Locked out in Elanora?
Shopping done at The Pines, trolley loaded, and the keys have gone into the boot with the bags and the boot has shut.
Elanora is a settled family suburb — a lot of households who've been here fifteen or twenty years, two cars in most driveways, and the shopping centre as the practical centre of the suburb. The lockouts split fairly evenly between that car park and people's own driveways.
The residential side runs to rekeys when a house changes hands, replacing hardware that's done twenty years of service, and the perennial second-driver problem — a household with three drivers and two keys.

Every family with teenagers eventually hits this. The car gets shared, there aren't enough keys, and one set is doing all the work until it's lost.
A spare cut while you've still got a working key is one of the cheapest jobs Ian does. Replacing when every key is gone is one of the dearer ones. That gap is worth knowing about before you're on the wrong side of it.

You'll be dealing with Ian, not a call centre
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 “ Elanora 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 Elanora ask
How long until Ian gets to Elanora?
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.
Can you come to The Pines car park?
Yes, regularly. Tell Ian roughly where you're parked.
How much cheaper is a spare than a full replacement?
Significantly, on nearly every vehicle. Give Ian the make, model and year and he'll give you both numbers.
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.
Locals rate us
“Absolutely brilliant service. Had our spare car keys stolen — they chased up replacements in quick time, then travelled outside their normal service area to reach us on holidays. Cannot recommend highly enough.”
“Absolute legend! Genuinely helped me over the phone without making a cent for himself — saving me a potential $500. Will definitely recommend to anyone in need.”
“Highly recommend this business. Excellent customer service, excellent knowledge and excellent work. Professional manner matches his high-quality work.”
