Automotive locksmith

Melbourne CBD VIC 3000, Australia

10th Apr 2026

I have my car, a 2015 mitsubishi ASX, and the key has been acting up. It starts the car normally but distance locking/unlocking is on and off. After I try to re-sync the key it works but as soon as I put it back into the ignition, the fob refuses to work again. I’m guessing I need a new key and the programming needed along. I’m happy to use the same key blade as the one I have right now; it’s an after market anyway. Alternatively, if you could repair the one I already have, I’m all good with that…whatever option is the cheapest. Let me know approximately how much that would cost me…money is a bit tight at the moment.

I need someone to fix my door. Locks cant be change as per management

$80

Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia

6th Mar 2026

Hi, I need someone to fix my apartment door. The lock doesn’t need to be changed because management doesn’t allow that. It just needs to be tightened, and I also lost one of the screws, so a replacement screw will be needed. Please let me know if you can help and when you’re available. Thanks.

We had a great experience with the handyman who fixed our door. He arrived on time, quickly identified the issue, and repaired it efficiently. The door now works perfectly and feels much sturdier than before. He was professional, friendly, and took the time to make sure everything was working smoothly before leaving. Highly recommend his services to anyone needing reliable and quality work!

Replace door handle on bedroom doors with key lockable handles

$100

Melbourne VIC, Australia

6th Mar 2026

Replace both bedroom door handles with key lockable handles. I do not have the handles as I don’t know the measurements. Prefer similar style to existing handles if possible but main priority is that the handles fit into the existing holes. The 2 doors need to be keyed differently. The apartment is in the CBD. Parking is available but vehicle not more than 2m high and a bit of an awkward park. There is a loading zone at the bottom of Drewery Alley,

Hadi did a fantastic job and exactly what I asked for. His communications were timely and he was super flexible with time and was able to accommodate my times. The door locks look great. He did a neat tidy professional job and cleaned up after. 10/10 would recommend.
