Before you say yes to an emergency call-out

  • Ask for the call-out fee and what it covers: after-hours rates, travel and the first half hour are often charged separately from the repair.
  • Check the licence: a locksmith who installs or services security equipment needs a Victorian private security licence; ask what they hold. Look them up on Victoria Police's register of private security licence and registration holders. How to check a licence.
  • Agree the scope: a make-safe visit tonight and the full repair later are often two jobs. Ask which you're getting, and the price of each.

How we list businesses: each one's own website advertises emergency or after-hours work and names Clayton or the south-east as an area it covers. We link to that page, and to its published licence or registration where there is one. Nobody here has paid to be listed, and listing isn't an endorsement. Businesses can claim their listing to correct it and add a phone number; claimed listings appear first. Checked 31 October 2026. Clayton is in the City of Monash.
