About Shore Doors Locksmiths

The installer the professionals already use — now a full-service locksmith for everyone

Our story

Shore Doors built its name the unglamorous way. For years we were the installation partner that Auckland's access control companies and builders called when the hardware had to go in right — the locks, maglocks, electric strikes, drop bolts and door hardware behind hospitals, banks, schools, libraries and train stations.

That work taught us what people actually want from a tradesperson: turn up when you said you would, tell them the truth, do the job properly and leave the place tidy. It is how we won the trust of the trade, and it is the same standard we bring to every front door, office and shop we work on today.

Now we are a full-service locksmith business, open to homeowners and businesses directly — fully mobile, covering the North Shore for residential work and greater Auckland for commercial.

How far we've come

From a small install crew to the locksmith the professionals already trust.

  1. 1

    Where it started

    A small install crew fitting door hardware for builders — turning up on time, doing it properly and leaving the site clean.

  2. 2

    Trusted by the trade

    Auckland's access control companies and builders started calling us when the hardware had to go in right. Hospitals, banks, schools, libraries and train stations followed.

  3. 3

    A specialty of our own

    We became the only business in Auckland certified to install and service the AHS A200 door actuator — automatic door opening we regularly deliver for disabled customers through ACC.

  4. 4

    Open to everyone

    Today we are a full-service locksmith for homeowners and businesses directly — lockouts, rekeying, key cutting, repairs and upgrades — alongside the commercial work we are known for.

Service comes first

Anyone can fit a lock. What keeps customers coming back is how they are looked after from the first call to the last screw — so that is what we put at the centre of the business.

A real person answers

Call us and you talk to the people doing the work, not a call centre.

Straight answers

Clear prices before we start, and honest advice — even when the answer is "you don't need a new lock".

We turn up

When we give you a time, we keep it. If something changes, you hear it from us first.

Treat it like our own

Tidy work, no mess left behind, and a 12-month workmanship guarantee on everything we do.

"We have worked with Hugh and the Shoredoors team on multiple projects in the Auckland region. The team has always been on time and worked to a high professional standard!"
