ASCOT VALE · OPEN 24 HOURS
Flats change hands often and the key count is always higher than the lease says. Rekeying resets it in one visit without touching the door.
Ascot Vale runs from period homes near the river to walk-up flats around the racecourse end. Flat entry doors, mailbox locks and older timber frames that have swollen out of square are the steady calls, and each needs a different set of parts on the van.
Race days change the roads around here and we build that into the number we give you rather than finding out later.
One figure on the phone, the same at the door and on the invoice, after hours included.
Picks and bypass tools first. On a flat entry door that everyone shares, that matters more than usual.
Whoever answers is who arrives. Nothing gets handed to a contractor you have not spoken to.
Walk-up flats around the racecourse end and period homes down near the river. The flats need the entry door and your own door sorted; the houses usually need a swollen timber frame eased.
Locked out of the house →Locked out on Union Road or in a flat car park off Maribyrnong Road. We come to the car and open it where it is.
Locked out of the car →Flat keys, mailbox keys and a laundry key that nobody has seen since 2019. We cut the set, and mailbox locks we can usually replace on the spot.
Lost keys and replacement keys →Flats change hands often and the key count is always higher than the lease says. Rekeying resets it in one visit without touching the door.
Rekeying and lock changes →Mailbox banks get levered and flat entry doors get pushed at the strike. Both are same-night fixes and we tell the agent what we did in writing.
Break-in repairs →On a flat, the entry door strike and a proper deadlock do more than anything else. On the period houses it is usually the back door that has been ignored.
Deadlocks and security upgrades →8 North St
