Locksmith Truganina, VIC
Fix Mate covers Truganina with mobile locksmiths seven days a week, for lockouts at 2am and for the deadlock you have been meaning to sort out since winter.
Truganina is roughly 22 km out, and we cover it as part of the run through Tarneit and Deer Park rather than as an occasional excursion. When you call we will tell you honestly where the closest van is instead of quoting a number that sounds good.
What locksmithing in Truganina actually looks like
Truganina carries a postcode of 3029 and about 36,305 residents, inside the Melton council area. The addresses we see most run off Boundary Road. The nearest suburbs we also cover are Tarneit, Deer Park and Caroline Springs.
Truganina is overwhelmingly separate houses, which means the locksmithing lives well beyond the front door. The back door, the laundry door, the garage side door, the gate, the shed and the sliding door onto the yard are all entry points, and the sliding door and the garage side door are the two overlooked most consistently. On a house this is also where keying alike pays off — one key for a property with five or six locks on it. The strips along Boundary Road carry shopfront and warehouse hardware.
The owner-renter split in Truganina is close to even, which makes it one of the more varied suburbs to work. In a single day the calls can run from a planned restricted-key upgrade to a tenant locked out at 11pm, and there is no useful way to predict which is coming.
Most Truganina jobs are practical ones — a solid deadlock fitted correctly, a house keyed alike so there is one key instead of five, and hardware chosen because it will still be working in ten years. We work all through Truganina 3029, either side of Boundary Road and across the rest of the Melton council area.

Locksmith questions — Truganina
How fast can a locksmith get to Truganina?
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. Truganina is roughly 22 km out, and we cover it as part of the run through Tarneit and Deer Park rather than as an occasional excursion. When you call we will tell you honestly where the closest van is instead of quoting a number that sounds good. Ask on the phone and you will get a real window rather than a marketing one.
Can you rekey every lock on a Truganina 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 Truganina 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 Truganina. 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 Truganina?
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 Truganina rather than you driving to us, and it is why there is no closing time to work around. The same vans cover Tarneit, Deer Park and Caroline Springs.
