Locked out at closing time? We are awake when the Valley is — (07) 3106 1855
The Valley does not sleep and neither does the phone.
Trinity Street puts us minutes from Brunswick Street Mall, the James Street end and the Bowen Hills flats. One price on the phone, and the locksmith who quotes it is the one who turns up.

Six calls that define a Valley week
Apartments above the strip, venues on Brunswick Street, and the car parks underneath both of them.
Apartment lockouts
Your own door, opened by pick or bypass so nothing needs replacing. If the lobby or a fob is the problem, that is the building manager, and we will tell you what to ask for.
Venue and bar call-outs
Roller shutters, glass door patch locks, hook bolts and back-of-house doors. We work around trade, not through it, and we come at 4am if that is when the door is free.
Car lockouts and basements
Street parking, the Wickham Street decks, or a basement with no reception. Air wedge and long reach tools, and replacement keys cut and programmed on site.
Lost keys and rekeying
Cut to the lock on site, or the barrel rekeyed so the lost key is dead everywhere. If the key went missing in a venue, rekey. It is a busy street.
Restricted key systems
For venues and offices where too many keys are already out. Copies only on your written authority, with a register of who holds what.
Break-in and damage repairs
Shopfronts, roller doors, jambs and strikers made secure immediately, photographed first, then repaired properly once your insurer has seen them.
A suburb that empties at 4am and fills again at 9 needs a locksmith who works both shifts.
Most of our Valley work happens in two windows: very late, when somebody is locked out of a flat above a bar, and very early, when a venue needs a door fixed before it opens. We staff for both.
- A locksmith answers the phone, not a call centre
- Work scheduled around trading hours
- Roller shutters and shopfront hardware stocked
- Basement and secure car park access understood
- Restricted keys for venues with too many copies out
- One quoted price, whatever the hour
The Valley and everything within a few minutes of it.
Trinity Street is central enough that most of these are inside fifteen minutes even at 2am.

What gets asked on Brunswick Street at 3am
Yes, and a locksmith answers rather than an answering service. If we cannot get to you we will say so immediately instead of taking the booking.
That is a normal Tuesday for us. We open your unit door. If you cannot get into the building at all, ring anyway and we will talk you through the quickest option.
Usually yes. Tell us what it is doing and we will quote it and book a time before trade.
No. The quote at 3am is the same as the quote at 3pm.
Rekey now and move to a restricted system after. Restricted keys can only be cut on your authority, which ends the problem rather than resetting it.
Photo ID matching the address, or for a car, ID and proof of ownership. We ask everybody.
