The story
It started with the work.
1998The year Michael Manning began his locksmithing career
A practical locksmithing foundation, developed across homes, businesses, vehicles, safes and electronic locking.
Michael Manning began his locksmithing career in 1998 with Frank O’Neill Locksmith on Bundall Road. His early work included everyday residential and commercial locksmithing alongside high-security safe work for banks and government departments, automotive locks and emerging electronic locking systems.
After completing his apprenticeship, Michael worked for a locksmith company in Tweed Heads, serving customers across South East Queensland and Northern New South Wales. That combination of workshop knowledge and mobile field work shaped the straightforward, hands-on approach Imperial Locksmiths still brings to each job.
Michael established Imperial Locksmiths in 2004. Today the business provides mobile locksmith and security services across the Gold Coast, including lock work, supported late-model car key services, safe work, CCTV, access control and intercom systems.
