Locksmith Armadale

Local locksmith knowledge for Armadale

The building stock in Armadale runs to grand 1870s-1880s Victorian and Federation mansions and terraces alongside interwar residences, including a heritage precinct of 1880s cottages. What works on one of these doors is often wrong for the next, so the fix is rarely one-size-fits-all. For this stock we most often handle large heritage mansions and their outbuildings here call for high-security deadlocks, restricted-key systems and restoration of ornate original door hardware. Every hardware upgrade is chosen for the door in front of us — heritage timber, brick-veneer entrance or modern apartment set — and fitted to Australian Standards.

There is a maintenance side to this as well. Armadale sees the mild, seasonal climate of Melbourne's inner south-east, whose damp winters and dry summers work the joinery of its grand period homes. It is the slow wear most people ignore until the key stops turning at the worst possible moment. Catching it early with a service and re-lube usually avoids both the lockout and the replacement lock.
