Older houses in the City of Gosnells
Maddington is in the City of Gosnells, in Perth’s south-east. Much of it was subdivided for housing in the 1950s and 60s, and a light industrial area runs along Albany Highway and the railway line.
The 2021 Census counted about 4,300 occupied homes. 84 per cent are separate houses, about one in nine is a townhouse, villa or semi, and the rest are mostly units. 28 per cent are rented.
On older houses the locks have often been changed one at a time over the years, so the front door, back door and screens can end up on different keys. Older hardware is often worn rather than broken, and a service can bring it back. Where the locks allow it, we rekey the house to one key.
Since December we’ve been called out to Maddington.

Before you book in Maddington
Older lock sticking?
A worn lock is often cheaper to service before it fails than to replace after.

Changing the locks needs the landlord’s OK. Ask them first, or ask them to book us.

Straight answers
Is Maddington in your area?
Yes. Ring 08 9444 2089, tell us what you need, and we’ll say when we can get there before you book.
My old front door lock is stiff. Repair or replace?
Often a repair will do. Older locks are usually worn rather than broken, and a service can bring them back. If one has failed, we say so and give you the price for a new one before any work.
Can a tenant change the locks in Maddington?
Not without the landlord’s agreement, except in a family violence situation. Consumer Protection explains the rules. If you own the place, a rekey is the quick fix: the old keys stop working and your locks stay on the door.
Can you make a car key where the car is?
For most cars, yes: Japanese makes, Hyundai, Kia and most US-built makes like Ford and Holden, cut and programmed on the spot. European and Chinese cars we can get into without damage, but new keys for those come from the dealer. We can do a Volkswagen spare if you still have one working key. See car key replacement.
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.
