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 if they happen to have made duplicates of the keys, they cannot return at a later date for any reason.
Richmond is a high density rental area near Melbourne so we do lot of similar locksmith jobs for rental properties in the Richmond area. If you own a rental property, it is best to have a real estate agent manage it so that if an eviction is necessary, they can organise for the appropriate people to be present to ensure it all goes smoothly and without incident.
