Local to Zetland
Your Local Locksmith in Zetland
Zetland is one of Sydney’s densest apartment neighbourhoods, between the Green Square town centre, East Village, and Victoria Park. Most of the buildings here went up in the last twenty years, so the locks we see are modern: apartment entrance sets, deadbolts on unit doors, and electronic entry on the main lobbies.
Because we work in the area every day, we know the buildings along Joynton Avenue, Defries Avenue, and Ebsworth Street well, including how their car park and lobby access works. That local knowledge saves time on a lockout. It also means we’re often the locksmith strata managers call when a common area lock fails.

FAQs
Zetland Locksmith FAQs
How fast can you get to me in Zetland?
Typically within 15 to 30 minutes, day or night, depending on traffic and the time of day.
Can you rekey my apartment after I buy it?
Yes, and we recommend it. Previous owners, tenants, agents, and tradespeople may all still have keys. Rekeying changes the inside of the existing lock so old keys stop working, and it costs less than replacing the lock. We cut new keys for you on the spot.
Do you replace mailbox locks in Zetland apartment buildings?
Yes. We replace individual mailbox locks and can match your building’s strata key system where one is in place. It’s a quick job, usually done in a single visit.
What do you charge for a lockout in Zetland?
We give you a fixed price on the phone before we come out. Prices are higher late at night and on public holidays, and we tell you that upfront.
Will you damage my apartment door?
In most cases, no. We pick or bypass the lock rather than drilling, so the door, the frame and the building’s hardware stay intact. If a faulty lock can’t be opened any other way, we explain why and give you the price before we start.
Are you a licensed locksmith?
Yes. Rapid Key Locksmith holds NSW Master Licence 000110647, which you can check on the NSW Police security licence register.
Can you cut spare keys for my unit?
Yes. Our van carries a key cutting machine, so we can cut standard keys on the spot. Restricted keys that belong to a strata key system need written approval from your building manager first.
Do you work weekends and public holidays?
Yes. We’re open 24/7, 7 days a week, including public holidays.
