Straight answers to common locksmith questions.
Useful information before you book residential, commercial, automotive, safe, digital or emergency locksmith work.
Can you open every lock?
In many lockout situations we can gain entry without replacing the lock. High-security systems may require a different approach depending on the hardware and circumstances.
Do you offer emergency locksmith services?
Yes. Lockmaster provides 24/7 locksmith service for urgent access and security problems across the Sunshine Coast. Call (07) 5443 8855.
How quickly can a locksmith get to me?
Response time depends on your suburb, current technician commitments and the type of job. Lockmaster is based centrally in Maroochydore.
Should I rekey after moving house?
Usually. Rekeying compatible locks means old copies no longer operate them while often retaining the existing hardware.
What is the difference between rekeying and replacing a lock?
Rekeying changes the key that operates a compatible lock. Replacement changes the actual hardware.
What is a restricted key system?
It is a controlled key platform where duplication is limited to authorised channels and signatories, helping organisations control extra copies.
Can one key operate several doors?
Yes, where hardware is compatible. This may be achieved by keying locks alike or through a designed master key hierarchy.
Can you install digital locks?
Yes. Lockmaster installs and services suitable standalone digital locks and wider access-control solutions.
Can you open or repair safes?
Yes. We offer safe opening, servicing, repair, supply and installation for many domestic and commercial safe types.
