New Zealand · September 2026
Someone searching for a locksmith is often locked out right now, standing outside their own house or car, and about to let a stranger pick their lock. Your website’s job is to remove that worry in seconds. We build it first, from what is already public about you, and then give it to you. It costs nothing to have and nothing to keep.
“Locksmith near me open now”, “locked out of house”, “car key locksmith”: this is one of the most urgent searches a trade website ever has to answer, usually from a phone, usually within minutes of the problem starting.
That changes what the website is for. It is not there to be read. It is there so someone standing outside their own front door can see, in two seconds, a real phone number that gets answered and some reason to trust the person who is about to pick their lock.
There is no government licence for locksmiths in New Zealand, which makes it a trade where anyone can put up a sign. Membership of the Master Locksmiths Association of Australasia (MLAA) is the real industry accreditation to point at instead — it is worth naming clearly if you hold it, because most of your competitors will not.
Someone letting a locksmith into a lockout situation has no way to check who they are dealing with. Naming your MLAA membership, or plainly stating you are not a member if that is the truth, is the kind of honesty that stands out in a trade with no register to check against.
Nothing. We build the page from what is already public about your business and send you the link. If you want it, we put it live and you pay us nothing for it. There is no card, no trial, and no fee that starts later. It sits at an address of ours, not your own domain name, and it carries one line at the bottom saying we built it.
It asks one thing of you. Once a year we send one message asking whether the details are still right, and two reminders over the month after it. If we cannot reach you, the page comes down — a page with your name and a wrong phone number on it is worse for you than no page at all. It also comes down when you ask, for any reason or none, within five New Zealand working days at the latest, and we will not ask you why.
The only thing you can pay for is changes made for you. You message us a new price, new hours, a holiday closure or a photo of the new van, and we make the change, within five New Zealand working days at the latest. That is NZ$299 for the year, and it includes your own domain name registered in your business name and email on it. No monthly fee, no minimum term, and it does not renew itself. No GST is added. The full terms are here.
If somebody else would suit you better — and for plenty of locksmiths they would — we have listed every option we could find, with the price each company publishes on its own site: who should build your website.
We build the first version of your page from your Google Business Profile, your Facebook page, and anything else already public about your business, then send you the link. You look at it before anything happens. If you do not want it we take it down, you owe nothing, and we will not contact you about it again.
If you have not claimed your Google Business Profile yet, It matters even more for a locksmith than for most trades, because there is no licence at all, and MLAA membership is the one real signal that separates an accredited operator from anyone with a van and a sign. The walkthrough is here: how to claim your Google Business Profile in New Zealand.
Being straight with you: we build and host the website, not your Google Business Profile, because that needs a verified New Zealand address and we are not in New Zealand. The walkthrough above covers the whole process yourself; it takes about twenty minutes and it is free.
Yes, if you hold it. There is no government licence for locksmiths in New Zealand, so MLAA membership is the real accreditation to point at, and naming it is one of the fastest ways to stand out from a competitor who is not a member.
A phone number that gets answered any time, the towns you cover, and whether you handle homes, cars or both. Speed and a real answer matter more than a paragraph about your company history.
Yes. Residential, commercial and automotive locksmithing sit close enough together in how people search when locked out that the same page structure works for all of them.
For a lot of trades, a Facebook page covers most of what people need day to day. What it does not do well is show up when someone searches your trade and town on Google rather than on Facebook, and it can look less permanent to someone checking you out before they call. We wrote the comparison up properly here: Facebook page or website, for a New Zealand trade business. If you are not showing up in a search at all — not even for your own business name — here is why, in the order it usually happens.
Send us your business name and the town. We will tell you honestly whether we can build one, and if we can, we email you the link to look at. There is nothing to pay at any point for the page itself.

Send us your business name and the town. We will tell you honestly whether we can build one — this is one person, so we cannot build for everyone who asks. Either way there is nothing to pay.
