Locked out right now?
Call (07) 4887 4117, tell us where you are and what’s locked, and we’ll give you an ETA and a price before we head out. Most house and car lockouts are opened without damaging the lock.
Child or pet locked in a car on a hot day?
If a child or pet is locked in a car, call 000 straight away. A parked car in a Rockhampton summer heats up dangerously fast. RACQ also attends these call-outs free on 13 11 11, member or not. Don’t wait for a locksmith.
A mobile locksmith service across Rockhampton
We work out of a van fitted with the tools, locks and key-cutting gear for most jobs, so the work gets done where you are. No towing the car to a dealer, no waiting at home for a part to arrive. We cover both sides of the river, from Park Avenue, Berserker and Norman Gardens to the CBD, Wandal, Allenstown and The Range, plus Gracemere and the outer suburbs.
Emergency Lockouts
Houses, units and cars opened fast, plus snapped keys and break-in repairs.
Car Locksmith
Car and ute lockouts, lost and spare keys, remotes and key programming.
Home Locks
Lock changes, rekeying, deadlocks, sliding door and window locks, and spare keys cut on site.
Home locks, rekeying and keys cut
New house, lost keys, or someone who shouldn’t still has one? Rekeying changes the inside of the locks you already have, so every old key stops working, and it costs less than new hardware. We fit and replace deadlocks, entrance sets, sliding door and screen door locks and keyed window locks. We also cut keys on site from the van, so you can sort spares for the family, a neighbour or a key safe while we’re there.
Business and commercial locks
Shops, offices, workshops and depots need locks that cope with daily use. We install and service commercial locks and door closers, and set up restricted key systems so keys can only be copied with your written authority. A master key system lets you open every door while staff only open the ones they need.
Renting in Rockhampton: locks and the rules
Rockhampton has a big rental market, and Queensland has clear rules about locks. Since 1 September 2024, every rental must have working locks or latches on external doors and windows, and the owner supplies them and gives each tenant a key. Changing the locks normally needs the tenant and the owner to agree, except in an emergency or where a tenant is experiencing domestic and family violence. We work with tenants, owners and property managers, and we confirm who’s authorising the job before we start.
Rockhampton heat and your locks
Rockhampton sits right on the Tropic of Capricorn. Long hot summers, dust and wet-season humidity dry out and gum up locks, and homes out at Yeppoon and Emu Park also get salt air. A key that drags or has to be jiggled is the one that snaps. We service locks with the right dry lubricant, replace worn or corroded cylinders, and can clean out locks that have had floodwater or silt through them.
Upfront pricing, no surprises
A locksmith’s price usually has two parts: a call-out fee to get to you, and the labour and parts for the job. After-hours call-outs cost more than business hours. We give you both on the phone before we come out, and confirm the total on site before any work starts. If the job turns out bigger than described, you hear the new price first and can say no.
Licensed locksmiths only
Queensland locksmiths must hold a security equipment installer licence under the Security Providers Act 1993, which means criminal history checks and training. Ask for licence details when you book and when the locksmith arrives, and check them on the Office of Fair Trading register. A genuine locksmith will happily show you.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you get to me?
It depends where you are and the time of day. You get an ETA on the phone before you commit, so you’re not left guessing.
Is there a call-out fee?
Yes. Nearly every mobile locksmith charges one, because getting to you takes time. You’ll hear the call-out fee and the likely cost of the job before we head out.
Do you cover my suburb?
We cover Rockhampton on both sides of the river, plus Gracemere. If you’re further out, call and ask and we’ll tell you straight away.
Can you cut keys on the spot?
Yes, for most standard house keys. We cut them from the van while we’re there. Restricted and high-security keys are ordered with the owner’s authority.
