01 · Approach
Auckland Locksmiths is the dedicated locksmith arm of Hardware Direct — Auckland's specialist in residential and commercial locking and security systems since 1997. Twenty-five years in, we've built strong relationships with the world's leading lock manufacturers, which is how we get our pick of the best entrance, security and locking systems available anywhere.
Our investment in vehicle-locks technology means we attend to most car locks, keys and remotes without issue — fast, on-site, and without damaging your car. And because we run an active apprentice programme (currently three positions), the trade stays in good hands long after we've solved today's problem.
