Can you make my whole house work on one key?

Usually, yes. Compatible locks are rekeyed alike, and odd brands can have a matching cylinder fitted.

Do you fit locks to sliding doors?

Yes. We repair sliding door latches and add secondary locks such as key-locked bolts or anti-lift blocks.

What lock is best for a front door?

For most homes, a quality deadlatch with deadlocking, or a deadlatch paired with a separate deadbolt, gives good security and an easy exit.

Do you work for real estate agents?

Yes. We rekey and repair locks for agents and owners, and can coordinate access with renters.

Homes around Burwood East

The area has a mix of 1960s and 1970s brick veneer houses, newer townhouse developments and units near Burwood Highway and Middleborough Road. Older houses often still have their original single-cylinder locks and timber frames that have moved over the decades. Newer townhouses tend to have aluminium sliding doors and deadlatches that lock automatically, which is why lockouts are common.

Moving into a new home

When you buy or rent a home you have no idea how many keys exist. Previous owners, their family, tenants, cleaners and tradespeople may all have had copies. Rekeying the external locks on moving day is one of the simplest security steps you can take, and keying them alike means one key for the whole house.

Safety as well as security

A deadlock that needs a key on the inside can trap people in a fire. For bedroom-side doors and main exits, we usually recommend locks with an internal turn knob or a deadlatch with a key-only outside function. We talk through how your household uses each door before recommending anything.

Rentals and property managers

We work for owners, renters and agents. Victorian minimum standards require external entry doors in rentals to be lockable with a functioning deadlock unless an exemption applies, so we often replace worn deadlocks during inspections or between tenancies. Renters should get consent before changing locks.
