Pinnacle Locksmiths Whananaki
A remote coastal settlement north of the Tutukaka Coast, joined north to south by one of the longest footbridges in the country.
Locksmith work in Whananaki is shaped by two things: salt, and properties that sit empty.
What we get called out to in Whananaki
A long way from town, so we bring the workshop with us and finish the job on the first visit.
This is genuinely remote, and the footbridge that joins the two halves is a walking route rather than a driving one. Everything about a visit here has to be planned properly, which means asking the right questions before setting off rather than after arriving.
Worth knowing in Whananaki: Give us as much detail as you can when you book - the make of the lock, a photo of the door, which side of the inlet you are on. Out here that detail is the difference between one trip and two.
We come out to the coast constantly, and we would rather fit something once that lasts than something cheap twice.

Questions
Locksmith services in Whananaki - your questions
Do you actually come out to Whananaki?
Yes - Whananaki is part of our normal Whangarei 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.
Why do my locks seize up here and not in town?
Salt. Air this close to the water works its way into a cylinder and stiffens it, and Whananaki gets a full dose of it. A key that has started needing a wiggle is usually several months of warning.
What payment do you take?
Our technicians carry mobile EFTPOS which takes credit cards, and we offer Afterpay - useful when a lost key was not something anybody had budgeted for.
