Ephraim Locksmiths is a trusted, family-run locksmith with years of hands-on experience. Licensed, insured and locally operated — we treat your property with the same care we'd give our own.
Honest Work, Every Time
From home lockouts to commercial security upgrades, Ephraim Locksmiths delivers trusted, careful service across Johannesburg — with honest pricing and a personal approach on every job.
From a mid-morning lockout to re-securing the house after moving in, our team gets your home sorted without a hard sell — just an honest fix for the door in front of us.
We work around your trading hours, not the other way round — fitting access control, upgrading door hardware and cutting staff keys with minimal disruption to your business.
Keys locked inside, snapped in the ignition, or gone missing altogether — we come to wherever your car is and sort transponder and remote keys on most makes and models.
Doesn't matter what time it is — someone from our family picks up. We're on call around the clock for lockouts and break-in damage, and we get to you fast.
Lost the combination or the lock's just stopped working? We open most household and office safes without cutting or drilling, and repair the mechanism where we can.
Spare set for the kids, a key for the cleaner, or a replacement for a high-security cylinder — we cut it precisely the first time, standard and transponder keys alike.

Customer Reviews
Don't just take our word for it — here's what our customers have to say about Ephraim Locksmiths.
"Called Ephraim Locksmiths on a Sunday when I'd locked myself out with the kids still in the car. Whoever answered the phone actually sounded like they cared — not just reading off a script."
"Asked for a quote on rekeying after we bought the house and they gave me a straight number over the phone — no call-out surprise once the van arrived. Appreciated that."
"Our office door lock jammed shut with half the team still inside. Ephraim Locksmiths got someone out within the hour and didn't try to sell us a whole new door mechanism we didn't need."
"Snapped my key in the ignition on a Friday afternoon. They came to the parking lot, sorted it there, and didn't charge a fortune for the inconvenience of the timing."
"Old safe left behind by the previous tenant with no combination anywhere. They opened it without a mark on it and reset the code for us before they left."
"Been using them for a couple of years now for spare keys and the odd lock issue. Same guy most times, always on time, always fair on price."
Common Questions
It's genuinely how we're run — you'll likely deal with the same one or two people call to call, not a rotating call centre. That's deliberate; it's how we keep the work personal.
Our pricing is quoted upfront before we start, whatever the hour. We'd rather tell you the number on the phone than surprise you once the van is already outside.
We'll tell you. If a simple repair solves the problem, we won't push a full lock replacement just because it's a bigger job — that's not how we want to be known.
Yes, alongside standard duplication we handle high-security cylinder keys and transponder/remote keys for most vehicle makes.
Both — residential lockouts and lock upgrades, plus commercial work like office access and master key systems, all handled by the same team.
It depends on where you are and what's happening elsewhere that day, but we treat lockouts and emergencies as the priority they are and move fast.
