Everyone says twenty-four hours. Ring at 2am and find out who meant it.
We are built around the hours other locksmiths route to voicemail. From Wynnum Road we cover the eastern suburbs and most of Brisbane overnight, at the same price we would charge at lunchtime.

What 11pm to 6am actually looks like
The call mix after midnight is nothing like the daytime one. These six are almost all of it.
Locked out of the house
Door pulled shut, keys inside, everyone asleep. Opened by pick or bypass so nothing needs replacing and nobody has to wake the neighbours.
Locked out of the car
Service station forecourts, hospital car parks and the side of the road. Air wedges and long reach tools, and replacement keys cut on site when the key is lost rather than inside.
Break-ins, made secure tonight
A forced door cannot wait until Monday. We secure the opening the same night, photograph the damage first, and come back to repair it properly once your insurer has seen it.
Lost keys
Cut to the lock on site. If the key has gone missing somewhere public with anything identifying attached, we rekey instead so the lost one stops working.
Shops and venues before opening
Roller shutters, shopfront patch locks and back-of-house doors, sorted at 5am so you are trading on time rather than closed at nine.
Urgent rekeys
After a break-in, a lost bunch or a relationship that has ended badly, the locks can be rekeyed the same night. It takes minutes per cylinder.
Answering at 2am is a staffing decision, not a marketing line.
Most locksmiths advertise twenty-four hours and divert the overnight calls to an answering service that books you in for the morning. We run the other way round: the night shift is the core of what we do, and it is priced the same as daylight.

What gets asked at three in the morning
Yes, and a locksmith picks up rather than a booking service. If we cannot reach you in a reasonable time we will say so straight away instead of taking the job.
No. The quote at 3am is the quote you would get at 3pm. That is the whole point of how we are set up.
Ring us now. We secure the opening tonight and photograph everything first. Proper repairs follow once your insurer has looked at it.
A long way. The roads are clear after midnight, so most of Brisbane is reachable in well under an hour from Tingalpa.
Yes. Rekeying takes a few minutes per cylinder and means every existing key stops working immediately.
Photo ID matching the address, or ID plus proof of ownership for a vehicle. We ask everyone, at any hour, without exception.
It is the middle of the night and the door is shut.
Ring the number. A locksmith answers, gives you a price and an arrival time, and starts driving.
