I'm Legacy Locksmith, and I look after Cremorne the way you'd want a neighbour to: I pick up the phone, and I turn up. I'm based just over the hill in Neutral Bay, so when you're standing outside an Art Deco block off Military Road with your keys on the kitchen bench, I'm not dispatching someone from the far side of the city — I'm coming from a few minutes down the road.

Cremorne is a particular sort of place to work in, and I like that. One street you're at a 1930s walk-up with the original brass lever set still on the door; the next you're at a renovated semi near Cremorne Point with a smart deadbolt and a strata committee to keep happy. I've done both, more times than I can count. Nothing here surprises me, which means I can get you sorted without the drama.

I don't do scare tactics or discount gimmicks. What I do is straightforward, licensed work and a 5.0 rating across more than 200 Google reviews — most of them from people right here on the Lower North Shore. If you're locked out, lost a key, or just want the locks changed after moving in, ring me and I'll tell you plainly what's involved before I lift a tool.

The Cremorne lock landscape

Cremorne's housing leans heavily on the inter-war Art Deco apartment blocks that line the streets off the Military Road corridor, and they come with their own quirks — original timber doors, shared entry lobbies, common-property locks and strata rules about what can and can't be changed. Down toward Cremorne Point and the harbour foreshore the stock shifts to period houses and renovated semis, often with a mix of heritage hardware out front and modern smart locks added at the back. I work across all of it: I understand the difference between a tenant's lock and a strata-managed common door, I'm used to coordinating with building managers and apartment receptionists, and I won't put a security upgrade on a heritage door without thinking about how it looks. It's the kind of local knowledge that only comes from doing the suburb regularly.

What I do in Cremorne

  • Emergency lockouts — homes, units and businesses across Cremorne, including Art Deco blocks with shared lobbies and tricky common-property doors
  • Lock changes and new lock installation, including discreet upgrades that suit heritage timber doors off Military Road
  • Rekeying after a move, a lost key, or a tenant changeover — one key for the new household without replacing every lock
  • Car key and transponder work — cut and programmed kerbside, whether you're parked near the Hayden Orpheum or in a Cremorne Point side street
  • Smart locks and keyless entry — supply, fitting and setup for owners adding modern access to older apartments
  • Restricted and master key systems for strata buildings, common areas and small businesses along the Military Road shops
  • Strata and commercial work alongside building managers, receptionists and committees who already refer Cremorne jobs to me
My base is in Neutral Bay, which sits right alongside Cremorne — so a call from a unit off Military Road or a house near Cremorne Point is genuinely a short trip for me, not a cross-town haul. I won't quote you a stopwatch guarantee I can't keep, but being this close is the honest reason I can usually be at a Cremorne address quickly, day or night. Call me on 0430 604 036 and I'll tell you straight away where I am and how long I'll be.

What locals say

“Locked myself out at 11pm with a sleeping toddler inside and panicking. Rang and Dave was at my door within 35 minutes, calm and reassuring. Had the door open in minutes without any damage. Honest, upfront pricing too. Absolute lifesaver, cannot recommend highly enough.”
— Sarah M., Neutral Bay via Google
“Just moved into our new place and wanted all the locks rekeyed for peace of mind. Dave came out the next morning, sorted every door plus the garage, and explained exactly what he was doing. Quick, tidy and very fairly priced. Genuinely lovely bloke to deal with.”
— James T., Mosman via Google
“Lost my only car key and was dreading the dealership cost. Dave cut and programmed a new key in my driveway for a fraction of the quote I got elsewhere. Friendly, professional and knew his stuff. Saved me a fortune and a whole lot of stress. Brilliant service.”
— Priya K., Cremorne via Google
Cremorne FAQs

Good to know

I'm locked out of my apartment off Military Road right now — how fast can you get here?

Ring me on 0430 604 036 and I'll come straight from Neutral Bay, which is only minutes from Cremorne. I won't promise a fixed number of minutes I can't honestly keep, but being this local is exactly why I can usually be at a Cremorne door quickly, 24/7. When you call I'll tell you where I am and roughly how long.

Can you get me into one of the older Art Deco blocks with a shared front entrance?

Yes. Cremorne's inter-war blocks are some of my most common jobs, so I'm familiar with their shared lobbies, original door hardware and the way the common locks are set up. If it's a common-property door, I may need the building manager or strata's okay, and I'll talk you through that on the phone.

My place is in a strata building — can you still change or rekey my lock?

In most cases, yes, for your own front door. Common-property doors and shared entries are usually the owners corporation's call, so for those I'll liaise with your strata manager or building manager — something I do regularly for Cremorne buildings. I'll always check what's yours to change before I start.

I've lost my car key near the Hayden Orpheum — can you sort it without a tow?

Usually, yes. I do automotive key and transponder work kerbside, so for many makes I can cut and program a replacement on the spot rather than having the car towed to a dealer. Tell me the make, model and year when you call and I'll let you know what I can do.

We've just bought a semi near Cremorne Point — should we change the locks?

It's a sensible move when you don't know who else holds a key. Rather than replacing everything, I can often just rekey the existing locks so old keys stop working and you've got one new key for the household. On a period home I'll keep the look in mind and only suggest changes that actually add security.
