A railway workshop town, rebuilt
Midland grew around the Midland Railway Workshops, the main workshops for the state railways for over eighty years, with the Town Hall from 1906 and the Post Office from 1913. When the workshops closed the site was redeveloped, and that redevelopment is what produced the housing profile Midland has now: only about a third separate houses, half townhouses and a sixth apartments, with the old coal storage dam now an ornamental lake beside a residential estate.
With that much apartment and townhouse living, the lock work here is the door into your unit, the letterbox and the sliding door. Letterbox banks in unit blocks are the one master-keyed job we do, and a single barrel can usually be changed on its own. We run a 24 hour emergency service for lockouts.
Midland also has a regional shopping centre, a hospital, a university campus and the City of Swan’s offices, so there are shopfronts and staff doors as well as homes.
Since December we’ve been called out to Midland at least twice.

Straight answers
Is there a 24 hour locksmith in Midland?
Yes. We run a 24 hour emergency service. After hours costs more than business hours, and we agree the price before we come out.
Can a tenant change the locks in Midland?
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.
Who fixes letterbox locks in a Midland unit block?
We do. Letterbox banks are the one master-keyed job we do, and an individual barrel can usually be changed without touching the rest of the bank.
I’m locked out of my apartment. Can you get me in?
Most doors, yes. We open them through the lock wherever we can, and if drilling is ever needed we tell you before we start. You’ll need photo ID and something showing you live there.
What does a locksmith cost in Midland?
The same as anywhere else in Perth. A lockout is from $195 inc GST in business hours, and there’s no charge if we can’t get in. A rekey is $195 for the first lock, with the call-out and 2 keys included, then $55 for each extra lock. After-hours costs more and varies with the time; the price is agreed before we start. Prices checked October 2026. More on our locksmith cost page.
