How we work
This page explains how we approach a job, so you know what to expect before you call.
How we work
Mc Locksmith Service Prahran works out of 484 Malvern Rd, Prahran, and covers the suburbs around it. We do lock repairs, replacements, lockouts, residential and commercial work, and door hardware.
There is no founder story here, no team photos and no badges. Most of those claims cannot be checked by the person reading them, so we have left them out.
What we can explain is how the work goes. Locks need fine tolerances, but they live in rough conditions. Doors swell, frames settle and buildings move. Hardware fitted decades ago is still expected to turn smoothly today. Getting it right means looking at your door rather than using a standard answer.
The method is simple. We ask what changed and when. We check the door, the frame and the lock together instead of blaming the lock. We set out the options, including doing less than you expected. We do the agreed work, then test it before we leave.
It also means being clear about what we cannot do. We cannot diagnose a lock over the phone. We cannot promise a time we do not control. We cannot price a job before we know what it involves.

How we work
01
Clear explanations
You will know what we are doing and why before we start.
02
Clean work
It is your home or business, not a worksite. We leave it as we found it.
03
Careful fitting
We work with the door you have, to fine tolerances, rather than forcing it.
04
Right-sized jobs
The work that fixes the problem, not the largest job we could sell.
This site does not publish guaranteed arrival times, award badges or years-in-business figures. We only state things you can verify.
Our process
Five steps, start to finish
01
Call
Tell us what the door is doing and what changed.
02
Look
We check the lock, the door and the frame together.
03
Options
A clear explanation of what we would do, including doing less.
04
Fix
The work you agreed to, and nothing extra.
05
Test
We operate the door until we are sure it works properly.
The scale we work at
Why a millimetre matters
Every part has to line up or the lock will not turn. Select a part to see what it does.
Pins
Spring-loaded stacks of two. The bottom pin reads the cut on your key. The top pin blocks the plug until the join lines up.
Next step
Tell us what the door is doing
Call us or send the details in writing. Either way you will get a clear answer about what happens next, including if the answer is that you do not need us.
