A workers cottage, a sixties walk-up and a new build, all on the same block.
Kurilpa Street is a few minutes from Boundary Street in any direction. We quote the whole job on the phone and the person who gives you that number is the one who arrives.

Six jobs, numbered in the order we get called for them
West End has more housing types per street than anywhere else in Brisbane. The order below is roughly how often each one comes up.
01
House and flat lockouts
Cottages off Vulture Street, walk-ups on Hardgrave Road and new apartments near the river. Opened without damage in almost every case.
02
Car lockouts
On the street, in the Davies Park car park or at the markets. Air wedges and long reach tools, and replacement keys cut beside the car when the key is lost rather than locked in.
03
Lost keys and rekeying
Cut to the lock on site, or the barrel rekeyed so the missing key stops working. Share houses in particular should rekey when somebody moves out.
04
Shops and cafes on Boundary Street
Changeovers, restricted key systems, glass door patch locks and after-hours work so you are not shut during trade.
05
Break-in repairs
Doors, jambs, strikers and roller shutters made secure the same night and photographed before we touch anything, so your insurer has what it needs.
06
Deadlocks and keyed-alike sets
Deadbolts to AS 4145 where the door can take them, one key for the house and the side gate, and restricted profiles where copies should not be possible.
Three steps and nothing hidden between them
1
Describe the door
Timber or aluminium, deadlock or latch, house or flat. That is usually enough for us to quote the whole job in one number.
2
We open it
Picks and bypass tools first. If a lock cannot open without damage you hear about it before we start, with the replacement price in the same breath.
3
Pay what we quoted
Card or cash at the door. Late, wet or difficult does not change the figure we gave you on the phone.
The peninsula and the suburbs around Boundary Street.
Ten to twenty minutes for nearly all of these from Kurilpa Street.

Questions worth asking anyone you ring
Usually ten to twenty minutes on the peninsula. We give you a figure we believe and call back if it slips.
No. The number you get on the phone includes the call-out and the labour. It is the number you pay.
Rekey. It takes a few minutes per cylinder, costs far less than new locks, and every key that walked out the door stops working at once.
Yes. Patch locks, hook bolts and floor springs are standard work and we carry the common patterns.
No. Same price, any hour.
Something matching the address, or for a car, ID plus proof of ownership. Everyone, every time, no exceptions.
Out on the footpath with the door shut?
One call, one price, and a locksmith from Kurilpa Street rather than a dispatcher three suburbs away.
