Residential locksmithing
Rekeys, repairs and replacements — so your home's locks work like they should, for the people they should.
The locks on your home are the cheapest security you own, and the most neglected. Keys drift: ex-tenants, old cleaners, the tradie who never gave his copy back, the previous owner's brother-in-law. A rekey makes every old key useless in a few minutes' work per lock — far cheaper than replacing hardware — and it's the single smartest thing to do the week you move into a new place.
Locked In handles the practical middle of home locksmithing: rekeying to a fresh key, repairing locks that have gotten sticky or seized, replacing worn or broken hardware, and sorting the small failures that turn into lockouts later — a latch that doesn't sit right, a key that needs jiggling, a deadbolt that fights you every night. That jiggle is a warning; it's much cheaper fixed on a weekday than discovered broken at midnight.
Everything is mobile and quoted on arrival: Gordon comes to you across Logan, Brisbane southside and the northern Gold Coast, looks at the actual locks, and gives you the price before any work starts. If your problem turns out to be unsolvable, the callout is free — the same guarantee as every Locked In job.
What you get
Moving-in rekeys
Every key ever cut for your new place stops working — one visit, all locks keyed to a fresh key that only you hold.
Cheaper than replacement
Rekeying reuses your existing hardware. You only replace locks that are actually worn out — and you'll get a straight recommendation either way.
Fix the warning signs
Sticky, seized or jiggle-to-open locks are lockouts in training. Sorted on a weekday callout, they never become a midnight emergency.
One key for everything
Keyed-alike setups let one key run the front door, back door and garage — fewer keys, fewer problems.
Quoted before any work
The price is agreed on arrival, at the door, before a screwdriver comes out. A typical completed job is around $350 all-in.

Residential locksmithing questions
The things people usually ask before getting started.
Rekey if the hardware is in good shape and you just need old keys to stop working — it's quicker and cheaper. Replace when the mechanism itself is worn, damaged or low quality. Gordon inspects each lock and tells you which is which; he doesn't sell you new hardware you don't need.
