North Lakes is newer than most of the suburbs we work in, and that changes the job. The locks are rarely worn out. More often they are the basic set the builder fitted, on a house worth a great deal more than the hardware protecting it.
Most work here is upgrading what the builder fitted, rather than fixing something worn out.

A common upgrade in newer North Lakes homes is improving on the builder-grade hardware fitted at handover. Keypad or app entry, temporary codes for visitors and cleaners, and no more hiding a spare in the garden.
New estates are finished to a price, and the entry hardware is usually where that shows. Upgrading the front and back doors is a small job with a big difference.
New build handover, a lost key, or an investment property between tenants. One new key across every external door.
Locked out with the kids in the car? We cover North Lakes and the surrounding estates around the clock.
The centre and surrounding business park need shopfront locks, closers and restricted keys, not house hardware.
Garage-to-house doors are often the weakest link in an otherwise well-built home, and are usually fitted with a passage set rather than anything secure.
Master-planned estates hand over thousands of near-identical homes, which means the same handful of issues tend to apply right across the suburb.
Volume builders fit functional, entry-level locksets. They work, but they are not what most owners assume is on their front door.
Between trades, handover and the sales process, plenty of people have held a key to a new home. A rekey at handover is a sensible first move.
Younger families, visitors, cleaners, and a lot of coming and going. Codes you can issue and revoke beat a spare key under a pot.
A large share of homes in the corridor are rented. Keyed-alike systems and code-based entry make managing changeovers much less painful.
The newer estates either side of the highway are all part of the same run for us.
