From family heirlooms to heritage property door fittings, we’ve restored everything from 18th-century door locks to ornate jewellery box keys. Phil Smith, our owner and master locksmith, is known for treating every piece with care, skill, and respect for its history. Clients tell us the stories behind their locks - some have been in families for generations, others are found at markets or when renovating old homes.

Our workshop in Sydney’s north is set up to repair, refurbish, and even remake missing keys for these treasures. No matter where you are in Australia, you can send us your antique lock for assessment on repair, restoration or keymaking.

Of course, we’re still Sydney's go-to for fast local lock repairs, rekeying, smart locks, and safes. But if you have an old lock with a story to tell, Phil is the locksmith that both locals and collectors all over Australia trust.
