We diagnose and fix door locks, deadbolts, handle sets and cylinders across Greater Brisbane. Most repairs are done on the first visit — if replacement is needed, we'll source the right parts and get it done fast.
What We Fix & Replace
From a jammed handle to a completely failed deadbolt — we carry the tools to diagnose and repair on the spot. If replacement parts are needed, we'll source them and return same-day or next-day.
Handle won't turn? Spindle slipping, misaligned, or a foreign object in the mechanism? We strip it, diagnose the fault, and get it working — no unnecessary replacements.
Seized, corroded or damaged deadbolt? We assess the unit, advise on the best replacement, and install it — usually same-day once parts are sourced.
Key won't turn, key broken inside, or you've lost all copies? We extract broken keys, replace cylinders, and have you back to a working lock fast.
Bathroom or bedroom privacy lock stuck, jammed, or broken? We fix and replace privacy mechanisms without damaging your door or hardware.
Multipoint locks that won't latch, or a mortice lock with a broken gearbox? We diagnose the fault and advise on compatible replacement parts — these jobs sometimes require a parts run or supplier order.
Door latch not catching? Often it's a simple alignment issue — strike plate shift, door drop, or swollen frame. We adjust and fix before recommending a full replacement.

FAQ
Common questions about our lock repair and replacement service in Brisbane.
We always try to repair first. Repairs are faster and cheaper, and many faults — misaligned spindles, seized cylinders, foreign objects in the mechanism — don't require a new lock at all. If the lock body is cracked, corroded beyond recovery, or security has been compromised, we'll recommend replacement and explain why.
Repairs — yes, almost always. If we can fix it on-site with the tools we carry, it's done in one visit. Replacements depend on parts: common hardware like privacy knobs and cylinders is available from Bunnings same-day, so turnaround is usually a few hours. Less common lock types may need a supplier order and a return visit within 24–48 hours. We'll be upfront about this when we diagnose.
Pricing depends on the type of lock, the fault, and your location. Simple repairs typically start from $80–$120. Replacements vary based on the hardware required. We always quote upfront before starting. Call 0414 281 764 for a quick indication.
We work on most residential and light commercial hardware including Lockwood, Gainsborough, Schlage, Kwikset, Yale, and generic brands. This covers deadbolts, knobsets, lever sets, privacy locks, mortice locks, and multipoint systems. If you're unsure, just call and describe what you have.
Often yes — many deadbolts and lever sets have replaceable cylinders that can be swapped without disturbing the rest of the hardware. This is usually the quickest and cheapest option when the fault is isolated to the cylinder or keyway.
Yes. Broken key extraction is a routine service. We use specialist extraction tools to remove the broken piece without damaging the lock body. In most cases the lock can then be re-used with a new key.
We carry tools and extraction equipment on every job. For replacement hardware, common parts like privacy knobs, cylinders, and standard deadbolts are usually a quick Bunnings run away — same-day in most cases. Less common or brand-specific hardware may need to be ordered. We'll always tell you upfront what's involved.
