Why do a door lock replacement at your Cranbourne home?
Good door locks are essential for our own peace of mind.
Therefore, with working door locks on the front and back door of your home, it’s easy to assume that your home is secure, right?
We’d all like to think so, but unfortunately that may not be the case.
Also, if an uninvited guest wants to get into your home badly enough, they will. That’s just a fact.
But there is hope & some simple steps you can take so your home isn’t a soft target.
Replacement of all your external door locks is a good place to start.
Furthermore, don’t forget the security door lock replacement.
If you don’t know the answers to the next questions, you need a door lock replacement without delay.
What is the history of your property?
How old is your house?
How many people have lived at your address prior to you being the home owner?
Depending on the age of the property, that number could be unknown, therefore, the number of keys possibly in circulation is a big concern.
You may be at risk even if you have just built, so consider changing the locks on a new house.
The number of new builds that are broken into just prior to the new owners moving in, is astounding.
According to local police, approximately 20 new homes per week are targeted in Cranbourne East & surrounding suburbs.
The majority of which are believed to be “inside” jobs, by people in the construction industry.
Would you know if a tradie has had a copy of your house key cut for later use?
What will it cost to change door locks at my Cranbourne home?
I have found the most economical way to change the door locks is to replace them with “like for like”.
This means that door handle cut outs in your door should line up perfectly and only require minor adjustments, if any at all.
If you decide to change the door furniture completely, you may need to cut more of the door, which may not be possible.
In some cases, if your heart is set on that lovely new door handle & lock, you might need to invest in a new door for it to go onto.
If you are not sure which door lock set to get, no need to stress. I will be happy to help you out.

Your family’s safety is paramount, so don’t forget your other door locks!
Here’s a quick home security checklist for you;
- Entry door locks – Front door, back door and also the door from the garage into your house.
- Sliding door handle lock & a floor pin lock
- Security screen door locks
- Dead bolt locks to all entry doors
- Window locks
- Padlocks to side gates
Handy tips…
- If you have a deadlock on your door, leave a key in the inside lock. This is in the event that your family needs to exit the building in an emergency.
- Replace the small screws in the door hinges and door strike plate with long screws. This will make it very difficult for the door to be forced open because the door is now fixed to the house frame, not just the door jamb.
So if you live in the Cranbourne area and need a door lock replacement, I’m more than happy to help you.
You can then relax and enjoy security in your beautiful home, with peace of mind knowing who has the key.
So if you need to replace a deadbolt or change the front door lock, does it make sense to put it off?
Don’t delay replacing your door locks! Your family is simply too important.
