Five core disciplines, one tradesman. Every service below is carried out by Jacob using the right tool for the job — no call-centre, no subcontracting to strangers.
Re-keying when you move in or out, deadbolt and lockset installation, security door hardware, and keyed-alike solutions so one key opens every door.
Master key systems, restricted key systems, exit and egress hardware, and lock upgrades that keep your premises compliant and your staff secure.
Transponder and remote keys, spare key cutting, and emergency vehicle entry — covering most common makes without damaging your vehicle.
Safe supply, installation, combination changes, lockouts and lock servicing for home and business safes, including key and combination locks.
Lockouts, break-in repairs, and lock replacements across The Gap and surrounding suburbs. Fast, local dispatch with a clear quote before work starts.
Describe the lock or key over the phone and Jacob will tell you what's involved before any work starts.

When you move into a new home, the cylinder usually doesn't need replacing — only the pins. Re-keying swaps the internal pin stack to a new key, keeps your existing hardware, and is typically a fraction of the cost of new locks.
A deadbolt is only as strong as the strike plate holding it. On timber frames we fit longer screws into the wall stud and reinforce the plate — the difference between a lock that resists a kick and one that doesn't.
A restricted system means keys can't be copied without your written authority. For a small business it's a simple way to stay in control of who has access, long after a former staff member has handed back their key.
Based at 996 Waterworks Road, Jacob attends callouts across the suburbs below. Being local means short drive times — and a tradesman who actually knows the area.
Jacob is based in The Gap and services Brisbane's western suburbs, including Ashgrove, Bardon, Keperra, Enoggera, Paddington, Red Hill, Mount Coot-tha and Toowong. If you're nearby and unsure, call and we'll confirm whether we can attend.
Yes. For non-emergency work we provide a written quote up front. For callouts we give you a clear indication of cost over the phone before attending, and confirm the price on arrival before any work begins.
In most cases, yes. Re-keying changes the internal pins so your old keys no longer work, while keeping your existing hardware — usually a faster and more affordable option than full replacement.

Call and we'll dispatch to your location. We carry equipment for non-destructive entry on most common makes, and can cut and program transponder keys on site where the vehicle supports it.
