Do you work weekends?
Standard working hours are Mon – Fri. Emergency locksmiths are available after hours and on weekends. If you need a scheduled locksmith service after hours or over the weekend, we request that clients leave a set of keys and work instructions at the property during the week. Please get in touch to discuss your needs, and we can give you a quote as prices may vary.

Do you offer a warranty?
All service work and workmanship are covered by a 12-month warranty from the completion date, with the exception of strike alignments.
Strike alignments cannot be covered under warranty due to the uncontrollable and unpredictable nature of their causes. However, we will always try to repair the problem in such a way that it will reduce the likelihood of a recurrence.
What are your payment terms?
All jobs must be paid in full on completion unless prior arrangements have been made. We accept payment by cash or credit card.
How long will I have to wait?
If you have an appointment for a scheduled job, we will give you a window of arrival time. If you need an emergency locksmith or a mobile locksmith, we try to arrive within 30 minutes. Our locksmiths will give you a reliable time of arrival window.

I’ve lost my keys to my mailbox. How much to come out and make keys?
A locksmith can pick or make an impression of a key on-site to your mailbox rather than breaking the lock and replacing it. Get in touch with our team.
We are getting our pool compliant, and our doors are not up to code. Is there something you can do to make them compliant?
We can install additional locks at the required height to make them compliant. We can also install door closers to make your door self-latching to be compliant. Making your pool compliant is determined by preliminary checks and a licensed pool inspector.
Our keys got stolen. Can you change our locks or do we need to buy new ones?
If your locks are good quality or in fair condition, you do not need to install new locks to change the keys. We can change the combination inside your lock to suit a new key. Your old key won’t work anymore.
We have bought a digital lock on Amazon. Do you install these?
Lockcorp can install your supplied digital lock. We can install locks on a variety of doors and different materials. Please get in touch for a free quote.
Do you do car key replacements?
Yes, we do. We provide automotive locksmith services to get you back into your car safely. Call us if you’re locked out of your car.
Do you replace doors?
Yes, we do, but this is dependent on the quality of the frame and your requirements. We have several suppliers for solid timber entrance doors to factory steel-clad exit doors. We can also supply and install appropriate locks for commercial premises, ensuring compliance with your building and fire codes.
I'm locked out of my house. Are you going to break the lock to get in and will I need to buy a lock?
If you lose your keys, Lockcorp can bypass your lock security without breaking it and produce keys onsite to your lock. We can also rekey your locks if your keys are lost, stolen or vulnerable and can be tied to your address. We only pick or bypass locks if we have a filled-out disclaimer form and you provide us with proof that this is your lock, and we have permission to open it. Identification, a driver’s licence, rates notice, or lease agreement should be shown to the attending locksmith before works commence.
Our Bifold doors are jammed and hard to open?
Lockcorp service a wide range of doors and bifold doors. As Bifold doors can come out of alignment very easily, it’s not an issue that we can always solve. However, maintenance service of your Bifold doors can prevent wear and tear and prolong the life of your doors.
