Locksmithing in Carnegie, in practice
Carnegie has two housing stories running at once. The 1960s and 70s walk-up flats off Neerim and Truganini Roads still carry their original common entries and flat doors, and the newer blocks along Koornang Road bring intercoms, fobs and fire doors. Both generate the same call: someone is on the wrong side of a door that has latched behind them.
Student and young-renter turnover near the Caulfield campus keeps the rekey work steady. A flat that has been let five times in six years has an unknown number of keys in circulation, and rekeying the cylinder on move-in day makes every one of them useless for a fraction of what new hardware costs.
Behind the flats, the streets toward Murrumbeena and Glen Huntly are family homes with the usual mix — a good front deadlatch, a neglected back door, and four different keys for four different doors. Those are upgrade jobs rather than emergencies, and they get done in one visit.
Every job, wherever it is: a price range on the phone, a firm figure before any tool comes out, non-destructive methods first, and a tax invoice afterwards. ABN 73 112 836 867, public liability insured, current National Police Check.

Questions
Carnegie questions
I am a student renting a flat here. Can I get the locks rekeyed?
You can ask, and you should. In Victoria a renter needs the rental provider's consent to change a lock, and they cannot unreasonably refuse. Often the agent will organise it, because securing the property at the start of a tenancy is generally their responsibility. Our guide on renting and locks sets out where you stand.
The block has a fob for the front door and a key for my flat. Which can you do?
Your own flat door, straightforwardly. The common entry and its fob system belong to the owners corporation, so that side needs their authority rather than a single resident's. Say which one you are locked out of when you ring.
Do you charge more late at night?
Yes, and you are told the figure before anyone travels. A 2am call-out costs more than a Tuesday morning; what does not change is that the price is agreed before any tool comes out.
