24 hours · Cleveland & the Redlands

It is late, the door is shut, and you are still outside.

We are twelve minutes from most of Cleveland, Ormiston and Wellington Point. Ring the number, describe the door, and you will be given a price and a time before anyone starts the van.

Homes, units, shopfronts and cars — opened without breaking the lock.

What we do

Every kind of shut door

All of it done at your address, from the van, with the hardware already on board. Nothing is ordered in and nothing is left half-finished.

Salt air is quietly eating your locks

Anywhere within a couple of streets of the water — Cleveland Point, Raby Bay, Ormiston, Wellington Point — locks age faster than they do inland. Salt gets into the cylinder, the springs bind, and one morning the key turns halfway and stops.

That is not a broken key and it usually is not a broken lock. It is a cylinder that needed cleaning and the right lubricant a year ago.

Service area

The Redlands, bay to bypass

Island callouts to Coochiemudlo and North Stradbroke run on the ferry timetable — ring and we will tell you honestly when we can be there.

Straight answers

What people ask at midnight

From Wharf Street, most of Cleveland, Ormiston and Wellington Point is ten to fifteen minutes. Capalaba, Victoria Point and Redland Bay a little more. You get a real number on the phone, not a hopeful one.

Rarely. Most doors open with picks or a bypass and the lock works afterwards exactly as it did before. Drilling is for locks that are already seized or broken, and it never happens before you have heard the price and said yes.

We ask for something that ties you to the address — a licence, a lease, a rates notice. It takes half a minute, and it is exactly what stops anyone else paying us to open your door.

Usually not. On the bayside that is nearly always salt and grit in the cylinder. Forcing it is how keys snap off inside the lock. Stop turning it, ring us, and it is normally a clean and service rather than a new lock.

Nights, weekends and public holidays cost more than a Tuesday afternoon, the same as any locksmith. The difference is that you are told the figure before we drive, not after the door is open.
