→After you are back inside
Getting in is only the first step. Secure the property after the cause is known.

Home lockout FAQs
A clear process when you are stuck outside.
Tell us the address, what happened to the keys and whether anyone has an immediate safety concern. For an immediate life-safety emergency, contact emergency services first.
Can you help if my keys are locked inside the house?
Yes. Keys locked inside are a common home-lockout call. After confirming you are authorised to access the property, a locksmith can assess the door and lock and work toward suitable entry.
Can you get me back in without unnecessary damage?
We assess the door, lock and cause of the lockout and use an appropriate professional approach. Damage-minimising entry is used wherever conditions allow, but the suitable approach depends on the hardware and fault.
How quickly can a locksmith attend?
We are fully mobile across the Gold Coast. Arrival time depends on your location, traffic and current jobs, and urgent lockouts are prioritised where practical.
Do I need identification or proof I can enter?
Yes. For security, we may ask for photo identification, proof of address or another reasonable confirmation that you are authorised to access the property. If your ID is inside, explain this when you call.
Should I rekey the locks after losing keys?
Rekeying is often worth considering after keys are lost or stolen because it prevents the old key from operating the locks. We can assess the existing cylinders and explain suitable options.
