🔐 Beware of Locksmith Scams: What You Need to Know 🔐

Getting locked out of your home or car is stressful enough—don’t let a scam make it worse.

🚫 Locksmith scams are on the rise, often targeting people in urgent situations. Here’s how they work:

🚨 The Scam: Fraudulent locksmiths advertise super low prices (like $20-$30) to lure you in. Once on-site, they claim the job is more complicated and jack up the price—sometimes into the hundreds.

🔍 Red Flags to Watch For:
No company name or branding on the vehicle or technician
Refusal to provide a written estimate before starting
Demanding cash-only payment
Drilling your lock unnecessarily (a tactic to charge more)

Warning: scammers are using legitimate licensed locksmith business names to trick the public.

The scammers use a legitimate business’s name but link through to their own website and trick customers into engaging scam locksmith services.

A locksmith, possibly unlicensed, will show up to the job, often damaging the lock, and threatening the customer into paying excessive fees.

Warning signs:

1. The business name on your search engine MUST match the website URL
2. Look for a Master licence number on the website BEFORE contacting them
3. Only allow a licensed locksmith to complete your job and ask to see their licence when they turn up.
4. Be wary of anyone demanding cash.
5. Report unlicensed locksmiths to SLED here: https://www.police.nsw.gov.au/online_services/security_licensing_and_enforcement_directorate/security_licences/report

Hi there, we would like to let our clients and everyone in the community know that there are scammers out there at the moment posing as legitimate locksmith businesses all over Australia, This has been happening for a while in Europe and the UK but now they are here in Australia. The NSW police force has a department, SLED (Security Licensing Enforcement Directorate), devoted to trying to stop these organised crime syndicates but the syndicates are well funded and very hard to prosecute and stop. The problem really starts with Google allowing non licensed and unqualified individuals to advertise on google Adwords. They use legitimate business names like Manly Locksmiths Pty Ltd in their sponsored Ads and people unsuspectingly click on their Ad and end up with a scammer attending their business or property.

If the price for an emergency lockout sounds cheap, you are likely dealing with a scammer. Lockouts and emergency locksmiths will generally charge between $150 - $300 for an emergency callout depending on the day and the time of day. Not $29 or $45 like these scammers are advertising. They will charge you $29 or $45 to get to your door and then add extra charges. We have heard of people being forced to pay upwards of $1000 to have a scammer damage their locks and doors beyond repair, then it costs them even more for the repairs that need to be done to give them a functioning door and lock. Always ask when quoted for the full price of getting back into your property when locked out, it is also rare that a locksmith will need to be destructive to gain entry, 95% of lockouts can be done without any damage to your locks.

The best way to protect yourself from this is to not click on the sponsored Ads and to use the links from the natural listings, make sure the URL matches the business name advertised, we found that the most relevant information is the listings that utilise google maps. Also when a locksmith arrives make sure they have a valid security licence, it will look like this and will be a Class 2BC, some may have a 2ABCD. They should also be attending in a professionally sign written vehicle.
