For over four decades, Armstrong Smarter Security has been protecting what matters most to New Zealanders, their homes, businesses, and vehicles. Locally owned and proudly operated, we've built a reputation on reliability, professionalism, and genuine care. Today, with a nationwide network and 15 stores across the country, we're just around the corner when you need us.
Whether you're dealing with a lockout, upgrading your security systems, or looking for expert advice, Armstrong brings the tools, technology, and trusted experience to every job.
Our story began in 1980, in a basement in Birkenhead, Auckland. With a Morris 1000 van, a telephone line, and two founding team members, Armstrong was created with one goal: to provide trustworthy, local locksmithing and security support.
That single location grew quickly. One workshop became many, and our fleet of mobile vans expanded across Auckland, Wellington, Canterbury, Nelson, Manawatū, and more. Today, we're proud to serve customers from urban centres to rural communities with the same dedication that started it all.
Security technology is always evolving, and so are we. Every Armstrong technician is a licensed locksmith who undergoes regular training to stay on top of industry advancements, from smart locks and CCTV to advanced access control systems. This commitment ensures that our team delivers the right solution, using the latest methods, with the professionalism our clients expect. You'll always see us in uniform, in clearly marked vans, and with the skills to complete your job quickly and correctly, the first time.
We may be local, but our reach is national. Armstrong operates with over 15 stores and a mobile fleet of fully equipped vans, ready to respond to security needs wherever you are. Each van is manned by licensed, uniformed technicians, professionals trained in traditional locksmithing and the latest electronic security systems.
We don't just install locks or alarms. We deliver peace of mind. That means standing behind every service with:
From key cutting and rekeying to alarm installations and electronic door systems, Armstrong is equipped to handle every type of job, big or small.
