Locksmith in Kwinana
Kwinana is a city, not a suburb. The homes are in Medina, Calista, Orelia, Parmelia, Bertram and Wellard.
Kwinana, Western Australia is a local government area about 34 kilometres south of our Mount Lawley base, so this is a booked job and we will say so. Across postcode 6167 about 91 per cent of homes are separate houses and nearly half are on a mortgage — young families in newer estates — with the original 1950s town at Medina and Calista a completely different proposition.

A 1950s industrial new town, and everything built since
Kwinana is a 1950s industrial new town. The road district was created out of Rockingham in February 1954, two years after the industrial area began, and Medina was the original planned workers’ town. So the district has two very different housing stocks: 1950s and 60s state-planned housing at Medina, Calista, Orelia and Parmelia, and 1990s to 2020s estate housing from Wellard and Bertram outward.
That split decides the job. In the original town the hardware is genuinely old — worn cylinders, screen doors past their time, and the repair-or-replace conversation. In the newer estates the doors are modern and in good condition, so the questions are about digital and keypad locks and about rekeying after settlement rather than fixing what is there.
The industrial side needs honesty rather than a sales pitch. The refineries, petrochemical plants and port facilities here run restricted master-key and networked access-control systems, and we do not do either — that is a referral, not a target. What we do do is the contractor vehicles servicing those plants: utes and vans, spare keys and lockouts, which is real work and plenty of it.

“Amco locksmiths are amazing to deal with! Very friendly and helpful on the phone. Responded promptly to my call for help with a key that was not working. Magnus was extremly friendly and helpful when he showed up. For any locksmith issues, go with these guys. You will not be disappointed. Thank you for making my day so much better in a sticky situation <3”

We called 2 other places first and also had road side assistance out to inspect. Not one of them advised us to look where she had dropped it for the micro chip. They simply wanted dollars in their pockets without trying to solve the problem. After a prompt call back from Magnus and an exploded view image of keys components and 5 minutes of rummaging around the garden the chip was found, re-installed and works. 100% recommend these guys and will be getting a spare key from them in the near future. Thanks so much Magnus!!!”

Is there a locksmith that actually comes out to Kwinana?
We do, but honestly: it is about 34 kilometres and roughly a forty minute run from Mount Lawley. It is a booked job, not an emergency response, and we will tell you plainly when we can be there.
Which suburbs does this cover?
Postcode 6167 — Medina, Calista, Orelia, Parmelia, Bertram, Wellard, Leda, Casuarina, Wandi and the rest. Kwinana itself is the city, not a residential suburb.
Can you work on the refineries or the port?
No. Heavy industry here runs master-key and networked access control systems, neither of which we do. We will point you to someone who does. What we can do is your vehicles and your site office doors.
Can you fit a keypad lock on a new house in Wellard or Bertram?
Yes. Newer estate doors take them well. We fit McGrath, Lion Head, Lockton, Carbine, Lockwood and Yale, and every one keeps a second way in.
Do you charge more for the distance?
We agree the price before we start, including any travel, so there are no surprises when we arrive.
