Lock & security upgrades
Deadbolts, window and sliding-door locks — practical upgrades that actually make a break-in harder.
Most homes aren't secured badly on purpose — they're secured by whatever the builder fitted fifteen years ago. Single latch on the front door, window locks painted shut or missing, a sliding door that lifts off its track. Fixing that isn't about alarms and cameras; it starts with the mechanical basics that determine whether a door holds when someone tests it.
Locked In does the practical end of home security: proper deadbolts on entry doors, key-operated window locks, sliding-door locks that stop the lift-and-slide trick, and keyed-alike setups so better security doesn't mean a heavier keyring. Insurance policies in QLD commonly expect key-operated locks on accessible windows and doors — worth checking your PDS, because an upgrade visit can be the difference in a claim.
The approach is honest, like everything else here: Gordon walks the house with you, points out what's weak and what's fine, and quotes the work before any of it starts. No fear-selling, no gold-plated hardware you don't need — a mechanic's practical judgement about what's worth doing, backed by the same free-if-unsolved callout guarantee.
What you get
Deadbolts where they matter
Entry doors upgraded from builder-grade latches to proper deadbolts — the single biggest mechanical improvement most homes can make.
Windows that actually lock
Key-operated window locks on accessible windows — a common insurance expectation and a genuine deterrent.
Sliding doors, secured
Purpose-made sliding door locks stop the lift-off-the-track entry that makes standard sliders the weak point of many QLD homes.
One key, whole house
Upgrades can be keyed alike, so better security means one good key — not a janitor's keyring.

Lock & security upgrades questions
The things people usually ask before getting started.
For most homes: a proper deadbolt on each entry door, then key-operated locks on accessible windows, then a real lock on the sliding door. That order fixes the points a break-in actually tests. Gordon will tell you if your home is different.
