The West End, and everything around it
Fremantle’s West End was added to the State Register of Heritage Places in 2016. It was the largest single listing the state had made: about 250 buildings from the gold boom era. Many of them are now shops, offices and homes.
Across the suburb, the 2021 Census counted 5,137 homes. Four in ten are separate houses, about a third are townhouses or semis, and more than a quarter are apartments. Around four in ten homes are rented.
On an older building the door often needs to stay as it is, so we start with the lock that’s already there: rekey it, repair it, or fit a replacement that suits the door. In an apartment the job is usually your own front door, the letterbox and the balcony door. The building’s main entry is a matter for the strata.
The limestone cottages south of the town centre have their own page: locksmith in South Fremantle.

From one of our jobs
A recent Fremantle job: a property had been broken into and the keys were stolen. We rekeyed every lock to one key, fitted a deadbolt to the front door, cut keys for the windows and replaced a broken screen door lock.

Straight answers
Will you come to Fremantle?
Yes. Ring 08 9444 2089 and tell us what you need. We’ll tell you straight when we can get there before you book.
Can you change the key on a heritage door without changing the lock?
Yes. Rekeying changes the pins inside the lock you have, so the door and the hardware stay as they are and the old keys stop working. If a lock has genuinely failed, we tell you and talk through a replacement that suits the door before we do anything.
Can you fix my apartment building’s front entry?
No. We do your own front door, letterbox and balcony door. The building’s main entry system is for the strata to sort out.
Do you cover South Fremantle too?
Yes. It has its own page: locksmith in South Fremantle.
Is it dearer after hours?
Yes. After hours costs more and depends on the time. We give you the price on the phone and agree it before we come out.
