Security Doors & Window Locks — Melbourne
Front doors get attention. Windows, security screens, sliding doors and the side gate get almost none, and they are the openings most often used. This is unglamorous, inexpensive work that changes a house's security more than another deadbolt on a door that already has one.
What this covers
- Security screen and mesh door locks
- Window locks and keyed window latches
- Sliding door and stacker locks
- Patio bolts and secondary locking points
- Gate locks and latches
- Repairing security door hardware
- Locks that let you leave a window vented safely
How we work
Everything happens where the lock is. There is no shop, no counter and nothing for you to drop off — the key machines, the cylinders and the tools travel in the van, which is also why there is no closing time to work around.
You get the cost before any work starts. No prices are published on this site, deliberately: a real figure depends on the hardware, the door, the time of day and where you are, and a number on a web page would be wrong more often than it was right. What we will do is tell you on the phone what is likely, and confirm it in person before anything is touched.
We ask you to prove your right to the property or the vehicle on every single job, without exception. It is the same check that stops somebody doing this to your home.

Security & Window Locks — what people say
Locked myself out at 11pm with the baby asleep inside. He talked me through it on the phone, told me which van was closest, and had the door open without a mark on it. I was told what it would cost before he started, which at that hour is not what I expected.
Sarah M.Brunswick Rekeyed every lock in the house the week we moved in — front, back, laundry, garage side door — all onto one key. He also pointed out that the sliding door lock was basically decorative and sorted that while he was here.
Daniel K.Glen Waverley Lost the only key to my car in a basement car park. He came down to the car, cut and programmed a new one on the spot, no tow truck and no dealership. He asked for my registration papers first, which honestly made me trust him more, not less.

Security & Window Locks — questions
Can windows be locked and still open for air?
Yes. Restricted-opening hardware lets a window vent without opening far enough to climb through, which is the usual answer for bedrooms and for anyone who wants airflow on a hot Melbourne night.
My security door lock has stopped catching. Replace it?
Often it is the alignment rather than the lock — security doors sag on their hinges over time and the latch stops meeting the keeper. Adjustment first, replacement only if the hardware is genuinely finished.
Are the locks that came with my sliding door enough?
The standard catch on many sliding doors resists very little. A secondary bolt or a keyed lock at a second point makes a real difference, and it is one of the cheapest security improvements available on a house.
