Our Residential Locksmith Services

Lock Installation & Replacement

Installing quality locks is the foundation of home security. We supply and install high-quality deadbolts, mortise locks, lever sets, and specialty locks from trusted brands. Whether you're securing a new door, upgrading old locks, or need specialty locks for sliding doors or French doors, our residential locksmiths ensure proper installation that maximizes security and longevity.

Lock Rekeying Services

Rekeying is one of the most cost-effective ways to improve your home security. When you rekey a lock, we change the internal pins so that old keys no longer work, while providing you with new keys. This is perfect when you've moved into a new home, lost keys, or want to ensure previous owners or tenants can no longer access your property. Rekeying is typically faster and more affordable than complete lock replacement.

Key Duplication & Key Cutting

Need spare keys for family members or trusted friends? Our precision key cutting service creates duplicate keys that work smoothly every time. We can duplicate standard house keys, restricted keys (with proper authorization), and even specialty keys. All keys are cut to manufacturer specifications using professional equipment.

Master Key Systems

Master key systems provide convenience without compromising security. Perfect for multi-level homes or properties with rental units, a master key system allows you to have one key that opens multiple locks, while each lock also has its own unique key. This provides flexibility and control over who can access different areas of your property.

Security Assessments & Upgrades

Not sure how secure your home really is? We provide comprehensive home security assessments where we evaluate all entry points, identify vulnerabilities, and recommend practical improvements. From upgrading to high-security locks to installing window locks and reinforcing door frames, we create customized security solutions for your home and budget.

Smart Lock & Digital Lock Installation

Welcome to modern home security. Smart locks and digital locks eliminate the need for keys while providing enhanced security and convenience. Control access via smartphone apps, create temporary access codes for guests, and receive notifications when doors are opened. We install and program digital locks from leading brands including Samsung, Yale, and Lockwood.

Window Lock Installation

Windows are common entry points for break-ins. We install various window locks including sash window locks, sliding window locks, and casement window locks. Properly secured windows are a critical component of comprehensive home security that's often overlooked.

Mailbox & Letterbox Locks

Protect your mail and packages from theft with secure mailbox locks. We can replace broken mailbox locks, rekey existing locks, or upgrade to high-security mailbox systems that prevent unauthorized access and mail theft.

Home Security Tips from Perth's Residential Locksmiths

As experienced residential locksmiths, we've seen what works and what doesn't. Here are our top home security recommendations:

  1. Always Rekey When Moving: You never know who has copies of keys from previous owners
  2. Invest in Deadbolts: Quality deadbolts provide significantly better security than standard locks
  3. Secure All Entry Points: Don't forget side doors, garage doors, and windows
  4. Consider Smart Locks: Modern smart locks offer convenience and enhanced security features
  5. Reinforce Door Frames: Even the best lock is ineffective if the door frame is weak
  6. Install Security Lighting: Well-lit entry areas deter potential intruders
  7. Don't Hide Spare Keys: Common hiding spots are well-known to burglars
  8. Regular Maintenance: Lubricate locks annually and replace worn locks promptly

Understanding Residential Lock Types

Different entry points require different lock types. Here's what we commonly install in Perth homes:

Deadbolts

The gold standard for home security. Deadbolts extend deep into the door frame and can't be forced back like spring-loaded locks. We install single-cylinder deadbolts (key outside, turn knob inside) and double-cylinder deadbolts (key on both sides for doors with glass panels).

Mortise Locks

Common in older Perth homes, mortise locks fit into a pocket cut into the door. These robust locks often combine a latch and deadbolt in one unit, providing excellent security when properly maintained.

Smart Locks

Electronic locks that can be controlled via smartphone, keypad, fingerprint, or key card. Popular brands we install include Samsung, Yale, Lockwood, and August. Learn more about digital lock installation.

High-Security Locks

Featuring advanced protection against picking, bumping, and drilling, high-security locks provide maximum protection for Perth homes. These locks often include restricted keyways, making unauthorized key duplication nearly impossible.

The Lock Rekeying Process

Many Perth homeowners ask about rekeying. Here's how the process works:

  1. We remove the lock cylinder from the door
  2. Take apart the lock cylinder to access the internal pins
  3. Replace the existing pins with new pins that match a new key
  4. Reassemble and reinstall the lock cylinder
  5. Test the new keys to ensure smooth operation
  6. Provide you with new keys—old keys now won't work

For most homes, rekeying all exterior locks takes 1-2 hours and costs significantly less than replacing all the locks.

Residential Locksmith FAQs

How much does it cost to rekey locks in Perth?

Rekeying costs depend on the number of locks and lock type, but typically ranges from $30-$60 per lock. Rekeying multiple locks during one visit is usually more cost-effective per lock. We provide exact quotes before starting work.

Should I rekey or replace locks when I move?

If your existing locks are in good condition and meet modern security standards, rekeying is the most cost-effective option. If locks are old, damaged, or low-quality, replacement is recommended. We can assess your locks and recommend the best solution.

How long does lock installation take?

Standard lock installation typically takes 30-60 minutes per lock, depending on the door type and lock complexity. Smart lock installation may take slightly longer due to programming and setup requirements.

Can you install locks on all door types?

Yes, we install locks on timber doors, steel doors, UPVC doors, aluminium doors, sliding doors, French doors, and more. Each door type may require specific hardware and installation techniques.

Do you provide after-hours residential locksmith services?

Yes! We offer 24/7 emergency locksmith services for urgent situations like lockouts or security breaches. After-hours services may incur additional fees.
