When it comes to keeping your home or business secure, not all locksmiths are created equal. While many offer a wide range of services—dabbling in everything from automotive locksmithing to electronic access control—Malvern Lock Service takes a different approach.
We specialise in fixing and rekeying locks, and we’ve been doing it with precision and care for over 25 years. Based in Melbourne and trusted by homeowners, real estate agents, property managers, and business owners across Malvern, Brighton, Toorak, Ashburton, and beyond, we focus on what we do best—locks.
In this article, we’ll explain why our expertise in rekeying and fixing locks sets us apart from generalist locksmiths, why that matters for your security, and how choosing a specialist can save you time, money, and hassle.
In any trade, specialists outperform generalists, and locksmithing is no exception. At Malvern Lock Service, we’ve focused on lock repair, lock replacement, and rekeying services, allowing us to become true experts in these critical areas of home and business security.
Rather than stretching ourselves thin across a dozen different services, we’ve spent years honing our knowledge of lock mechanisms, key systems, and hardware brands. We understand the small details that general locksmiths may overlook.
If it involves a lock on a door or window—we fix it, rekey it, or replace it. And we do it better than anyone else.
We’re not new to this. With decades of experience servicing properties across Melbourne’s south-east, our team has seen every kind of lock issue imaginable—from worn-out deadbolts and seized-up cylinders to complex rekeying jobs involving multiple entry points.
Whether you're:
we understand your needs and know how to deliver long-lasting solutions that protect your property and bring peace of mind.
Unlike many locksmiths who juggle car lockouts, safes, and digital systems, we don’t touch automotive work. Why? Because we believe that being the best in one field is better than being average in many.
This means:
You might think the only way to improve your security is to buy a whole new lock system—but that’s not always the case. In many situations, rekeying or repairing an existing lock is faster, more affordable, and just as secure.
Rekeying means we alter the lock mechanism so that old keys no longer work, and a new set of keys is issued—without replacing the whole lock.
This is perfect if you:
It’s a simple, cost-effective way to regain control over who can access your property.
Not every faulty lock needs replacing. Many issues—such as sticking, jamming, or difficulty turning the key—can be resolved by a trained locksmith who understands internal lock components.
At Malvern Lock Service, we:
We aim to fix, not just replace. That’s better for your budget and the environment.
Here are just a few examples of how we help clients every day:
Just moved in? You have no idea how many copies of your keys are floating around. We can quickly rekey every lock in the house, giving you full control of your access points with a single master key.
Staff turnover is common in small businesses. If an employee leaves and doesn’t return their keys, we can rekey your entry points without disrupting your business operations. We can even set up master key systems for different access levels.
Managing multiple properties? We partner with agencies across Malvern, Brighton and surrounds to handle lock rekeying, repairs and lock changes between tenancies—fast, reliable and always professional.
Is your front door hard to lock? Does the key jiggle or get stuck? We can repair or replace old, worn, or damaged locks to improve your safety and convenience—often without needing brand-new hardware.
Our long-standing customers value our reliability, professionalism, and honesty. That’s why we consistently receive top-rated reviews. We show up on time, communicate clearly, and do the job right the first time.
We’re proud members of the Master Locksmiths Association of Australasia (MLAA). This means we’re fully qualified, insured, and committed to the highest standards of locksmithing.
We service Malvern, Brighton, Toorak, Ashburton, Camberwell, Armadale, and surrounding suburbs. Our mobile locksmith vans are fully equipped and ready to respond quickly—so you’re never left waiting.
We’re not salespeople. We’ll always give you honest advice on whether a lock can be repaired, rekeyed, or replaced—and we won’t upsell you on products you don’t need.
Rekeying keeps your existing lock hardware but changes the internal mechanism so that it works with a new key. Replacing a lock involves removing the entire hardware and installing a new one. Rekeying is often faster and more affordable.
Absolutely. In most cases, we can rekey your locks to use a single key—as long as the locks are compatible. It’s a convenient way to simplify your keychain and improve access control.
Most rekeying and repair jobs take under an hour, depending on how many locks you have and their condition. We provide fast, efficient service to minimise disruption.
We work with deadbolts, knob sets, lever sets, mortice locks, window locks, and more. We stock trusted brands like Lockwood, Gainsborough, Whitco, and others.
If you're looking for an expert team that specialises in fixing and rekeying locks, look no further than Malvern Lock Service. We’re not just another locksmith company—we’re lock specialists who take pride in our craftsmanship, integrity, and customer service.
Whether you're in Malvern, Brighton, Toorak, Armadale, Ashburton, or a nearby suburb, we’re ready to help secure your property with professional, affordable locksmithing.
