How Much Does Locksmith Cost in Australia?

As a general guide, not a quote, locksmith services in Australia typically cost $70–$180 per hour. The range is per hour, in business hours; call-out fees are extra and higher after hours. On Mozome, providers set their own prices, and you see the price of a service before you book.

What you pay depends mostly on the type of job: a lockout, new locks, rekeying or spare keys; the number of locks or keys; the type of lock, and whether the provider supplies it; urgent bookings, if the provider prices them differently; and any call-out or minimum charge the provider has.

Verified providers are marked as verified, and providers who haven’t been verified yet are listed too, so look for the marking when you compare. Ratings and reviews come from completed bookings. In some states, locksmiths and security installers need a licence: ask the provider whether they hold one, and check it with the state or territory that issued it. Before you book, check what the price includes.

At least 24 hours, unless you mark the booking as urgent. If the provider doesn’t respond to your booking in time, the booking is cancelled and you get a full refund.

Mozome charges providers no commission on their job price. When you book, Mozome adds a booking fee of 5% of the job price (at least $2 and never more than $25), shown before you pay.
