Meet insurance and compliance requirements

Id bought an antique jewellery box not realising it had no key. Locked my bling in and myself out. The staff took the lock on as a new challenge and successfully opened the box despite being a mechanism they had not been familiar with. Nevermind that I locked it again immediately after. Thanks guys. Five Stars

Our rear door lock has been failing. Eric of Amalgamated Locksmiths on Smith Street, Collingwood, came the same day that I phone, and he diagnosed the problem and fixed it, quite thoroughly and courteously. I heartily and gratefully recommend Eric, and therefore probably the whole of Amalgamated Locksmiths. Cheers, Chip Kaufman, North Fitzroy VIC

Response from the owner:Thanks Chip for your 5 star review, We are happy to hear you had a great experience with our team. We appreciate your support and hope that you will use our services again in the future

Today I received excellent customer service from David and the team at Amalgamated Locksmiths in Collingwood. I had spoken with David on the phone last week and he was patient while I spent time explaning my problem, and informative about my how they could help. Today was exceptionally accommodating and patient again (even though I arrived right on clising time). His attitude is one of 'can do' not at all 'too hard' or you're asking too much'. This sort of attention, and willingness to work with someone on their challege, is exceptional, and despite there being a locksmith in my own neighbourhood (who was completely closed to the possibility of something out of the ordinary) I will definitely be using, and also highly recommending, Amalgamated in Collingwood for any future locksmith needs. Big thanks!

Response from the owner:Thanks Robyn for your 5 star review, we are happy to hear you had great a great experience with David, as a small business we appreciate your support and hope you will recommend us to your family and friends

Fixed my old car key same-day, and even when he could have made a duplicate of the old, worn key, he instead went the extra distance and properly made a good-as-knew replacement. Even included the diagram on a piece of paper for if I need to make another at any point. Fantastic service all up, can recommend

Very friendly service and didn't charge me when they weren't confident if replacing the battery in my key fob would work because it was damaged! (If you're reading this - no it didn't work haha) Thanks for your help and I will recommend you to anyone 😊

I contacted a few locksmith companies, and this team was by far the most approachable. The admin staff answered all my questions clearly, explained my options without any judgement, and were transparent and fair with pricing. The technician on the day was friendly, professional, and communicated everything thoroughly while working efficiently. Overall, everything went smoothly from start to finish. I’d highly recommend them to anyone needing a reliable locksmith.

Locked myself out on a Friday night. I've heard so many horror stories of dodgy emergency locksmiths, I was really dreading the experience. Thankfully these guys are legit. Quote over the phone was accurate, he came when he said he would, was friendly and professional. Couldn't have asked for better service.

Response from the owner:Thanks Liam for your 5 star review, we are glad that David could help you you out, we appreciate your support and look forward to serving you again in the future

Front Door Lock FAQs

What is the best type of front door lock?

Can I replace my door lock front without replacing the door?

In most cases, yes. Many front door locks can be replaced or upgraded without changing the door itself. Compatibility depends on the door material and existing lock.

Do front door locks need to meet insurance requirements?

Some insurance policies require specific locks, such as deadlocks, on front doors. Installing compliant door locks for front door use helps ensure your cover remains valid.

Are smart door locks safe for front doors?

Yes. Quality smart locks are designed for front door use and meet Australian security standards. Many include backup key access and advanced security features.

How much does front door lock installation cost in Melbourne?

Costs vary depending on the type of lock and installation complexity. We provide clear, upfront pricing before starting any work.
