Sometimes there is nothing to fix, because there is nothing there. A back door on a single latch, a window that has never locked, a new gate, a shed holding several thousand dollars of tools and a padbolt from the 1980s.
Call Now: 03 4821 3333The bolt is rarely the weak point - the timber and the screws holding the strike are. We reinforce the frame where it needs it, because a well-fitted mid-range lock beats an expensive one bolted into soft pine.
On the right door they are genuinely good. On a door that moves with the weather, or a frame that cannot hold alignment, they are an expensive way to get locked out. We fit them, and we will also tell you when yours is the second kind of door.
Window locks, patio bolts, gate locks, security screens and secondary bolts. On the bush blocks at Warrandyte and Park Orchards and the acreage around Moorooduc and Baxter, the shed and the gate carry more risk than the front door ever will, and insurers increasingly ask about both.
Ring now. We quote on the call and send the nearest van in your zone.
For most homes in either zone, a quality deadbolt with a solid strike bedded into reinforced timber. Past that it depends on the door's construction and how the household actually uses it.
Yes. We will look at it against the door first and tell you honestly if it is the wrong choice before it goes on rather than after.
A well-chosen one keeps working - internal batteries, with a mechanical key override as the fallback. We only fit models that have a sensible answer to this question.
