An aluminium sliding door lock like those on many Blockhouse Bay homes and units.Mobile Locksmith Service for Blockhouse Bay
Blockhouse Bay looks out over the Manukau Harbour, and many of its homes were built from the 1950s to the 1970s, alongside blocks of units and ownership flats. Almost every one has at least one aluminium ranch slider, and sliding door locks are some of the hardest-working locks in the house.
We come to you with the tools and common parts on board. You pay a flat NZ$20 call-out fee, and we quote every job on site before work starts.
What Blockhouse Bay Customers Call Us For
Around Blockhouse Bay, these are the calls we get most often:
- Ranch slider locks: sliding doors that won't latch, locks that have stopped catching, or lost keys. Our lock repair service fixes or replaces them.
- Locked out of the house: homes, units and flats with doors that lock behind you, opened through our emergency lockout service with non-destructive entry first.
- Rekeys between tenants: landlords and property managers use our rekeying service so the last tenant's keys stop working.
- Old doorknob locks: if you need to change house locks, our lock replacement service swaps key-in-knob locks for a proper deadbolt.
An older key-in-knob entrance lock of the kind still found on many Blockhouse Bay units.Upgrading Locks on Older Units
Lots of older units still rely on a key-in-knob lock on the front door. They're convenient, but the latch is short and easy to force, and the knob itself can be twisted off. Adding a deadbolt, or replacing the set with a deadbolt and lever handle, is one of the most effective security upgrades for the money.
If you own several units on one site, master rekeying means each tenant's key opens only their own unit, while your key opens them all. Prefer codes to keys? We also offer digital door lock installation, with codes you can change between tenants.

Blockhouse Bay Locksmith FAQs
Answers to the questions Blockhouse Bay customers ask us most.
Can you fix a ranch slider that won't lock?
Usually, yes. It's often a worn lock, a hook that no longer lines up with the keeper, or a door that has dropped on its rollers. We diagnose it on site and quote the repair.
Can I get a key for my sliding door lock?
Yes. If the lock takes a key, we can cut one or replace the cylinder. If it's a snib-only lock, we can fit a keyed sliding door lock instead.
Can you key a block of units so I have one master key?
Often, yes. Each unit gets its own key and the owner's key opens all of them. We check the existing locks and quote any cylinders that need changing.
How much is a locksmith call-out in Blockhouse Bay?
A flat NZ$20, the same as anywhere else in Auckland. The work is quoted on site before we start, and work outside normal hours costs a bit more.
