Pinnacle Locksmiths Paihia
The Bay of Islands’ tourism hub, a waterfront town of motels, holiday rentals and charter boats just south of Waitangi.
Locksmith work in Paihia is shaped by two things: salt, and properties that sit empty.
What we get called out to in Paihia
Accommodation above all - keyless entry and code changes between guests, and lockouts when a guest loses the key.
Paihia runs on accommodation, and accommodation runs on turnover. Motels, holiday rentals and B&Bs here change occupants constantly, which makes key handovers the single biggest time cost of the whole operation - and lockouts a regular part of the season.
Worth knowing in Paihia: If you let out more than one unit in Paihia, price up keypads with per-guest codes properly. The saving is not the hardware, it is the hours you currently spend meeting people at the door.
We are out this way regularly, and the van carries hardware chosen for salt rather than for a catalogue photograph.

Questions
Locksmith services in Paihia - your questions
Do you actually come out to Paihia?
Yes - Paihia is part of our normal Kerikeri run rather than a special trip, and we are there regularly. The van comes to you, so there is nothing to bring in and nothing to tow.
My place is empty most of the year. Can you still get in to do the work?
Yes, and we do it constantly for bach owners. Arrange access however suits - a neighbour, a property manager, or a code - and we will report back on what we found and what we did.
Will you want to see identification?
Yes, and you should want us to. For a house we need something linking you to the address; for a vehicle, photo ID and proof of ownership. It is the check that stops somebody else getting a key to your property in Paihia.
