Security Keys For Your Business – Restricted Keys
We are the experts in high security restricted key systems. A restricted key is a key that is installed and registered by a locksmith. Furthermore, restricted keys cannot be duplicated by other locksmiths.
This is why many businesses and commercial properties opt for restricted keys to add an extra level of security. They are easy to use and require minimum maintenance. Essentially, they allow business owners and managers to control access to certain areas of their commercial premises. Plus, they can also be retrofitted.

One Key To Open Many Locks – Keying Alike
If you like the idea of having just one key to open all the different locks in your home or business, you should consider “keying alike”. This clever technology means that we can rekey all your locks so that they can be opened with just one key.
This is easy and convenient for you because you can use just one key to open your front door, your back door and even your screen doors.

Came in to get a key cut for a old motorbike model. First key didnt work, came back and the older gentleman cut another key, free of charge. New key works perfectly, and most importantly, didnt have to pay a exorbitant price.

Amalgamated Locksmiths have always been prompt, expert and highly competent and professional in their dealings with me for various window and door lock situations, and even a car key lock once when I was randomly stranded outside their premises. This has been ongoing over about the last 20 years. I have no hesitation in commending them, nor in immediately going to them should there be another lock event. Malcolm

Amalgamated Locksmiths we’re recommended by a friend and they lived up to expectations. They scheduled the work for the next day and kept us informed of their ETA. The young technician was great - courteous, efficient, effective and unobtrusive. He even adjusted and serviced locks which were not closing properly. All for a very reasonable price. Thanks guys and will see you next time.

Excellent service. They were unable to cut my key due to not having the blanks as it was VERY OLD. They asked me to send photos of my locks and then researched to find someone that had the blanks. Amazing effort even though they were sending my business somewhere else. My first port of call next time!

We had a security event at our which needed immediate responseI contacted David at Amalgamated Locksmiths, who was able to attend on the same day to provide a quote.He provided some great advice on how to address our security issues.It took a couple of days for the materials to be delivered, with COVID restrictions, and then David had the install done within 1 week. We appreciated the prompt response.There was some special fittings that needed to be hand made for our old windows. David went to a lot of trouble to get a good result, even matching the colour of the windows.We are very happy with the outcome from Amalgamated Locksmiths, and recommend them without reservation.

I needed a keyed lock on side gate. Amalgamated locksmiths were very helpful & came out the same day to give a no obligations quote. We were able to talk through a few options. The lock was ordered & fitted within a few days as needed to secure gate before going on holiday. The gate was warped so needed some work to fit lock at no extra cost. This company were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Professional, helpful & courteous. Good communication & fair priced. Highly recommend.

This is the second time (March 2019) I seeked the help of the team who again demonstrated high efficiency and professionalism. Many thanks to Eric who promptly organized the job and Eoin found out the lock was just clotted and he cleaned and hence revitalized it. Another company told me to replace the lock and gave me a quote of hundreds of dollars!Amalgamated Locksmiths is really honest, reliable and the best! I am more than happy to give them 5 stars again.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Recently we have our locks repaired, replaced and rekeyed. Reagan of this company is very knowlegeable and professional and has done a great job for us. He provided us with clear and helpful advices, and a service with high efficiency and excellent workmanship. The other team members are also very helpful and polite.

SCAMMERS!!! I Had Amalgamated out to my shop twice within 3 months to fix a front door lock barrel. Both times i was told i had to replace the whole door if i wanted to replace the lock. They charged me $250 to "service" it. It then broke again so i decided to go with a different company, they replaced the lock barrels and gave me two new keys for $225.........would not use!!!

I am not happy with the miscommunication that I have received from the management. I offered to pay in advance but the manager was being abrupt and very difficult, I felt like she was discriminating against me because of my financial suituation. I offered to pay in advance and if the job is more than I could have paid the rest on the day, business is all about being flexible I am an honest customer and the manager made me feel like a criminal over the phone. I am sorry for being upset but I was just trying to do the right thing, very very disappointing! I was not trying to do anything shifty or anything but the way I was spoken to was very unfair and there was no room for negotiation, not very good. Other people have asked me in the past where they can find a good locksmith I said I do not know, now I definitely know not to recommend people to your business. I am very, very, sorry to have taken up your time.
