When it can't wait

Some lock problems can wait until morning. Others cannot: you are outside in the fog with no key, a door will not lock after a break-in, or a key has snapped off inside the only lock to the house. Call, explain what happened, and the dispatcher will tell you honestly when a technician can get to your street.

If there has been a break-in, call the Brisbane Police Department first and wait until the police say it is safe before having locks repaired.

Pricing at odd hours

Ask about price before you agree to anything. The price list shows the service call fee and starting prices, and the dispatcher can tell you whether the time of day affects the total. You get a firm quote from the technician before work begins.

Stay safe while you wait

Wait somewhere lit and visible, ideally with a neighbour or in a nearby business. Keep your phone charged and answer calls from unfamiliar numbers, since the technician may call for directions on the hillside streets. When the job is done, take a minute to think about whether rekeying makes sense, especially if keys were lost or stolen. The residential and commercial pages cover follow-up work.

Common urgent situations in Brisbane

In a hillside town, many urgent calls are about access. A front door at the top of a long stair with no other way in, a garden gate that locked behind you, or an in-law unit whose key was left inside. Down at Sierra Point and in Crocker Park, urgent calls are more often about securing a business: a door damaged after hours, an exit device that will not latch, or a lost ring of warehouse keys.

Each needs slightly different tools. The more detail you give on the call, such as the type of door, the lock brand if you can see it, and whether there is an alarm, the better prepared the technician will be.

After the emergency

Once you are back inside or the door is secure again, take stock. If a key was lost or stolen, rekeying is the next step. If a lock was damaged, ask whether the door frame or strike also needs reinforcing. And save the number, so the next call is quicker.

Questions callers ask

When can someone arrive?

It depends on the time and where other jobs are. The dispatcher will tell you honestly when you call.

Do I need ID for a lockout?

Yes. Expect to show ID with the address, a lease or other proof you live there before a door is opened.

What if the lock was damaged in a break-in?

Call the police first. Once they are done, the technician can repair or replace the lock and strike so the door secures again.
