What is the most effective home security upgrade?

For most homes, a well-fitted deadbolt with a reinforced strike plate on each external door.

Are high-security locks worth it?

For businesses and homes needing tight key control, yes. For many homes a quality standard lock is enough.

Do you do security assessments?

Yes. We walk through each entry point and give you a prioritised list of practical improvements.

Will security upgrades affect my insurance?

Some insurers require deadlocks or window locks. Check your policy, and we can fit hardware to meet those requirements.

Security Locksmith in Burwood East

Good security is not about the most expensive lock. It is about removing the easy options a burglar looks for: a weak strike plate, a back door hidden from the street, a sliding door that can be lifted out of its track, or windows with no locks at all. We look at the whole property and recommend the changes that make the biggest difference for the money.

Where security usually fails

Most forced entries do not defeat the lock. The door frame gives way around the strike, the door is kicked at the hinge side, or entry is made through a window or sliding door. A strong lock in a weak frame is only as strong as the frame. That is why we always look at the door, frame and strike, not just the lock.

Upgrades that matter most

For most homes the best improvements are a properly fitted deadbolt with a reinforced strike, keyed window locks on ground-floor windows, and secondary locks on sliding doors. Security screen doors with good locks also help, especially on back doors hidden from neighbours.

High-security cylinders

High-security cylinders resist picking, bumping and snapping, and usually come with restricted keys that cannot be copied without authorisation. They suit businesses, homes with valuable contents, and anyone who wants tight control over keys. For many homes a standard quality cylinder is enough, and we will tell you so.

After a break-in

After a break-in, people often want everything upgraded at once. We start by making the property secure that day, then talk through which further upgrades are worthwhile. Your insurer may have requirements for locks, so check your policy before deciding.
