What do locksmith services include?

Locksmith services typically include assistance with accessing your home, vehicle, office, or other property when you’ve lost or misplaced your keys. 

A master locksmith may also provide key cutting, lock and key repair, lock and key replacement, and 24-hour service. Each Tasker’s offerings may vary, so be sure to specify what you need when you put up a task post. 

Mobile Locksmith

While some locksmiths may have brick-and-mortar shops where you can get your keys cut or repaired, mobile locksmiths go to your location and assist you from wherever you are. So when you request a master locksmith through our platform, chances are you’ll be working with a mobile locksmith. They’ll travel to your home, office, or even the car park you’re in, then help you gain access even without your keys. 

Emergency Locksmith

Need a locksmith ASAP? You can easily find affordable 24-hour locksmith services through Airtasker. These locksmiths are typically available even after “regular” hours and know that there’s nothing more panic-inducing than being locked out of your own home late at night. Emergency locksmiths can also help you if your house has been broken into, and you need to replace the locks ASAP. 

Some may also specialise in opening safes, recoding electronic keypad locks, and reprogramming transponder car keys.  

Auto Locksmith

Auto locksmiths specialise in security and access to vehicles, including cars, vans, and motorcycles. For example, if you’ve locked your car keys inside the vehicle, chipped the master key, or need tech support for a smart key, request an auto locksmith near you. These specialists can travel to your garage, the car park, or wherever you’re located. 

Auto locksmiths aren’t the only automobile specialists you can find on Airtasker. You can also book a mobile mechanic who can check your vehicle right in your driveway or garage. 

Lock and Key Replacement

Part of securing your home, car, or other property includes changing the locks and keys. It’s a good idea to change these when you’ve moved houses or lost your keys. For example, if your home was recently robbed, you’d want to get this done ASAP. 

And if you’re a landlord, you’ll need to change the lock and key every time a tenant moves out. Airtasker helps you find local lock and key replacement specialists for your home, car, and more. They may dismantle the old lock entirely or modify it so that you’ll need a new key to access it - but without tearing down the entire lock. 

Lock and Key Repair

Frozen door locks chipped keys, and latches that don’t work all make your home a bit more vulnerable to intruders. Our platform helps you find master locksmiths who can repair locks and keys quickly and conveniently. 

You can request lock and key repair experts for your car, doors, and even your windows. And in case it’s not just your door locks that needs fixing, you can also use Airtasker to find a local handyperson to fix your door

$100

Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia

24th Aug 2026

I need someone to supply and install a simple lock on the outside of an internal walk-in wardrobe door in my CBD apartment. I am looking for a small locking hasp and staple (hasp latch) with a small keyed padlock — not a full door-handle replacement and not a high-security lock. It's just to keep that space able to be locked from outside. Please include: - Supply of a suitable small hasp/staple and keyed padlock - All screws, tools and installation - A neat, secure finish with no unnecessary damage to the door or door frame - Check that the door closes and locks properly The door is an internal timber wardrobe door. Please bring a suitable option, or message me first if you need more information. Location: Melbourne CBD, near Southern Cross Station. Budget: $100 total, including hardware and installation.

Automatic door issue

$100

Docklands VIC 3008, Australia

20th Jul 2026

Hi, We are seeking a quotation for inspection and rectification of an electronic access-controlled door at an office suite. The door is the only means of entry and exit for the office, with no alternative emergency exit available. Recently, the access control backup battery failed and the power lead to the control unit became disconnected. As a result, the exit button and PIN pad lost power while the magnetic lock remained engaged, preventing the door from being opened from either side. The backup battery has since been replaced and the door is currently operating. However, the existing system does not have a low-battery alarm, audible warning or manual emergency release to immediately disengage the magnetic lock during a power failure or system malfunction. We require a qualified security, access control or fire systems contractor to provide a quotation for the following: Inspect the complete electronic door access system. Confirm whether the current installation complies with applicable emergency egress and life-safety requirements. Check the operation and fail-safe configuration of the magnetic lock. Supply and install a break-glass emergency release or other compliant manual release device, if required. Supply and install a low-battery alarm or monitoring system. Test and commission the complete system after rectification. Provide a written report confirming the findings, recommended works and compliance status. Advise the expected timeframe for completion.

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.

We have a troublesome door to an upstairs balcony that needs repair. The lock and now spindle are not turning at all. We tried removing the handle and still can’t turn the handle. Need a locksmith, carpenter or handyman to help me firstly open but ideally also diagnose and fix the door issues because this has happened a few times already before. See attached photos for the mechanism. to access the outside, if we can’t get the door open, you will need a ladder to get onto the balcony. It’s probably about 2.5 off the ground to the balcony, fairly straightforward to access with a ladder but we don’t have one here unfortunately. So please bring a ladder just in case. If it needs new hardware please let me know. I think it’s probably an alignment issue. We are selling the house, ideally today but any time before Wednesday is fine - Wednesday is the next inspection.

Fantastic job super quick and efficient and really knowledgeable about how to fix it. Great communication
