It’s a long shot, I know, but do any of you guys in Sydney have a recommendation for a locksmith? We need to get the locks at the new place changed, and I’m trying to avoid picking a name at random out of the phone book.

My friend’s dad (also a family friend) is a locksmith. He’s called the Great Houdini. (His real name is Laurie.) I’ve never used him personally, but my mum has and I don’t remember her saying anything bad about him. I’m sorry I can’t give you a better evaluation though.
The locksmiths in Booth St Annandale – they seem to have several names. http://www.aussieweb.com.au/directory/directory.aspx?cid=1670&lid=21043 I’ve had them do work for me and so has Sandra. Efficient and no more expensive than anyone else. 96601811
There is a great locksmith on Enmore Road in Enmore not far from the Enmore Theatre (but the other side of Enmore Road) Southern Cross Locksmiths
115 Enmore Rd Newtown NSW 2042
ph: (02) 9519 5044
Also, these guys are good – but they have a lot of commercial business which may make them harder to track down.

Thanks everybody!
We had a not so brilliant experience with Southern Cross Locksmiths, but maybe it just depends who they have on duty after hours. (Stupidly locked ourselves out, and admittedly the lock was a bit sticky, but it took him ages and he left a mess!)
