- Car keys and all-keys-lost — Made and programmed in the driveway, including when no spare exists.
Locksmithing in Glen Iris, in practice
Glen Iris is a suburb of large family homes on substantial blocks, and that single fact shapes most of the work. A house here commonly has a front door, a back door, a laundry door, a garage internal and side door, a side gate and a shed — six or seven cylinders, historically fitted at different times by different trades, each with its own key. The most useful job we do in this suburb is not an emergency at all; it is bringing all of that onto one key.
The housing runs from Federation and Edwardian through to substantial modern rebuilds, so the hardware ranges from genuinely antique mortice locks to current euro cylinders in aluminium stacker doors. Both get treated on their merits, and neither gets drilled because it was quicker.
Gardiners Creek and the trail bring the other regular call — keys lost on a run or a ride, sometimes with no spare at home. Those are made at the house.
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
Glen Iris questions
We have seven doors on different keys. Can that be fixed?
Yes, and it is one of the more satisfying jobs. Most cylinders can be rekeyed to a single new key; the few that cannot are usually cheap to replace. Count the doors before you ring and you will get an accurate figure on the phone.
Can the shed and the side gate go on the house key?
Frequently. Padlocks can be keyed alike to each other and often matched to the house cylinder, so the same key runs the whole property.
I lost my only car key on the trail. Is that a bigger job?
Yes, meaningfully. With no working key the replacement has to be originated from the vehicle rather than copied, which takes longer and costs more. Bring photo ID and proof of ownership — we will ask for both.
