Six jobs that fill a peninsula week
Cottages, units and a great deal of hardware that has been in salt air since the seventies.
House and unit lockouts
Opened by pick or bypass so the lock still works afterwards. Front doors, sliders and screen doors alike.
Car lockouts
Air wedges and long reach tools in the driveway or at the shops, and replacement keys cut beside the car when the key is lost rather than locked in.
Lost keys and rekeying
A key cut to the lock on site, or the barrel rekeyed so the missing key stops working anywhere in the house.
Seized and worn cylinders
Salt and thirty years of use wear a cylinder until the key barely turns. Usually serviced and rekeyed rather than replaced.
Break-in repairs
Doors, jambs, strikers and screen frames secured the same night and photographed first so your insurer has the evidence.
Deadlocks and upgrades
Deadbolts to AS 4145, stainless furniture where the wind reaches, and keyed-alike sets so one key runs everything.
The right lock near the water lasts three times as long as the wrong one.
Most of the seized locks we free on the peninsula were perfectly good hardware fitted without a thought for where it was going. Marine-grade cylinders and stainless furniture are barely dearer and last far longer.

- Worn cylinders serviced and rekeyed before replacement
- Sliders and screen doors adjusted rather than replaced

The questions we get asked most
Ten to twenty minutes across the peninsula, and we tell you honestly if it will be longer.
Yes. One number covering call-out and labour.
Usually a worn or salted cylinder rather than a failing lock. Service and rekey generally fixes it for years.
No surcharge, at any hour.
Almost always, and it costs a fraction as much. Old keys stop working immediately.
ID matching the address, or ID plus ownership papers for a car. Every time.
