Local knowledge
The Surry Hills version of this job
Terrace doors here are narrow, old and often heritage-controlled, so the answer is rarely a modern lock cut into the timber. Half the suburb's front doors still carry their original mortice or rim night latch, and the rear lane gate is the one people forget they own.
There is barely a driveway in the suburb: cars sit on resident-permit kerbside along Bourke, Riley and Albion Streets, or in the Surry Hills Village car park entered off Baptist or Marriott Street just over the Cleveland Street boundary, which is where keys tend to turn up under a seat. It is the difference between arriving at Crown Street with the right cylinder on board and arriving with a catalogue.
The old rag-trade buildings off Foveaux, Reservoir and Kippax Streets now hold design studios and agencies, alongside a long strip of small shopfronts and bars whose roller shutters and back-of-house doors take a beating nightly. We see the same pattern right across Surry Hills and through Darlinghurst and Redfern, so nothing about a Surry Hills call is a surprise.

What a Surry Hills call actually looks like

Whether the address is near Crown Street or over towards Belvoir St Theatre, the van that comes to you is stocked for Surry Hills's single-fronted victorian terraces, converted rag-trade warehouses and small interwar walk-up flats above shopfronts.

Surry Hills customers
“Locked myself out at 11pm and had a technician at my door in under half an hour. Opened it without a scratch and checked the lock still worked before leaving. Genuinely grateful.”
“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.”
