Lock Installation & Deadlocks in Sunshine
New deadlocks, deadlatches and entry hardware, fitted to suit the door you actually have. Covering Sunshine 3020 and the surrounding Inner West, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Lock Installation & Deadlocks for Sunshine 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 Sunshine in particular
The housing is mostly postwar brick veneer, which takes standard hardware without difficulty. The recurring gap is the rear sliding door and the garage side door, which get less attention than the entry and are less overlooked from the street. Former industrial buildings converted to offices, studios and apartments carry hardware from a different catalogue — steel frames, roller shutters, and entries sized for a forklift rather than a front-door cylinder.
Getting to you
Working from the Richmond base, Sunshine 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.
Our coverage of Sunshine 3020 runs from Anderson Road, Market Road and Sunshine Road across to Sunshine Marketplace and Sunshine Plaza.

What it costs
We do not publish prices, because a jammed deadlock on a heritage door in Sunshine and a spring latch that has swung shut are not the same job and should not carry the same number. Quotes are free, given before we start, and there is no obligation.

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 Sunshine — common questions
How quickly can you get to Sunshine for lock installation & deadlocks?
30 minutes is the target. Working from the Richmond base, Sunshine 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.
