Question 1

Can A1 Locksmiths fix caravan lock issues or do they only work on cars and houses?

Accepted Answer

They absolutely handle caravan locks. Keith from A1 has successfully adjusted barrel mechanisms on caravans when keys wouldn't turn — locals we've spoken to report he was able to diagnose and repair a jammed caravan lock on-site rather than replacing the whole assembly. Their mobile service covers motorhomes, caravans, and RVs right across Perth, not just standard automotive and residential work. If your key won't go in or turn properly, they'll often fix the mechanism first before recommending replacement.

Question 2

How much does A1 Locksmiths charge for car key replacement compared to dealerships in Perth?

Accepted Answer

A1's pricing runs dramatically lower than Perth dealerships. We've heard of them quoting $300–$400 for a fully coded Hyundai car key when the dealer wanted over $1,000 for the same job. For simpler replacements like an i30 key fob casing, locals report paying less than expected — often under $100. Their Osborne Park workshop handles transponder programming in-house, which keeps costs down. If you've snapped a key in the ignition, they've replaced and cut duplicates within a couple of hours for reasonable rates.

Question 3

Does A1 Locksmiths charge a call-out fee before quoting on automotive jobs in Perth?

Accepted Answer

Yes, they do charge an inspection fee for certain diagnostics, particularly on automotive central locking or complex electronic faults. Cain, one of their mobile locksmiths, will come out, assess the issue, and send you a photo of any electronic faults before proceeding with repairs. This fee applies before they provide a final quote on jobs requiring diagnosis. For straightforward key cutting or lockouts, the process is quicker and pricing is typically confirmed upfront at their three Perth workshop locations.

Question 4

How quickly can A1 Locksmiths respond to a home lockout in Morley or nearby suburbs?

Accepted Answer

They're known locally for fast turnaround on residential lockouts. Morley and nearby Perth suburbs regularly see arrival within the hour — we've heard of customers being back inside their homes within half an hour of calling. One Friday afternoon lockout saw the locksmith arrive within an hour when they'd initially estimated two. Monday callouts have been completed within a couple of hours. Their 24/7 emergency service covers the full Perth metro area, and response times are consistently quicker than customers expect, even during peak periods.

Question 5

Can A1 Locksmiths cut keys for Rhino roof racks and other non-standard automotive locks?

Accepted Answer

Yes, they handle unusual automotive key jobs beyond standard car keys. Their Scarborough Beach Road workshop has successfully cut keys for Rhino roof rack locks and other aftermarket accessories. They check blanks first to confirm they have the correct match before cutting, which avoids the wasted attempts you'd get at automated kiosks. Their team has cut keys at $5 each compared to $9 at kiosks that don't work. Parking is easy out front at their Scarborough location, and turnaround is typically within minutes for straightforward cuts.
