Locksmith Malvern East

Local locksmith knowledge for Malvern East

The building stock in Malvern East runs to heritage-protected garden streets around Central Park, lined with substantial detached family homes on wide, tree-lined blocks. 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 servicing and rekeying the heritage mortice locks on period homes, plus fitting modern deadlocks that respect their timber joinery. 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.

Locks in Malvern East also have to cope with local conditions: melbourne's wet-winter, dry-summer swings, which move the timber joinery of its period homes and can leave deadbolts and doors sticking. 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.
