Locksmith in Bentley
Curtin students on one side, 1940s State Housing duplexes on the other, and retirement villages in between.
Bentley, Western Australia 6102 is split across the City of Canning and the Town of Victoria Park, and only about 31 per cent of it is owner-occupied — the lowest we cover. With Curtin University on the doorstep and a median age of 32, it is a renting suburb with plenty of students.

Three different customers in one suburb
Bentley’s defining era is the 1940s State Housing Commission development, which is where the duplex and semi-detached stock comes from. Curtin University opened in 1967 and Technology Park was established in 1985. The Brownlie Towers precinct was demolished in 2019, so it is no longer part of the picture.
Share houses can have several people on one lease and plenty of keys in circulation, so a rekey when a key goes missing makes sense.
The 1940s duplexes can still have original or near-original hardware, where a repair is worth checking before a replacement. For older residents, lever handles instead of round knobs, an easy-turn deadbolt or a keypad lock can make a door easier to open. Technology Park adds a small commercial thread on top.

Worth knowing in Bentley
A share house that has lost a key
Rekey rather than hand out another copy, so the missing one stops working.
Lever handles instead of knobs
Easier to use for older residents, and a straightforward swap on most doors.
Rekey after a move
The locks are re-pinned so the old keys stop working.
No surprises on the day
- Price agreed first. You know the cost before any work starts, including after hours.
- Repair before replace. We only swap a lock when it is genuinely worn out.
- Drilling never costs you extra. If a barrel has to be drilled we say so before we start, then fit a new one keyed to your existing key at no charge.

Straight answers
Can you come to a student house near Curtin?
Yes. For a lockout we need photo ID and something showing you live there.
How much to rekey a rental in Bentley between tenants?
It depends on the number of locks — a duplex has fewer than a house. We confirm the count and agree the price before starting.
Can you fit a lever handle instead of a round knob for my elderly mum?
Yes. It is a straightforward swap on most doors and makes a real difference to someone with weak or arthritic hands.
Do you do bedroom door locks for a share house?
Yes, with the owner’s or agent’s approval.
Is Curtin University in Victoria Park?
No — Curtin is in Bentley. Bentley itself is split across the City of Canning and the Town of Victoria Park, which adds to the confusion.
