Frequently Asked Questions About TLC Security Locksmiths
Yes, Tony covers both hinged and sliding security door locks throughout Moonee Ponds, Ascot Vale, and all northern and western Melbourne suburbs. Locals we've spoken to report he's handled screen door repairs alongside main lock installations — one Essendon resident mentioned Tony fixed a wobbly screen door handle and sourced the right screws on the spot during a smart lock job. His mobile service means he brings the tools and parts needed for both traditional and modern security door hardware.
Absolutely. Tony is known locally for fast turnaround on smart lock installations across Coburg, Brunswick, and surrounding areas. One customer called at 11am requesting a fingerprint smart lock installation and Tony arrived by 4pm the same day, completing the physical install within 30 minutes then staying onsite to walk them through the phone app configuration. He stocks Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, RFID card access, and pincode models, so same-day service is standard for most smart lock requests.
Tony responds immediately to emergency lock replacements after break-ins. A couple in Essendon who were interstate during a burglary contacted him for urgent lock replacement, and he secured their property the same day while they were still away. Another local report mentions Tony arrived within hours of the initial call to complete a full lock-and-barrel change. His standard attendance fee covers the first 30 minutes onsite, and he'll rekey or replace locks to secure your home straight away.
Yes, Tony tackles unusual installations that other locksmiths turn down. One Preston customer needed an electric lock fitted that an experienced locksmith had declared impossible — Tony assessed the door, worked out a custom solution, and completed the installation professionally. He's known for problem-solving on digital locks with RFID card access, Bluetooth, and phone app control, particularly on doors with non-standard dimensions or older frames. If you've been told it can't be done in Thornbury or Preston, Tony's worth a call.
Tony's standard attendance fee covers the first 30 minutes of onsite work during business hours (8am–6pm) across Footscray, Sunshine, and all service areas. Additional charges apply only for parts like new deadlocks, barrels, or smart lock units. Locals consistently tell us his pricing is competitive — one Essendon resident mentioned previous locksmiths charged double or more for identical key replacement work. Tony's also known for honouring quotes even when jobs require extra effort, so you won't face surprise fees.
