Richmond Locksmith Services
About
Richmond Locksmith Services operates as a locally owned business in Nelson, founded and managed by Kris and Lou Hodgson. The operation draws on 25 years of combined expertise, with a dedicated team focused on personalised service rather than franchise-style operations. The business excels across multiple service areas. Automotive locksmith work includes key cutting, spare key supply, and access solutions, complemented by AA Roadservice accreditation—meaning AA members receive up to $40–$100 coverage for lockout assistance. Residential clients benefit from key cutting, lock installation, security upgrades including window stays, garage remote solutions, and pool compliance work. Installation expertise extends to architectural projects, with proprietor Kris recognised for meticulous fitout work across materials from aluminium joinery to cedar. The commercial division partners with Salto for access control systems and handles large-scale projects with competitive turnaround times. A distinguishing feature is Richmond Locksmith's electronic lock offerings—available online with installation services, eliminating the need to visit the physical shop. The McGlashen Avenue location stocks display locks and hardware while supporting consultations for new builds and renovations. The business positions itself as an accessible alternative to larger competitors, maintaining focus on both minor residential requests and substantial commercial contracts.
