Cape Town's Residential Locksmith Services You Can Count On
Home security is personal. Whether you’ve lost your keys, moved into a new place, or need to upgrade your locks, you want the job done properly the first time. You also want peace of mind—knowing your home is secure and the person you’ve hired is qualified, reliable, and easy to work with.
At Omnia Locks, our residential locksmith services are built around exactly that. You’ll get help from trained locksmiths who arrive on time, work efficiently, and charge fair prices. We come to you, work on-site, and provide practical solutions—without wasting your time.
Your Home Security Matters
Your home is where your family rests, where your valuables are stored, and where you should always feel safe. When something goes wrong with a lock or key, it’s not just inconvenient—it can leave you feeling vulnerable.
We can help when:
- You’re locked out and need to get back in
- You’ve moved into a new home and want to replace old locks
- Your keys are lost and you're worried about who might have them
- You need spare keys cut for family, staff, or guests
- A lock is broken or difficult to use
We understand these situations are often stressful. That’s why we act quickly, professionally, and without adding pressure or unnecessary costs.
Locked Out of Your Home? We’ll Get You In
It’s easy to close the door behind you and realise your keys are still inside. Whether it’s early morning, late at night, or midday, being locked out is never convenient.
We offer fast, non-destructive lock-opening services. That means we’ll unlock your door without breaking the lock or damaging the frame. Once you’re safely inside, we can discuss lock replacements if necessary—but only if you want them.
One call, and help is on the way.
Changing Locks After a Move or Break-In
If you’ve just moved into a new home, it’s hard to know how many people still have spare keys. Former tenants, contractors, domestic staff, it’s common for extras to be unaccounted for.
We recommend changing or rekeying all locks when moving in. It’s a simple step that gives you full control and long-term peace of mind.
Had a break-in or attempted entry? We’ll assess the condition of your current locks and install stronger, more secure options where needed.
Mobile Locksmith Service – We Come to You
Our fully mobile service means we bring everything to you. No need to leave your home or uninstall locks. We arrive with:
- Lock replacement kits
- A wide range of lock brands and styles
- Key cutting machines
- Door hardware
- Rekeying tools
After the job, we test everything with you and make sure your locks work smoothly before we leave.
Need New Locks or Security Upgrades?
Locks wear out. Others simply don’t offer enough protection for today’s risks. We install and replace locks for:
- Front doors
- Security gates
- Sliding doors
- Garage doors
- Internal doors
- Sheds or outbuildings
You can match your current hardware or upgrade to more secure alternatives. We’ll explain your options clearly—no pressure, just honest advice.
Spare Keys and Key Cutting
Whether you’re giving keys to family, staff, or a trusted neighbour, the copies must work perfectly. Poorly cut keys can damage locks or jam them over time.
We cut accurate, high-quality keys for:
- Standard house keys
- Security keys (with proof of ownership)
- Padlocks
- Garage doors and gates
Lost your only copy? We can often cut a new key directly from the lock.
Why Choose a Professional Residential Locksmith?
Trying to fix a lock yourself might seem cheaper, but it can lead to more damage or poor security. It often costs more to fix DIY mistakes.
Here’s what you get with us:
Years of experience
Respect for your property
Tools to handle older, modern, and high-security locks
Fast, neat, and professional work
Friendly, down-to-earth service
Common Problems We Solve
Not every problem needs a full replacement. We often repair:
Stiff or jammed locks
Keys that won’t turn
Broken keys stuck inside
Locks that spin but don’t lock
Doors that won’t latch
When Should You Replace Your Locks?
It might be time to replace your locks if:
- Your keys were lost or stolen
- Someone moved out and you want to restrict access
- The lock feels loose, stiff, or damaged
- There’s been a burglary or break-in attempt
- You’re upgrading to high-security or smart locks
- The current lock brand is outdated or unsupported
We’ll recommend suitable replacements based on your needs and budget.
