Locksmith in Mount Lawley
Well inside the area we cover. Federation front doors, Beaufort Street shopfronts, and a lot of rented flats behind both.
Amco Locksmiths covers Mount Lawley, Western Australia 6050, as a mobile locksmith. About a third of homes here are rented and close to half are flats or townhouses, so a call here can be a rekey between tenants, a repair to an original lock on a pre-1960 house, or opening a Beaufort Street shopfront after close.

What the doors are like in Mount Lawley
Mount Lawley is unusual before you even get to the locks: it is split across three councils — Stirling, Bayswater and Vincent — so the rules about what you may change on a front elevation differ street to street. The Stirling portion sits inside a heritage protection area that restricts demolition of homes built before 1960, and the City of Vincent runs its own separate character policy for its side.
That matters more than it sounds. On a lot of these houses the original mortice or rim lock is part of what is protected, and the answer is to re-pin or repair it rather than cut a modern lockset into a hundred-year-old jarrah door. We do that work, and we tell you honestly when a lock is past saving.
The other half of the suburb is nothing like that. Nearly half of all dwellings here are flats or townhouses, much of it behind and along Beaufort Street, which means letterbox banks, common entry doors and aluminium sliders rather than front gates. And with roughly 1,900 rented homes in one suburb, a rekey between tenants is worth doing every time.
Amco Locksmiths covers Mount Lawley, Western Australia 6050. One licensed locksmith, mobile, no call centre and no shopfront to drive to. Call 08 9444 2089, or send a photo of the lock and we will tell you what it needs before we come out.

What we get called to in Mount Lawley
Rekey between tenants
A third of homes here are rented. We re-pin the existing locks so the old keys stop working and nothing has to be replaced.
One key for a character home
Front door on one profile, security screen on another, back door on a third. We put the lot on one key where the hardware allows.
Letterbox and common doors
Flats behind Beaufort Street mean mailbox barrels and shared entry doors, which is work most people only think about when a key snaps.
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
Where exactly is Amco based?
In Mount Lawley. We are a mobile locksmith with no shopfront, so everything is done at your door rather than over a counter. We do not publish a street address.
Can I change the locks on a heritage-protected house in Mount Lawley?
Almost always, yes — but the sympathetic answer is usually to rekey or repair the original lock rather than replace it, which also keeps the door looking right. We will tell you which applies to your door before we touch it.
How much does it cost to rekey a house in Mount Lawley?
It depends on how many locks there are and whether the screen doors are included. A typical Perth house has six to eight. We agree the price with you before we start.
Do you do apartments and letterboxes?
Yes — apartment entry doors, letterbox banks and sliding balcony doors. What we do not do is a building’s networked access control or intercom system; that goes through your strata company.
Is there a locksmith near Beaufort Street after hours?
Yes. We run a 24 hour emergency service. After hours costs more than business hours, and we agree the price before we come out.
