About Toowoomba Locksmiths

Hi I’m Nathan,

I’m the proud owner of Toowoomba Locksmiths. I’ve lived in Toowoomba all my life and love the friendly, family vibe the town has. Growing up, I always knew I wanted to complete a trade, and I knew it was a fantastic opportunity when I was offered a locksmith apprenticeship back in 2006. Once I had completed my apprenticeship, I continued to work for Toowoomba Locksmiths and was given the opportunity to purchase the business. I have found it to be one of the best decisions I have ever made, as it has allowed me to expand my skills and build up a business I am proud of. I am grateful to be part of an industry that allows me to promote the abilities of my team and help improve the security of my customers.

When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me spending time with my family or out on the golf course. I love being outdoors, catching up with mates, and spending time with family.

Hello, my name is Jake.

I’ve lived in Toowoomba my whole life and started my career as a locksmith at Toowoomba Locksmiths and have never looked back. I enjoy managing the team here and teaching the apprentices all there is to know about the trade. This job has its own unique challenges, which makes finishing each job even more rewarding. My favourite part about this job would be finding our customers the best solutions for their situation and the great people I get to work with every day.

When I’m not at work I enjoy going to the gym and spending time with my family and mates.

I specialise in and am passionate about:

• Day-to-day shop operation – managing qualified Locksmiths, teaching Apprentices, and cultivating a friendly and efficient workplace
• Residential Security including Access Control, Prowler Proof security screens and lock upgrades
• Residential re-keys
• Residential and Commercial Gain Entry
• Residential and Commercial locks – servicing, replacement, repair, and maintenance
• Creation and management of Restricted and Master Key Systems
• Automotive key repair and replacement (my favourite task)
• Safe installation, restoration, removal, servicing, replacement, repair, and maintenance

Meet our reigning maestro of manners and master of multitasking— Charli!

She’s the friendly face behind the desk, the voice that keeps our communication flowing smoother than a perfectly brewed cup of coffee, and the logistics wizard who can organise chaos into a perfectly choreographed symphony. Whether you’re calling for a quick question, dropping by with a smile, or just need someone to marvel at their uncanny ability to find any document in the blink of an eye, she’s your go-to.

When she’s not juggling schedules or answering calls faster than you can say “appointment,” she’s probably plotting her next coffee break or perfecting her desk feng shui.

Beyond the office, she’s a metal concert enthusiast who’s been front-row at more gigs than she has been late to meetings. A traveller and art lover at heart, she finds beauty in the unexpected, and her sharp sarcasm keeps the guys on their toes (and often gets a laugh).

Say hi, wave, or just send her a snack; she’s here to make your day easier and a lot more secure!

G ‘Day! My name is Jamie.

I moved to Toowoomba back in 2023 and enjoy my position here as a qualified Locksmith Technician. My role rewards me with extensive job variety, and the opportunity to assist and meet new people on a daily basis. My trade has also helped me gain valuable knowledge and experience working in various locations such as Western Australia and the Northern Territory. Outside of work, I am very much an outdoor enthusiast with interests such as hiking mountains, bushwalking, kayaking, fishing, cycling and relaxing around a campfire.

Having spent many years in the industry, I have a plethora of experience dealing with domestic, commercial and industrial locks and door hardware.

I am particularly skilled at providing recommendations for security upgrades, including implementing and maintaining restricted master key systems.

I am also experienced in the installation, removal and servicing of safes, both free standing and in-ground, with a keen interest in installing and maintaining mechanical & digital combination locks.

Anything with a keypad, dial or code is no match for my expertise!

I am passionate about fostering safe and ethical work standards and can often be heard around the shop busting out in song or having a laugh with the guys.

Hi, my name is Cody.

Being a Locksmith allows me to solve problems and help people in moments of stress or urgency, and this is something that I love. Whether it’s unlocking a car, repairing a home lock, or installing ProwlerProof security screens, every job brings a new challenge that keeps the work interesting and rewarding. I take pride in using my hands and tools to provide a valuable service, often bringing relief and peace of mind to someone who’s locked out, or concerned about security. There’s a sense of trust and responsibility in the profession, and I enjoy knowing that my skills make a real difference in people’s daily lives.

I find great satisfaction in the diverse aspects of Locksmithing, particularly the fresh-fitting of locks of all kinds, which offers a constant challenge, and the joy of precision work as I need to ensure that each lock is perfectly tailored to its door.

The opportunity to perform commercial lock upgrades, maintenance, and repairs allow me to exercise critical problem-solving skills and provide peace of mind to business owners who rely on robust security measures to protect their livelihood. Additionally, installing security screen doors and windows gives me a sense of contribution to the safety and aesthetic appeal of a property, knowing that my work combines both functional security enhancements and a pleasing visual element.

Outside of work I’m a passionate artist, and you can often find me detailing motorbike helmets and other various items.
