Locksmith Kew East

Local locksmith knowledge for Kew East

Kew East is largely made up of quiet residential streets that grew from subdivided small farming estates, its earliest civic buildings dating to the mid-1920s. Housing age is the single biggest factor in what locks we fit and service here. For this stock we most often handle solid interwar and period homes here typically need window locks, deadbolt upgrades and repairs to weather-swollen doors and their locks. New deadlocks and entrance sets are specified to AS 4145.2 and to the actual door construction, whether that is solid timber, a security screen or an apartment fire door.

There is a maintenance side to this as well. Kew East sees the ordinary damp-winter, warm-summer climate of Melbourne's east, which swells timber-framed windows and doors on its interwar-era homes. It is the slow wear most people ignore until the key stops turning at the worst possible moment. A quick service — cleaning, lubrication and realignment — is far cheaper than an emergency call-out after the lock finally fails.
