Ian covers Pacific Pines and the 4211 postcode
Ian covers Pacific Pines and the 4211 postcode.
It's one of the larger master-planned estates on the northern Coast — thousands of homes built across a relatively short window, mostly to families, mostly with the same specification on the same doors.
That uniformity matters. When something turns out to be a weak point in one house here, it's a weak point in a few hundred, because they all came off the same plans with the same hardware.
The two that come up constantly: sliding doors onto the patio running nothing but the factory latch, and garage-entry households where nobody carries a house key at all.
0414 841 152The garage-only household
Quick test: if the roller door stopped working right now, could anyone in your house get in?
In an estate like this the answer is often no. The remote is how everyone comes and goes, and the front door key is in a drawer inside the house it opens.
It's the single most preventable lockout Ian attends. Sorting it means checking the front and back doors actually work, cutting keys that people carry, and usually fitting a proper deadbolt while he's there.

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 “ Pacific Pines 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 Pacific Pines ask
How long until Ian gets to Pacific Pines?
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.
Our sliding door only has the latch it came with. Is that enough?
Generally not — it's the most common weak point in these estates and usually a cheap fix.
Nobody in the house carries a key. Is that a problem?
It's how most lockouts here happen. Worth sorting on a quiet day rather than a wet Tuesday night.
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.

“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.”
