Our Residential Locksmith Services

Fleet Locksmiths offers a comprehensive range of locksmith residential services to meet all your home security needs:

• Rim Deadlocks – Surface-mounted locks, often used on older doors or as secondary locks.
• Mortice Deadlocks – Recessed into the door edge for a clean, secure fit.
• Digital Deadlocks – Keyless entry with PIN code, card, or smartphone access.

Premium Brands We Install:

• Lockwood – Australia’s most trusted lock brand
• Brava – High-security Australian locks

Why Install a Deadlock?

• Most home insurance policies require deadlocks on external doors
• Significantly harder to force open than standard locks
• Provides peace of mind for your family
• Increases property value

Lock Rekeying Services

Moving into a new home? Lost your keys? Had a relationship breakdown or housemate move out? Our lock rekeying service is a cost-effective way to restore your security without replacing entire locks.

When to Rekey Your Locks:

• Moving into a new property (you don’t know who has copies of the old keys)
• After a break-in or attempted break-in
• Lost or stolen keys
• Relationship changes (separation, divorce)
• Housemates or tenants moving out
• Dismissing tradespeople, cleaners, or carers who had keys
• Keys lent to someone you no longer trust
• Inheriting a property

Benefits of Rekeying:

• More affordable than replacing locks
• Same keys can work all doors (keyed alike)
• Quick service—usually completed within an hour
• Instant security restoration
• Old keys no longer work

Keyed Alike Service:

Sick of carrying a dozen keys? We can rekey all your locks to work with a single key—front door, back door, side gate, garage, shed—all one key.

Security Door Lock Repair & Replacement

Geelong’s coastal conditions can be tough on security door locks. Salt air, sand, and humidity cause corrosion, jamming, and wear. Our security door lock services include:

Common Home Lockout Situations:

• Forgot keys inside
• Door blew shut behind you

• Broken key in lock
• Lock jammed or faulty

3. We verify your identity and right to access
4. We unlock your door without damage
5. We can cut new keys or rekey locks if needed

Lock Repair Services

Locks wear out over time. Keys get harder to turn, mechanisms become stiff, and eventually locks fail completely. Our lock repair services include:

Lock Problems We Fix:

• Stiff or sticky locks
• Keys difficult to insert or remove
• Lock not engaging properly
• Loose door handles
• Worn lock cylinders
• Misaligned strike plates
• Broken springs or mechanisms

Repair or Replace?

Sometimes a lock can be repaired; sometimes replacement is more cost-effective. We’ll assess your lock honestly and recommend the best solution—not just the most expensive one.

Lock Upgrades & Security Assessments

Is your home as secure as it should be? Many homes have inadequate locks that don’t meet insurance requirements or modern security standards. We offer:

Security Assessment Service:

• Inspect all entry points (doors, windows, garage)
• Identify security weaknesses

• Installing security door locks

Restricted Key Systems

Standard keys can be copied at any hardware store—sometimes without your knowledge. Restricted key systems prevent unauthorised key copying.

How Restricted Keys Work:

• Keys can only be cut by authorised locksmiths
• Photo ID required to order copies
• Written authority needed from property owner
• Key blanks not available at hardware stores

Ideal For:

• Rental properties (control tenant key copies)
• Shared accommodation
• Home offices with sensitive information
• High-value homes
