Locks that suit your home, your insurer and the way you live.
Your front door lock is the cheapest piece of security you will ever buy, and the most used. We change, repair and upgrade locks across every kind of Sydney home: heritage terraces with original mortice locks, apartments with building compliant cylinders, and new builds that came with the cheapest hardware the developer could find. Every job ends with keys that turn smoothly and a door that locks the way it should.

Residential Locksmith: common questions
Policies vary, so check your schedule, but many ask for deadlocks on external doors and key operated locks on accessible windows. We can fit to that standard and give you an invoice listing exactly what was installed, which is useful if you ever need to make a claim.
Usually, yes. We fit modern security behind period style furniture, so the front of the house keeps its character while the lock itself is current. Original mortice locks can often be serviced rather than replaced.
Yes. With our background working alongside builders and carpenters we are comfortable with full fit outs: boring and mortising new doors, fitting strikes and hinge bolts, and setting everything up so it works smoothly from day one.
