TARNEIT · OPEN 24 HOURS
Tarneit locksmith. New estates, old problems.
Rekeys after settlement, spare sets for a growing house, and lockouts at two in the morning. Tarneit, Truganina and Wyndham Vale.
What happens when you call
These are new numbers, so there is nothing to quote back at you yet. What we can tell you is exactly how the job runs.
A time that accounts for the estates
Tarneit is spread out and we price the drive honestly. You get a window based on your street, not on the suburb name.
The number does not move
Quoted on the phone, repeated at the door, same on the invoice. After-hours included, no callout fee underneath.
The hardware stays where it can
Multipoint and euro cylinder locks are worth saving, and we open them rather than replacing them by default.
No handover
Whoever takes the call drives out. Nothing gets passed on to a contractor you have not spoken to.
What we do in Tarneit
Six things make up nearly all of our work. Anything outside them, ask – if it is not something we do properly we will say so.
House lockouts
Newer estate homes run multipoint locking on the front door, which is excellent until the gearbox jams with you outside. We open it and diagnose whether the mechanism or the handle is the fault.

Car lockouts
Locked out on a driveway in one of the newer estates, often with the spare inside the house. We open the car and, if the remote has died, sort a working key the same visit.

Lost keys
Builder-supplied keys get handed around during the first year and nobody knows where they all went. We cut a fresh set and can void the rest at the same time.
Lost keys and replacement keys →
Rekeying
Worth doing the week you move in. Builders, tilers and painters all had a key to a new Tarneit house, and rekeying the existing cylinders ends that in under an hour.
Rekeying and lock changes →
Break-in repairs
On a new build the lock usually survives and the timber does not. We get the door closing and locking tonight and mark up what the builder should be fixing under warranty.

Security upgrades
Estate homes come with the minimum the code allows. A keyed patio bolt on the sliding door and window locks at the back are the two upgrades that actually change anything.
Deadlocks and security upgrades →Working in Tarneit
Tarneit is one of the fastest growing pockets in Melbourne and most of the housing is under fifteen years old. That means builder-grade hardware still on the original keys, and a lot of requests to rekey after settlement or cut a second set for a growing family.
We work from 5 Thomas Carr Dr, a short run from Tarneit Station and Wyndham Village.
