Services
Rekey Locks
Rekeying modifies existing locks to invalidate old keys while retaining hardware. This cost-effective solution enhances security for new property owners, after lost keys, or when managing access control. Our technicians complete rekeying swiftly, often within business hours, with pricing starting at $175 per lock. Services include single-key convenience systems and emergency rekeying for urgent security breaches.
Digital Locks
Digital lock installations provide keyless access via PIN codes, biometrics, or smart technology. We supply and install mechanical, electronic, and hardwired systems suitable for homes, offices, and high-traffic commercial doors. Features include remote monitoring, temporary access codes, and integration with existing security systems. Recommended brands include Rosslare and Salto, with options for battery-powered or hardwired solutions.
Emergency Lockout
24/7 emergency assistance for residential and commercial lockouts. Our mobile service typically arrives within 30 minutes in South Yarra, using non-destructive techniques to regain access. Pricing starts at $150 during business hours, with after-hours quotes available. Photo ID verification required before service commencement to ensure property security.
Master Key Systems
Custom master key systems allow tiered access control for multi-tenant properties, businesses, or body corporates. We install restricted systems where only the issuing locksmith can duplicate keys, enhancing security. Services include converting existing locks to restricted systems without full replacement, reducing costs while maintaining access control integrity.
Home Safes
Secure storage solutions for valuables, documents, and sensitive items. We recommend and install fire-resistant and burglary-rated safes, ensuring proper wall or floor anchoring to prevent theft. Services include safe selection guidance, compliance with insurance requirements, and installation of cash deposit safes for businesses needing secure after-hours payments.

Report
Stewart was excellent and such a professional in helping me fix my lock. Long story short, I called up a terrible locksmith who left me locked out of my house for three hours and bunged up my lock. I called Stewart and he arrived in five minutes and fixed my lock in even less. He clearly knows what hes doing and I would recommend to anyone in a pinch.

After locking myself out twice in a month and Ben arrived in under 20 each time, quickly replacing locks at a very reasonable price for immediate service. Trustworthy and friendly with great advice.

Ben at Stewart Locksmiths was amazing! My parent's home was broken into and came to the house within 20 minutes of calling. Changed all of the locks for us and made great recommendations about keys etc. He went above and beyond with helping us. I forgot to ask him to change a different door and he was able to help me out super quick. Super knowledgeable, professional, fast and friendly. Highly recommend!
