Hear What Our Customers Have to Say

  • Open in under four minutes.

    Front door slammed behind me at 11pm with the baby monitor still on inside. MetroKey answered on the second ring, arrived in twenty minutes and had it open in under four. No damage, and exactly the price quoted.

    Sarah DoyleHomeowner, Northfield
  • They talked me out of a bigger job.

    Expected to be sold a whole new sliding door mechanism. The locksmith replaced one lock body, explained why the rest was fine, and charged a third of what I'd budgeted. That kind of honesty gets you a customer for life.

  • Our insurer signed it off same day.

    After a break-in we needed key-operated deadlocks on two entrances before our insurer would settle. MetroKey fitted them the same afternoon and sent paperwork the assessor accepted without a single query.

    Emily HartleyOffice Manager, Larkfield Pty Ltd
  • Turned up on a Sunday, no surcharge.

    Snapped my key in the roller shutter on a long weekend. Two hours later we were trading again, and the invoice matched the weekday rate I was quoted on the phone.

    Ravi PatelOwner, Corner Store
  • Genuinely reassuring at 3am.

    Came home to a forced back door. They secured the property, boarded what couldn't be fixed overnight and returned at 8am to finish. Calm, kind and completely professional.

    Claire NwosuHomeowner, Eastgate
  • The only locksmith we call now.

    We manage 200 units and used to juggle four contractors. MetroKey handles the lot: one number, one rate card, and tenants who stop complaining about waiting.
