Preferred Locksmiths

Preferred Locksmiths has been sorting out lock troubles across Brisbane and the Moreton Bay Region for over 26 years. Owner Ash runs this locally owned operation from Upper Caboolture, offering residential, automotive, and emergency locksmith services backed by a 4.8-star Google rating from 26 reviews. With a security licence and police vetting in place, customers can feel confident calling them for everything from lockouts to transponder key programming. Ash is regularly praised for fast response times when people need help in a hurry. One customer locked out of their house on a scorching 30-degree day was relieved when Ash came "straight out at just a moments notice." Another rang at 9:00 on a Saturday morning and had Ash arrive within 10 minutes to fix a broken car key. That kind of quick turnaround has earned the business a reputation for being reliable when you're in a bind. On the automotive side, Preferred Locksmiths handles everything from cutting and programming keys for utes and Commodores to fixing remotes for Landcruisers. Residential customers regularly mention Ash for rekeying whole houses to one key, cutting mailbox keys for rental properties, and general lock work. One reviewer noted, "Who would have thought same-key locks would make life so much easier!" Beyond lockouts, the business also offers safe opening and servicing, burglary repairs, restricted master key systems, and electronic access control systems. Pricing gets solid marks, with customers describing the work as "very reasonable," "well priced," and "great value." The business is open weekends, including Sundays, and provides emergency lockout service when needed. For anyone needing a local locksmith in the Caboolture or northern Brisbane area who gets the job done without mucking about, give Ash a ring.
