BULLEEN · OPEN 24 HOURS
Lost keys and replacement keys in Bulleen
Mortice locks and old Italian-fitted hardware often have no matching blank on the shelf. We decode the lock and cut a key that works, rather than telling you the whole thing has to go.
What this looks like on the day
Bulleen runs along the Yarra flats, and much of the housing is 1960s and 70s brick veneer on wide blocks, with a newer band of townhouses closer to Bulleen Road. Older aluminium sliding doors and original deadlatches are the common call here.
- Mortice and old European locks decoded
- Keys cut to the lock, not to a worn copy
- Blanks carried for hardware the shops no longer stock
What happens when you call
You are told when, honestly
The arrival window comes from where the van is right now. If it slips you get a call, not silence.
Quoted once, charged once
You hear the price on the phone and again before any tool comes out. It is the same number on the invoice.
The lock survives the job
Picks and bypass first, every time. Nothing gets drilled without you agreeing to it and knowing the replacement cost.
No middle man
The person who takes your call is the person who arrives. Nothing is passed to whichever contractor happens to be free.
Other things we do in Bulleen
House lockouts
A lot of Bulleen front doors are solid timber in double brick, hung heavy and fitted with a mortice lock that has never been touched. They open on picks; forcing them damages the jamb, not the lock.

Car lockouts
Locked out in the Bulleen Plaza car park or on a driveway in Templestowe Road. We open the door with automotive tools and check whether your remote battery is the real problem.

Rekeying
Rekeying suits Bulleen homes because the hardware here is usually worth keeping. We change what the key turns and leave the brass and the timber exactly as they are.
Rekeying and lock changes →
Break-in repairs
Roller shutter forced, side gate lock cut, laundry door popped. We get the house closed and locked the same visit and list what a carpenter needs to look at.

Security upgrades
Double brick gives you a solid frame to work with, which means a proper mortice deadlock actually holds. Worth doing on the front and the back door together.
