Inside the lock
Why keys sometimes stop working
Most household locks are pin-tumbler cylinders. Wear, dirt or a bent key can leave pins misaligned — sometimes a service or rekey fixes it, sometimes replacement is the sensible call.
Pins bound at the shear line — plug locked
Schematic of a pin-tumbler cylinder — the mechanism behind most household locks. When the wrong key lifts pins to the wrong heights, the plug stays put.

Questions
Asked often, answered honestly
What does a locksmith do?
A locksmith works with locks, keys and door hardware: gaining entry when you are locked out, repairing or replacing faulty locks, rekeying, fitting new locks and advising on practical security improvements.
What should I do if I am locked out?
Call 02 5023 1337 during operating hours. Tell us where you are and what is happening at the door.
Do I need to prove I own or live at the property?
Yes. Before opening a door we ask for reasonable proof that you live at or manage the property, such as a licence, lease, bill or confirmation from the building manager. If your ID is inside, we check it once the door is open.
7:00 AM — 12:00 AM · 7 days
Locked out, or the lock has given up?
