Top Locksmith related questions
Most of the jobs we see are for lockouts, rekeying locks, and installing new deadbolts or smart locks. Customers often post tasks like “Locked out of unit – need someone now” or “Need help replacing a door handle with a keyed lock”. There’s also a steady demand for jobs like fixing jammed locks or changing keys across multiple doors (e.g. “I want all 4 locks to use 1 key”).
On average, most locksmith tasks are priced between $100 and $250, depending on urgency, time of day, and job complexity. For example:
A basic lockout call in Waverley paid $200
A smart lock install in Sylvania Waters went for $200
A multi-lock rekeying job in South West VIC paid $250
Emergency or weekend jobs can attract higher offers, especially when customers post with phrases like “need someone urgently” or “lost my keys, can’t get in”.
Yes! Lockout jobs spike on weeknights and weekends, especially in urban areas like Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane. Customers often post after work hours or on Friday/Saturday nights saying things like “locked myself out – need help ASAP”. If you’re available for after-hours work, you can charge more and pick up high-value tasks.
We regularly see strong demand in inner-city suburbs and high-density areas like:
Waverley, Bondi, and Marrickville (NSW)
South Yarra, Hawthorn, and St Kilda (VIC)
Brisbane’s inner north and west
These areas often have a mix of renters and short-stay properties, where issues like “can’t open security door” or “tenant needs lock changed” come up often.
Most customers prefer a clear, fixed price upfront — especially for standard jobs like lockouts, rekeys, or simple installations. You’ll often see them say things like “please quote all-inclusive price” or “just need a quick fix, not sure what this should cost”. Be upfront about what’s included (e.g. new cylinder, how many keys) so they know exactly what they’re paying for.
Urgent, complex, or multi-lock jobs generally pay more. For example:
An emergency night-time unlock can go for $250+
A smart lock installation with setup and testing fetches $180–$250
A multi-door rekey or “master key setup” might pay $300+ depending on property size
Jobs that involve “supply and install” also tend to bring in more than labour-only tasks.
Bundling is a great way to boost your earnings. Instead of just doing a lockout, you could offer to “supply and install a new lock”, or bundle in a security door check, hinge fix, or smart lock programming. Some Taskers offer “full door hardware refresh” or include a multi-key rekey special (e.g. 3 doors rekeyed for a set price). Customers love packages that simplify their life — especially when they say things like “just moved in, want all locks sorted”.
Customers want someone who is:
Responsive
(especially for urgent jobs)
Clear with pricing
Experienced and trustworthy
Reviews that mention “quick to arrive”, “explained everything clearly”, or “solved the issue without damaging the door” are big trust signals. Including a few before/after photos and offering to bring your own lock parts can also help you stand out.
