Why Add a Deadlock?
Many standard handles rely on a spring latch — convenient, but not always the strongest. A deadlock adds a dedicated bolt that helps resist forced entry.
Simple security upgrade
Perfect if your door is fine but you want a noticeable improvement in security without changing everything.
Great for rentals
Deadlocks are commonly installed for rentals and units to improve security and tenant peace of mind.
Key control options
We can often match keys to existing doors via keyed alike or rekeying.
Deadlock Installation: What We Check
A deadlock only performs properly when it’s installed and aligned correctly. We check the door, frame and strike area so it locks smoothly and securely.
Door & frame suitability
- ✓Door thickness and material (timber, aluminium, composite)
- ✓Frame and strike area strength
- ✓Correct placement for smooth bolt throw
- ✓Alignment so the key turns cleanly
If the door is dragging or not lining up, we may recommend lock repair first.
Keying options (avoid extra keys)
- ✓Keyed alike (one key for multiple doors) when compatible
- ✓Rekeying to disable old keys after moving/tenants
- ✓Spare keys cut at time of install
- ✓Advice on the best setup for your property

Deadlock Installation FAQs
Straight answers to the questions Gold Coast homeowners and property managers ask most.
What is a deadlock (deadbolt)?
A deadlock (often called a deadbolt) is a strong locking bolt that extends into the door frame. Many homes use a latch/handle set plus a deadlock for better security.
Is a deadlock better than a standard door lock?
A quality deadlock adds strength because it uses a solid bolt and a separate locking point. It’s a common security upgrade for front and back doors.
Can you install a deadlock on most doors?
In most cases, yes. We assess the door material, thickness and the frame/strike area. If the door or frame is weak or damaged, we’ll recommend the best option.
Can you key the deadlock to match my existing keys?
Often yes. If compatible, we can set it up as keyed alike so one key works across multiple doors. Otherwise, rekeying may be the best approach.
