Welcome to the All Star Lock & Key blog, where we share practical, straight-talking advice from more than 25 years in the locksmith trade. As a family-owned mobile locksmith based in Kwinana, we work across Perth’s southern suburbs every day — from emergency lockouts and home rekeys to car key replacements and commercial lock repairs — and we’ve picked up a few things worth passing on along the way.
Here you’ll find guides on choosing the right locks for your home, what to do if you’re locked out of your car or house, how rekeying compares to replacing locks altogether, and tips for keeping rental properties and commercial premises secure. We also cover the more technical side of things, like automotive key programming, deadlock installation, and what “high security” locks actually mean in practice.
Our goal with this blog isn’t to sell you anything — it’s to help you make sense of your options before you need a locksmith in a hurry. Whether you’re a homeowner wondering if your locks meet insurance requirements, a property manager handling tenant turnovers, or someone who’s just lost their car keys and needs answers fast, you’ll find real, experience-based advice here rather than generic filler.
If you can’t find what you’re looking for, or you need a hand right now, give us a call — we’re always happy to talk locksmithing, even if it’s just to point you in the right direction.
