About Us

A network of over 700 certified locksmithing businesses

 

This site is administered by the Master Locksmiths Association of Australasia Ltd (MLAA) on behalf of over 700 locksmithing companies in Australia and New Zealand who are Business Members of the MLAA.

This site allows the public to access our network of qualified professional locksmiths, and to find valuable information on how to secure the things that are important to them.

“Secure the things you love”

To ensure consumers engage the services of a professional locksmith with the skills required to perform the highest quality of work, all MLAA Master Locksmiths must be fully qualified. In addition, they must also be police-checked, or hold a security licence or registration. This provides consumers with the peace of mind and the confidence that the locksmith has the necessary skills, and can be trusted.

Master Locksmiths are bound by the MLAA’s Code of Ethics, and the Business they work for must be a registered company, licensed (in jurisdictions where licencing is required), and fully insured.
