Statistics from the most recent tasks on Airtasker over the last 4 years.

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

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.

Melbourne CBD VIC 3000, Australia

2nd Jan 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.
