Lock, Smith and Barrel

Lock, Smith and Barrel draws consistent praise from Melbourne customers for responsive, dependable locksmith work, with Jon named repeatedly as the driving force behind that reputation. Reviewers describe emergency call-outs handled at any hour, including late nights and public holidays, with arrival often inside half an hour and the job completed soon after. Quotes given upfront and honoured without hidden extras come up often, and the pricing is described as reasonable for the time and complexity involved.

Several customers highlight rekeying of doors and window locks, including windows that had no existing keys, along with replacement of faulty door handles and lock mechanisms, and the crafting of keys for a stubborn toolbox lock that other locksmiths had declined. Ken is noted for thoroughness, punctuality and skill, Luis for knowledge and speed on an apartment lock, and the team generally for patience with questions and a calm manner during stressful break-ins. Tidiness and pride in the finished work feature in accounts, as does continuing service to an apartment complex. The recurring theme is trustworthiness under pressure.

Jon is an absolute legend! Went above and beyond for a 5am call out. I saw a tradesman who has pride in his work, and is positively motivated to truly help . Thank you to infinity and beyond!

Jon (the owner) picked up my call on a public holiday charged me exactly as per what he has quoted, very reasonable price and dependable services from these blokes. 5/5 Special shoutout to Luis who is very nice and knowledgeable, fixed and changed the lock mechanism on my apartment door in a jiffy.

Nook was fantastic. Our old front door had moved a lot & he fixed it promptly, cleaned up, and for a great price. Thank you!

Highly recommend Jon. I locked myself out on a public holiday, and called many other locksmiths who were unavailable. I eventually found Lock, Smith and Barrel and spoke to Jon, who was transparent on pricing (sent via text) and was able to attend quickly. He also managed to open the door in no time at all. Jon was very friendly and understanding. Thank you Jon!

The wife went in to see if they can help with keying an old toolbox lock that i didnt have keys for and i couldnt find any replacement locks to suit at all. other locksmiths really weren't interested and shrugged the job off immediately. the guys at lock, smith and barrel went above and beyond and made 2 keys for the lock for a very very reasonable cost considering they needed to take it apart and the fact the lock itself isnt australian standard and very uncommon to begin with. zero replacement parts are available anywhere in the world as far as i can tell. the wife mentioned they discounted the price because they weren't 100% happy with the lock and keys function due to the specific key size and design needed. i can tell you the lock and key works fine im not having any issues with it. so thanks guys will keep your card for any future lock and key issues you will be the call.

Super efficient and easy to book. Their prices were clear and transparent and fair from the beginning, and their staff were pleasant to deal with. Highly recommend!

We are so happy with Lock, Smith and Barrel as preferred suppliers to our apartment complex. Jon and the team are great to deal with and always attend as soon as they can.
