Lock Installation & Deadlocks for Fitzroy North homes and businesses
Fitting a lock well matters more than the brand on the box. A deadbolt in a poorly prepared door, or a strike plate screwed into soft architrave rather than the frame stud, will fail at the first solid kick. We prepare the door and the frame properly, and we choose hardware that suits the stile, the swing and the building's rules.
Why Fitzroy North in particular
Most of the housing stock is single or double-fronted period terraces. Their original doors take mortice locks rather than the tubular deadbolts sold in hardware shops, and the frames have usually moved enough that the strike matters as much as the lock. Solid timber doors from this era are worth keeping, and usually can be — a rekey, a reinforced strike and long screws into the jamb do more than a replacement door would.

Lock Installation — what customers say
Illustrative examples — real reviews replace these at launch.
“Fitted a deadlock to a front door that had nothing but a latch. He reinforced the strike into the frame stud rather than the architrave, which I only learned matters that day.”
“Heritage overlay on our place and I was worried about what could be cut. He explained the options before touching the door.”
“Deadlock on the front, bolts on the sliding door, and a thumb-turn inside so nobody is hunting for a key in an emergency. Sensible work.”

Lock Installation & Deadlocks in Fitzroy North — common questions
How quickly can you get to Fitzroy North for lock installation & deadlocks?
30 minutes is the target. Working from the Richmond base, Fitzroy North is a straightforward run at most hours. It sits in the middle of our coverage, and the run is a short one at most hours. We give you a realistic arrival window on the phone rather than a number that sounds good.
Will you have to cut into my heritage door?
Only as much as the lock genuinely requires, and we will tell you first. Where a property is heritage-listed and a permit for the change has been refused, the rental standard itself recognises that as an exemption — the answer is different hardware, not a butchered door.
What is the difference between a deadlock and a deadlatch?
A deadlatch springs shut behind you and can be opened with a key or handle. A deadlock has a bolt you throw deliberately, which cannot be pushed back — that is what actually resists forced entry, and what the rental standard is asking for.
Can you fit a lock that does not need a key from the inside?
Yes, and on most entry doors that is what you want: a single-cylinder deadlock that is keyed outside and thumb-turn inside, so nobody is hunting for a key during a fire.
