Locksmith Mont Albert

Local locksmith knowledge for Mont Albert

The building stock in Mont Albert runs to generously proportioned Edwardian, English Domestic Revival and Arts and Crafts homes on large blocks in a leafy heritage setting. Housing age is the single biggest factor in what locks we fit and service here. The recurring work here is heritage homes here need sympathetic work, preserving or reinstating period mortice locks and cast hardware while easing swollen timber doors. 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. Mont Albert sees the damp, cool winters of Melbourne's temperate climate, which swell the timber sashes and doors of its century-old period homes. Left unserviced, that is what turns a stiff key into a snapped one or a lock that no longer throws. A quick service — cleaning, lubrication and realignment — is far cheaper than an emergency call-out after the lock finally fails.
