer heats up dangerously fast. RACQ also attends these call-outs free on 13 11 11, member or not. Don’t wait for a locksmith.
What to do while you wait
Stay somewhere safe and well lit, especially at night. If you feel unsafe, call 000.
Have ID ready. A reputable locksmith checks you live at the property or own the car before opening it.
Don’t force the door or break a window. Glass and door frame repairs nearly always cost more than the lockout.
After-hours call-outs
Night and weekend call-outs cost more than business hours, because someone has to be on call. We tell you the after-hours price on the phone so you can decide whether it’s worth it or can wait until morning.
Emergency locksmith FAQs
Will you need to drill the lock?
Not often. Most locks open without damage. If drilling is the only way in, we explain why and price the replacement lock before we start.
What ID do I need?
Something linking you to the address: a driver’s licence, lease, rates notice or bill. It stops anyone else getting a locksmith to open your home.
Can you secure my house the same day after a break-in?
Usually, yes. Damaged locks are replaced on the spot and forced doors made lockable. A badly split frame may need a carpenter for the permanent repair.
