Is it a locksmith's job? Check this first

  • Someone locked in who can't get out, or a child or pet locked in a car in the heat: call 000 first; a locksmith is for when nobody is in danger.
  • Storm or flood damage: VICSES on 132 500 (source), and 000 if anyone is in danger.

Before you say yes to CNS Locksmiths

  • Ask them this: Confirm the attendance fee and what it covers after hours, what identification they will ask you for, and whether the lock will be opened, rekeyed or replaced.
  • 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 get the price for each.
  • Keep the paperwork: the invoice, the certificate and any photos, for the insurer, the landlord or the next tradie. Paying a tradie.
