Ian covers Currumbin Waters and the 4223 postcode
Ian covers Currumbin Waters and the 4223 postcode.
It sits in the valley behind the beach — family housing on quiet streets, a bit more space than the beachfront suburbs, and mostly homes people have been in for a while rather than short-term rentals.
The steady work here is the ordinary kind: lockouts, rekeys when someone moves in, and the garage problem.
The garage problem is worth naming because it catches so many households. If everyone comes and goes through the roller door, nobody carries a house key. Then the remote battery dies, or the power goes out, and the whole family is standing in the driveway locked out of a house whose front door key is in a drawer inside.
0414 841 152A house key that actually works
Quick test: if the roller door stopped working right now, could you get in?
For a lot of households the honest answer is no — either nobody has a house key on them, or the one in the drawer has never been tried and doesn't turn because the lock's seized from disuse.
Ian will check the front and back doors actually work, cut keys that people carry, and sort the deadbolt while he's there. Small job, and it's the single most common preventable lockout on the Coast.

Ian Pearson has been a locksmith on the Gold Coast for more than 30 years. Trade qualified, signed van, and the number on this page rings his phone.
That's worth saying plainly, because a lot of what advertises as a “ Currumbin Waters locksmith” is a dispatch centre somewhere else that sells your job on. That's where the cheap call-out that turns into a four-hundred-dollar invoice comes from — along with a drilled-out lock that never needed drilling.

Questions people in Currumbin Waters ask
How long until Ian gets to Currumbin Waters?
Depends where he is and what time it is. Ring and he'll tell you honestly — he won't promise you a number he can't hit.
We only ever use the garage. Is that a problem?
It's the most common way people end up locked out. Worth having a house key that works and someone carrying it.
The back door key hasn't been used in years and won't turn. Can that be fixed?
Usually — a disused lock often just needs servicing. Ian will tell you if it's past that.
Do I have to prove the car or house is mine?
Yes, and you should want him to ask. Photo ID and something linking you to the property or the rego. Any locksmith who doesn't ask is one you shouldn't let near your locks.
