Emergency locksmiths in Perth

20 Perth locksmiths that say they take emergency callouts, for being locked out, a key snapped in the lock, a lock that has failed, or securing a door after a break-in.

Do this first

Before anyone arrives, and before you agree to a callout fee.

  1. 1Check every other door and window first. It is not embarrassing, and it is free.
  2. 2If a key has snapped in the lock, stop trying to extract it — pushing the fragment deeper turns a cheap job into a replacement.
  3. 3If it is a break-in, ring the police before anything is touched or repaired. You will need the report number for insurance.
  4. 4Get a firm price on the phone before anyone is dispatched. Lockout work is where quote-on-arrival pricing causes the most disputes of any trade on this site.
  5. 5Have identification and proof you live there ready. A locksmith who does not ask for it is one to be wary of.

If anyone is in danger, ring 000. For a gas leak ring 132 771. For a fallen powerline, stay at least eight metres away and ring your electricity distributor — not a tradesperson.

20 of 42 locksmiths listed in Perth, Western Australia state that they offer emergency or after-hours callouts. This is what each business publishes about itself and has not been independently verified — WhoToHire does not check response times or confirm that anyone is available at a given hour. The businesses are ordered by independent evidence: corroboration across sources, agreement between the listed phone number and the number on the business's own website, website reachability and review history. Nobody pays for a position. Before ringing, ask about the callout fee, the after-hours loading, and how long until someone is actually on site.

What “emergency” means on this page

These 20 businesses publish that they take emergency callouts. We have not verified that. Unlike the ABN, contact-accuracy and website checks — which we run ourselves and publish the results of either way — availability is a claim, and nobody has rung these numbers at 3am to test it. Expect to try more than one.

Ask these on the phone

Emergency work is where quote-on-arrival pricing causes the most disputes. Two minutes of questions before anyone is dispatched prevents nearly all of them.

  • What is the total price to get me in, including the callout?
  • Is that price fixed, or an estimate that can change when you arrive?
  • Will the lock be damaged, and is replacement included in that figure?
  • How long until you are here?

Common questions

How many Perth locksmiths offer emergency callouts?

What should I do before locksmith arrives?
Check every other door and window first. It is not embarrassing, and it is free. If a key has snapped in the lock, stop trying to extract it — pushing the fragment deeper turns a cheap job into a replacement. If it is a break-in, ring the police before anything is touched or repaired. You will need the report number for insurance.
What should I ask when I ring?
What is the total price to get me in, including the callout? Is that price fixed, or an estimate that can change when you arrive? Will the lock be damaged, and is replacement included in that figure? Getting the callout fee and the after-hours loading agreed on the phone is the single most effective thing you can do to avoid a dispute afterwards.
Does anyone pay to appear on this list?

Not actually an emergency?

If it can wait until business hours, it is worth waiting. Emergency callouts carry after-hours loadings, and the full Perth list is 42 businesses rather than 20 — a much better field to choose from.
