Guardian Lock Service

Guardian Lock Service has been looking after the security needs of Cairns and Far North Queensland for over 30 years. Owner Marc brings decades of hands-on experience to every job, from car lockouts in Port Douglas to key programming issues in Mareeba and lock work across the Tablelands. With a solid 4.6-star Google rating from close to 30 reviews, they've built a strong local reputation for getting people sorted quickly and professionally. Automotive locksmith work is clearly a strength here. Customers regularly mention Marc for tackling tricky jobs, from cleaning twigs out of car keyholes to programming keyless ignition fobs for modern vehicles like MG and Mercedes. One bloke who'd lost his only Mercedes key praised how Marc picked the lock, coded up a new key at the workshop, and had him back on the road. Another had all their car keys stolen and rang Guardian at the crack of dawn; Marc travelled 100km each way and had a replacement chipped key ready within the hour. Early Sunday morning callouts? No dramas. One customer had Marc at their place within 20 minutes on a Sunday arvo for a car unlock. That kind of rapid response is invaluable when you're stuck. Pricing gets a regular thumbs-up too. Several reviews mention Marc offering the best price in the area and keeping costs fair, even when a job takes multiple attempts. One customer noted that despite five attempts with different fobs and devices to program a spare key, Marc only charged the original quote, a nice touch that shows he's not out to gouge people. Guardian Lock Service handles residential and commercial locksmith work as well, plus safe installation, master key systems, and door and window locks. They work with trusted brands like Lockwood, Dormakaba, Chubb, and ABUS. If you need a locksmith in Cairns or anywhere across Far North Queensland, give Marc a ring, he's got the experience and the customer feedback to back it up.
