Locksmiths in bundaberg
The locksmithing profession has a history as old as civilisation itself, with discernible periods extending from classical antiquity through to the computer era. The security of one’s possessions dates way back to the ancient Pharaoh’s, with tombs containing locking devices regarded as the fore-runners of modern locking systems.
Today a locksmith in Bundaberg and surrounding region may be required to perform services ranging from providing customers with a new transponder key for their Volkswagen Golf, provide advice on best securing one’s valuable jewellery or designing and implementing a high-security restricted master key system for a high-rise building.

Cutting-Edge Key Cutting Services
There are two ways a locksmith can make a key. If you already have the key and simply just need a copy of it, then our regular key cutting service in Bundaberg can have your new key ready for you in minutes. Active Security Group stocks a wide range of keys for doors, garages, letterboxes, padlocks and windows at our shop. Simply drop in and chat to one of our friendly team members.
The other key cutting service we offer is for customers who have the lock but don’t have the key. Generally this requires one of our expert locksmiths to come to you at the location of where the lock is to perform what is called a lock impression.
A lock impression is where the locksmith inserts a blank key into the lock and the pins within the lock press against the key leaving marks where the cuts need to be made.
Our team of mobile locksmiths have all the necessary tools within their mobile service vehicle to do the job onsite.

Common Questions About Locksmithing
Can a locksmith get in without breaking door?
Certainly, a locksmith has the ability to unlock your lock without causing harm to it. Typically, locksmiths employ non-invasive techniques to gain entry to your property, guaranteeing that neither the lock nor the door is damaged.
How do locksmiths open doors without keys?
Locksmiths have various methods to open doors without keys, depending on the type of lock and the circumstances. Here are some common techniques:
-
Lock picking: This involves manipulating the lock’s pins or tumblers using specialised tools until they align and the lock can be turned.
-
Lock bumping: A bump key is used to create a vibration that can push the lock’s pins into alignment, allowing the lock to be turned.
-
Lock impressioning: A blank key is inserted into the lock and used to create a mold of the lock’s internal mechanism. The locksmith then cuts a new key based on the mold.
-
Lock drilling: This method involves drilling a small hole into the lock to disable it, allowing the locksmith to turn the lock with a tool.
It’s worth noting that locksmiths will generally use non-destructive techniques whenever possible to avoid damaging the lock or door.
Can a locksmith make a key for a lock without the key?
Yes, a locksmith can make a key for a lock even if you don’t have the original key. There are a few methods that locksmiths use to create a key for a lock without the original key:
-
Impressioning: This involves inserting a blank key into the lock and using a tool to create a pattern of the lock’s pins or tumblers on the key. The locksmith then cuts a new key based on the pattern.
-
Code cutting: Many locks have a code number stamped on them that corresponds to the key’s shape. A locksmith can use this code to cut a new key using a key cutting machine.
-
Lock decoding: Locksmiths can use specialized tools to decode the lock’s internal mechanism and create a new key based on the information obtained.
It’s important to note that not all locks can be easily rekeyed or have new keys made for them, and some may need to be replaced entirely. A professional locksmith can assess your specific situation and advise you on the best course of action.
