Locksmith Thomastown, VIC
Fix Mate is on the road in Thomastown every day and every night — homes, businesses and vehicles, with no shopfront and no closing time.
Thomastown is middle-ring, about 15 km out, and it is covered as part of the Lalor circuit. That is worth knowing because plenty of "Melbourne-wide" locksmiths mean the inner ten kilometres.
What locksmithing in Thomastown actually looks like
Thomastown carries a postcode of 3074 and about 20,234 residents, inside the Whittlesea council area. The addresses we see most run off Keon Parade, High Street and Edgars Road. If you are giving directions, Thomastown is the reference point most people reach for. The nearest suburbs we also cover are Lalor, Reservoir and Fawkner.
The building stock in Thomastown is detached housing, so the job is usually a whole property rather than a single door. That changes the recommendation: the useful question is not "what lock goes on the front" but "how many keys do you want to carry", and the answer is nearly always one. Rekeying the existing hardware gets there without buying six new locks. The strips along Keon Parade and High Street bring warehouse and shopfront work.
Thomastown is split fairly evenly between owners and renters, and the two ask for opposite things. Owners plan — a deadlock upgrade, keying the house alike, a smart lock before the summer holiday. Renters and their agents call when something has already happened. Both are ordinary work here, and the van carries stock for both.
The recommendation in Thomastown is usually the durable one rather than the expensive one. A serviceable lock repaired well outlasts a cheap replacement, and we would rather tell you that than sell you hardware you did not need. We work all through Thomastown 3074, from Thomastown across to Thomastown Trash and Treasure Market and across the rest of the Whittlesea council area.

Locksmith questions — Thomastown
How fast can a locksmith get to Thomastown?
Honestly, it depends on where the nearest van is when you ring, and anyone who gives you one number for the whole of Melbourne is guessing. Thomastown is middle-ring, about 15 km out, and it is covered as part of the Lalor circuit. That is worth knowing because plenty of "Melbourne-wide" locksmiths mean the inner ten kilometres. Ask on the phone and you will get a real window rather than a marketing one.
Can you rekey every lock on a Thomastown house to one key?
Usually, yes. Front door, back door, laundry, garage side door and often the gate can be brought onto a single key by rekeying the cylinders rather than buying new locks. The limit is mechanical — different brands and lock types cannot always share a key — so it is worth us seeing the doors before we promise it across the whole property.
Which doors get forgotten most on a Thomastown property?
The garage side door and the sliding door onto the yard, almost every time. Both are entry points, both are often fitted with whatever the builder supplied, and neither gets thought about because the front door has a deadlock. They are also the cheapest things on a house to improve.
We have just bought in Thomastown. Should we change the locks?
You should change who can open them, which is not the same thing. Rekeying cancels every key ever cut for those locks while keeping the hardware you paid for in the price of the house. Replacement only makes sense where the locks are worn, mismatched or not to the standard you want — and we will tell you which of those you are looking at.
Do you have a shop in Thomastown?
No. Fix Mate is fully mobile — there is no counter anywhere, and the machines and stock travel in the van. It means we come to your door in Thomastown rather than you driving to us, and it is why there is no closing time to work around. The same vans cover Lalor, Reservoir and Fawkner.
