Locksmith jobs in Newtown

Newtown's period homes often have heavy timber doors with mortice locks, leadlight panels and original hardware owners want to keep. A good locksmith can service or rekey many older locks, and fit a discreet deadlock where the original can't be made secure.

Common questions

Can old mortice locks be rekeyed?

Many can. The locksmith resets the lock's levers and cuts new keys. Some very old or worn mortice locks are better replaced, and they'll tell you which after looking at it.

Will a new deadlock damage my period front door?

Fitted properly, it shouldn't. Ask for hardware in a finish that matches your door, and check with the City of Greater Geelong before changing the front door itself if your home has a heritage overlay.

Do you cover Newtown 3220?

Yes. Requests from Newtown and nearby suburbs go to an independent local locksmith. They call you back with an ETA and a price before coming out.
