Your locksmith from Rosebud to Portsea
Excellent Locksmiths covers the whole southern Mornington Peninsula, from McCrae and Rosebud through Rye, Blairgowrie and Sorrento to Portsea, and across to the ocean side at St Andrews Beach, Fingal and Cape Schanck. We’re fully mobile and come to you, working from our Safety Beach base.
The southern peninsula is a mix of permanent homes, holiday houses and short-stay rentals, and that shapes most of our work here: rekeying between guests, spare keys for cleaners and managers, lockboxes, and locks that have seized after months of salt air with nobody home.

Holiday homes and rentals
If you own a holiday house or a short-stay rental on the southern peninsula, the most useful things we do are:
- Rekeying at the end of each season, or whenever a key isn’t returned.
- Keying every door alike, so guests and cleaners need only one key.
- Restricted keys that can’t be copied without your written authority.
- Keypad locks, so you change a code between guests instead of keys.
- Opening jammed lockboxes and letting guests in, once you’ve confirmed their details.

Salt air and empty houses
Locks on the southern peninsula wear faster than inland, especially on the ocean side. Homes that sit empty for weeks don’t get used, and the locks seize. A quick service before summer, cleaning, lubricating and adjusting each lock, saves a lot of locked-out guests in January.
