Soft metal loops are not key rings – Fairfield Lockout
We attended a callout to an emergency lockout in Fairfield this week. The cause? A dodgy keyring with too many keys on it. Our new client had come home after being out all day, pulled out his keys to open the front door only to realise he was missing several keys off his key ring. […]
A quick lock change – ex on his way to Burwood
We took a call recently from a pretty frantic young lady who made it clear she needed locksmith at her house in Burwood within 20 minutes due to a lockout emergency. She didn’t clarify why on the phone but she seemed scared and sincere so we scrambled a van to her lickety split. I had […]
Locksmith locked out of Car – Malvern
This story shows that even locksmiths can get themselves in a spot of bother. We had a new apprentice start with us in 2014. Nice young bloke, eager to learn, always on time and keen to get into it. The sort of kid you hope to get and then you hope he can maintain the […]

Auto Electrician in Carlton? No just Toplock to the rescue
This wasn’t a job went top where Toplock was called out to help…. This was more a case of the job itself calling out to us. One of the Toplock guys heard a car alarm going off near his home in Carlton and he did what most people do when they hear a car alarm. […]
Locked out in St Kilda – a self closing / locking Security Door.
I turned up to a property in St Kilda late at night last week and though it was not quite as secure as your average crack dealer’s home in downtown LA… security was tight. Obvious surveillance system, well secured doors and windows – I was surprised and more than a little impressed. St Kilda properties […]
