Locksmithing in Fitzroy, in practice
Fitzroy is the oldest suburb in Melbourne and the doors show it. Single-fronted terraces with original mortice locks sit next to converted warehouses with doors built for freight, and both are now somebody’s front entrance. The terrace hardware fails slowly — stiff, stiffer, then a snapped key. The warehouse hardware fails suddenly, because it is heavy and there is a lot of it.
Rental turnover is high and share houses are common, which makes key count a real issue. It is not unusual for a Fitzroy share house to have keys with three former housemates. Rekeying a single cylinder is a twenty-minute job and it resolves all of that at once.
Brunswick and Gertrude Streets trade late, which means the commercial calls land late too. Aluminium shopfronts, roller shutters and back doors propped open through service all take punishment, and a bar that cannot lock up at 2am is a genuine emergency rather than a booking.
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
Fitzroy questions
Three housemates have moved out and I do not know how many keys exist. What now?
Rekey the front door. It changes what the key does rather than replacing the lock, so it is quick and cheap, and every old key stops working the moment it is done. If you rent, you must give the rental provider a key as soon as practicable.
Our bar cannot lock up and it is 2am. Do you actually answer?
Yes. A premises that cannot be secured is treated as urgent, not as a job for tomorrow. Ring rather than message.
My key has been getting stiff for months. Should I wait?
No. That is the lock telling you it is about to fail, and it will fail at the worst moment. Servicing or recylindering it now is a fraction of the cost of an after-hours lockout plus a snapped key extraction.
