Locksmithing in Southbank, in practice
Southbank is almost entirely apartments, and apartment locksmithing is a different job to house locksmithing. There are usually three barriers between you and your bed: the building’s front door, the lift, and your own apartment door. Only the last of those is yours. The first two are common property, controlled by the owners corporation, and no locksmith can lawfully open them on a resident’s say-so alone.
What we can do, and do constantly, is open your own apartment door without damaging it — which matters here more than almost anywhere, because a damaged common-corridor door gets billed back to you by the building manager at a price nobody enjoys. Non-destructive entry is the whole game in a tower.
The other Southbank speciality is the basement car park. Keys locked in a car three levels down, a fob that has died where there is no signal, or a car that cannot be reached because the boom needs the fob that is inside the car. Say all of that on the phone and the right approach comes out of the van.
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
Southbank questions
Can you open the building’s front door if I have lost my fob?
No, and be wary of anyone who says yes. Common entry doors, lifts and car park booms are owners corporation property and need their authority. Your own apartment door is a different matter and we can help with that today.
What proof do I need to have an apartment door opened?
Photo ID plus something tying you to the unit — a lease, a rates notice, a bill, or the building manager confirming it. It is not bureaucracy for its own sake; it is the only thing standing between a locksmith and letting a stranger into your home.
My car is on level three of a basement and the keys are inside it. What now?
Tell us the building, the level and the make, model and year. Access to the basement usually needs a resident or the building manager to let the van in, so arranging that while we are on the way saves everyone half an hour.
