Footscray gets broken into more than most suburbs.

Crime Statistics Agency figures show 431 burglary and break-in offences recorded in Footscray in 2025. Most homes here are older weatherboards and units with original locks, and plenty of rentals have changed hands many times without a rekey.

The fixes are simple: a deadbolt on the front and back doors, keyed window locks on anything reachable from the ground, and new keys whenever someone moves out. Lockouts are $145 all up, the same as Geelong.

  • Deadbolts and deadlocks

    Keyed or keypad, thumb-turn inside, fitted square to the frame.

  • Rekeying after a move

    Old keys stop working, the locks stay. Every door on one key.

  • Lockouts, day and night

    $145 all up, with the price confirmed on the phone first.

  • Window and sliding door locks

    Keyed window locks and patio bolts on the windows that matter.

Reviewed on Airtasker after the job.

Alexis was absolutely fantastic. He came out late at night to change my front door knob and lock, arrived on time, and was really fair with his pricing… I really appreciated how professional and reassuring he was, especially for an after-hours job.

Questions we get asked

Do you come out to Footscray?
Yes. We work across the inner west most weeks, with recent jobs in Maribyrnong and West Footscray. Ring us and we’ll give you an honest arrival time before you commit.
How much is a lockout in Footscray?
$145 all up for a standard house lockout, any hour, with no travel charge. That includes the call-out, travel, time and GST.
Is there a travel charge for other work?
Lock changes, rekeys, deadbolts and fitting work in the inner west carry a flat $40 travel charge, included in the price you get before we start.
We just moved into a Footscray rental. Can we change the locks?
You need your rental provider’s consent to change a lock in Victoria, and they can’t unreasonably refuse. We can send a written quote for your agent. A rekey is usually the cheapest option: the old keys stop working and the locks stay.
Our housemate moved out and kept a key. What do we do?
Get the locks rekeyed. Unit or townhouse up to 2 locks is $179, a house up to 4 locks is $269, with 2 new keys, plus the $40 inner west travel. Check with your agent first if you rent.
What’s the best way to secure a Footscray house?
Start with the doors: a deadbolt on the front and back, a working deadlatch, and keyed locks on any window you can reach from the ground. Text us photos and we’ll tell you what’s worth doing first.

Not urgent?

Send us the details and we’ll come back with a price.

If you’re locked out right now, ring us instead. That’s always faster. For everything else, this gets you a number without a phone call.

A clear photo of the lock usually means a firm price instead of a range. Up to 8 MB.

We answer these ourselves, usually the same day. Nothing goes to a call centre and nobody else gets your number.

Would rather talk? Call 0415 395 981, send a text or message us on WhatsApp. A photo of the door usually means we can give you a firm price rather than a range.
