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 […]
Campbellfield “burglary” – maybe an inside job?
We got a call out last week to Campbellfield – the caller was a little concerned we did not cover this area as it wasn’t on our list of suburbs. Well.. it is now, and yes we do cover it. Apart from having locksmiths on standby at our inner city and Northcote bases, we have […]

When we are called to a lockout all our locksmiths know that they are very likely to find a distressed person who is in quite a state. The lockout may have resulted in the person being late for an appointment, groceries that needed to be in the freezer may well be melting in a locked […]
Locked out three times in 2 days in Carlton
The vast technological gap that exists between South Korea and Australia led to a funny series of lockout recoveries performed by us for a newly arrived Carlton resident from South Korea. Apparently for many people in South Korea keys are simply not part of their life with entry into homes, cars and work all being […]
Sleeping Beauty Locked out in Carlton
Without a doubt our busiest night is Friday night. So many people venture out on the town for adventure in Melbourne on Friday night that ends in a lost key calamity. Of course the main ingredient in these cases is alcohol. Whether it is dropping keys down the drain whilst fumbling them out of pocket, […]
Eviction in Richmond went smoothly
One of our locksmiths Sean did an eviction in Richmond on Saturday with the local sheriff and police present. This had been organised by Nelson Alexander real estate agents who were also present. He changed 5 locks so that the keys of the people being evicted will no longer work. This is done so that […]
