Local knowledge
The Redfern version of this job
Two housing worlds share this postcode: renovated terraces with new hardware a few streets from the Lawson, Kendall and Gilmore towers on Morehead Street, where entry runs on intercoms and swipe cards. The lock work changes completely across a single road.
Redfern Station has no commuter car park, so drivers spill into residential streets the council has been tightening to one-hour permit-holders-excepted; the Woolworths car park on Chalmers Street and the Coles basement off Baptist Street absorb most of the rest. It is the difference between arriving at Redfern Station with the right cylinder on board and arriving with a catalogue.
Redfern Street's strip of small shopfronts and the Aboriginal community organisations around it sit alongside creative and tech offices in the newer Gibbons and Regent Street buildings, plus a few light-industrial roller doors surviving off Botany Road. We see the same pattern right across Redfern and through Waterloo and Surry Hills, so nothing about a Redfern call is a surprise.

Redfern customers
“Rekeyed our shopfront to restricted keys that can't be copied at the hardware store — exactly what we needed after a staff change. Quick, discreet and fairly priced. We'll use them for the other stores too.”
“Lost the only key to my car in the shopping centre car park. They came out, cut and programmed a new one on the spot and I drove home the same afternoon. Saved me a tow to the dealer.”
“Needed a spare smart key for the second driver. Cheaper than the dealership and done in the driveway while I had a coffee. Couldn't fault it.”
