Highly recommend Temple Locksmiths! Mischa came out to fix my electronic door lock after the inside panel had been reinstalled incorrectly. He quickly worked out the problem, fitted everything back properly, and had the lock working perfectly again within about 10 minutes. He was friendly, professional and clearly knew what he was doing. The price was also very reasonable. Really happy with the service and would definitely recommend Mischa and Temple Locksmiths to anyone needing a reliable locksmith.

I would highly recommend Temple Locksmiths & Security. The advice and professional conduct was extremely appreciated. Mischa took time to understand my concerns, then offered simple to understand solutions. Temple Locksmiths and Security, 10 out of 10. Thanks Mischa.

Not good my back door fly screen won’t lock and my front door will not lock. I would like this rectified asap. I paid for brand new locks that have failed me, so very disappointed, please fix.

Response from the owner:Hello Carolyn, Thank you for your review. For clarity, I would like to provide some context regarding the history of the work carried out at your property. I first attended your property on 25 October 2024, when I retrofitted your new screen door locks and a new keyed cylinder was installed to your vintage front door deadlatch. At the time, the locks were installed and operating to your satisfaction. In April 2025, you contacted me to advise that the locks were not engaging correctly with the door frame. I noted that your weatherboard house, which is built on stumps, had moved and that the doors were no longer aligning correctly with the striker plates. I attended again on 10 April 2025, adjusted the striker plates, and had the doors and locks operating correctly again. In around late April/May 2026, you contacted me again. I responded to you on two occasions but received no further response. I subsequently contacted you a third time, at which point you advised that you were in hospital and would contact me when you were able to. I completely understood your circumstances and was happy to wait. However, I received no further communication from you until this review was posted. I have always been willing to assist you and have never refused to attend to any issues relating to the work I carried out. As with any property built on stumps, movement of the building can affect the alignment and operation of doors and locks over time. I have previously attended your property to make the necessary adjustments and have always been happy to assist. If you are still experiencing an issue, I am more than happy to discuss it with you and arrange a time to inspect the problem. I would much rather have the opportunity to address any concerns directly than have them remain unresolved. Please feel free to contact me at any time. Thank you, Mischa Temple Locksmiths & Security

Faultless service – responsive, quick, reliable. Misha unlocked my antique cabinet without damaging anything by ‘picking’ the lock then produced a new key onsite, all in a short time. The lock & key actually work more smoothly. Couldn’t recommend more highly.
Response from the owner:Hello Meredith, thanks for the opportunity to assist you opening your antique cabinet in Doreen and then producing a new 'old school' mortice key so as it will continue to offer many years of service to you. Thank you for your review.

Response from the owner:Hello Michael, I appreciate your review.

Mischa certainly knows what his doing and he’s a very affable person too. Came out on a Saturday morning and had us fixed in an hour. Thanks, Allen
Response from the owner:Thank you for the review of the business Allen and reaching out to our Emergency After Hours service. When you called and indicated you had just returned from an interstate trip and the access to your property was difficult and the door was not unlocking properly, once onsite we could diagnose that the original locks needed upgrading due to wear and tear. New quality Australian made parts were installed and your property in Kangaroo Ground is again safe, secure and working reliably. Thank you.

Mischa was great to deal with. Rang me on a Sunday out of hours and discussed what was needed after our front door lock shat itself. Arrived on the Monday and replaced our front door old lock whilst also adding in an extra electronic lock after we discussed the benefits of them. His quotes were very reasonable and job complete to a high quality and all done in the same day.
Response from the owner:Hi Matt, I appreciate your review. With your new high quality Italian mortice lock and keyed cylinder in Polished Brass finish to retrofit the old worn Chinese products that failed you, in addition to adding a new cutting edge keyless digital deadbolt to the door you can be assured of many years of trouble free security for your premises in Eltham. Thank you.

From the very first phone call enquiry to job end Mischa was absolutely teriffic. Professional, punctual, quality workmanship and great communication. Replaced our obsolete 40 + year old window closers with brand new locks all keyed identically. Great care was taken inside our house and Mischa shared his vast knowledge and tips to help our old windows close properly. I will definitely be calling you again very soon for my next project. Thankyou Mischa for making my babies home safer. I am a very happy and grateful mumma😁
