PRAHRAN · OPEN 24 HOURS
Prahran locksmith, round the clock.
Apartment entries, terrace front doors and building intercoms. We work Prahran, Windsor and South Yarra at any hour, with the price set before we start.
What happens when you call
These are new numbers, so there is nothing to quote back at you yet. What we can tell you is exactly how the job runs.
Told the time, and told if it slips
You get a window based on where the van is, and a call if traffic changes it. Not a number picked to keep you on the phone.
One price, said twice
Quoted on the call, repeated at the door, and that is the invoice. No callout fee hiding underneath it.
Quiet, and the lock stays
Picks first, and at 3am in a terrace that matters. Nothing gets drilled unless you have agreed to it and know what replacing it costs.
The same person turns up
Whoever you spoke to is who arrives. No call centre passing your address to whoever answered last.
What we do in Prahran
Six things make up nearly all of our work. Anything outside them, ask – if it is not something we do properly we will say so.
House lockouts
Terrace front doors on the Chapel Street side, and buzzer-entry flats above the shops. We get you through the street door and your own door, and we keep the noise down at 3am.

Car lockouts
Parked off Commercial Road with the keys on the seat. We open it where it stands, and we can cut a replacement before you have to move for the permit zone.

Lost keys
Share house, three housemates, one set left. We cut clean copies from the cylinder and can rekey at the same time so the set that walked off stops working.
Lost keys and replacement keys →
Rekeying
Between tenancies this is the job that matters most in Prahran. Rekeying the existing cylinders takes under an hour and kills every key handed out over the last five years.
Rekeying and lock changes →
Break-in repairs
Rear laneway doors and ground floor windows are the weak points here. We make the door lock again the same night and tell you honestly what a laneway gate would change.
Break-in repairs →
Security upgrades
Original terrace rim locks look right and stop nobody. A deadbolt behind the period hardware keeps the look and actually secures the door.
Deadlocks and security upgrades →Working in Prahran
Prahran is terraces, converted warehouses and a lot of apartments above shops. Building entry doors, intercom-released strikes and small-format euro cylinders come up far more often here than in the suburbs further out.
We work from 58 Porter St, a short run from Chapel Street and the Prahran Market.

Questions we get asked
How quickly do you get to Prahran?
I am locked out of a flat and the street door is locked too. Can you do both?
A housemate moved out and kept a key. What is the fix?
Will you damage an original rim lock on a heritage terrace?
Do you work South Yarra and Windsor as well?
