Question 1

Do locksmiths in Mandurah charge a call-out fee?

Accepted Answer

Only 21% of Mandurah's 14 locksmiths openly list call-out fees, so you'll need to ask upfront. All Star Lock & Key provides upfront pricing over the phone before work begins with no hidden fees. Seaside Lock & Safe Services offers transparent pricing and gives 50% off the total cost if they don't arrive within one hour for emergency jobs. Always confirm call-out charges and travel costs before booking, especially for after-hours work.

Question 2

How do I check if a locksmith in Mandurah is legit?

Accepted Answer

Every locksmith in Western Australia must hold a Security Agent Licence issued by WA Police under the Security and Related Activities (Control) Act 1996. Ask to see their licence number before hiring. All 14 Mandurah providers have websites where credentials should be displayed. Check reviews too—Carney's Locksmiths (5.0★, 156 reviews), Mandurah Lock Service (5.0★, 153 reviews), and Metropolitan Lock Service (5.0★, 119 reviews) are well-established locals.

Question 3

What proof do I need to provide a locksmith in Mandurah?

Accepted Answer

Expect to show photo ID matching the property address—driver's licence or rates notice typically suffice. For rental properties, bring your lease agreement. Locksmiths won't open doors without proof of ownership or occupancy to prevent assisting break-ins. If you're locked out of your car, registration papers or insurance documents help. Legitimate locksmiths take these checks seriously—it's a legal requirement under their Security Agent Licence, not just company policy.

Question 4

How much do emergency locksmiths charge in Mandurah after hours?

Accepted Answer

After-hours rates vary significantly. All Star Lock & Key notes pricing depends on job type, locks involved, and whether it's during normal or after-hours work. Seaside Lock & Safe Services offers pensioners 10% off service calls and guarantees arrival within one hour for emergencies or you get 50% off. With 86% of Mandurah's locksmiths offering 24/7 service, shop around for quotes. Mobile Locksmiths W.A. provides no-obligation quotes you can compare.

Question 5

How long does it take a locksmith to unlock a door in Mandurah?

Accepted Answer

Most locksmiths unlock standard residential doors in 5–15 minutes once on-site. Travel time matters more—Seaside Lock & Safe Services promises arrival within one hour for emergencies. Mandurah's compact layout helps; most of the 14 local providers can reach properties along Old Coast Road or east toward Greenfields within 20–30 minutes. High-security locks or safes take longer. The average 4.9★ rating across all providers suggests reliable, efficient service once they arrive.
