We have an emergency

only trade qualified locksmiths who are experts at unlocking doors and securing
homes. Some of our services include -
Luckily we offer
a 24 hour emergency locksmith service to help out in such situations. Our
locksmiths are very well trained and able to open locks without doing damage to
your door or lock. The majority of locks we can open in a very short period of
time. If you have a high security lock, they can take a bit longer, but there
are very few locks we cannot pick open.
If all your locks
are of the same brand it is usually quite simple to alter the lock barrels to
make them all work with the one key. If there are different brands of locks it
is still usually not too complicated to change them to the one key. We stock a
range of replacement lock barrels and cylinders that are specifically designed
to accept a type of key that can be used throughout a home.
There are quite a
few different security door manufacturers and different types of mesh such as
Aluminum mesh and stainless steel mesh. As far as locks go on
security doors there are two main types,
sliding door locks and swinging door locks. Nearly all security screen doors
have interchangeable locks making replacement quite simple.
A Standard
tubular deadlock throws a large bolt into the door
frame. The bolt is designed to securely lock into position and cannot be
manipulated open. Tubular locks complement locks with latches as some latch
type locks can be opened with a credit card type attack which pulls back the
latch. Tubular deadlocks are either in the locked or unlocked state when in the
unlocked position a lock with a latch is needed to keep the door closed.
Fire doors can be
very expensive and a replacement door can cost thousands of dollars. Fitting a
non compliant lock to a fire door can result in the door having to be replaced.
In fact all hardware fitted to a fire door has to have the correct fire rating
for the particular door.
Each type of
garage door has a unique locking system. Tilt-a-doors and panel lift doors use
a T-handle with a connecting wire catching system, while roller doors use a set
of arms to lock the door. Generally garage doors need little maintenance. A
spray of lock lubricant in the keyhole does not hurt, especially if the door is
exposed to the weather.
24 Hour Locksmith Brisbane has a mobile
service covering all Brisbane suburbs.
Unlocking Doors
If
you have ever locked the keys inside your house or car then you will know that
it never happens at an appropriate time. It usually happens when we are busy
doing other things such as moving house or getting the kids out the door to
school.Changing Locks
If
your keys have been lost or stolen or if you have moved into a new house it is a
good idea to get the locks changed. Changing locks ensures all the keys that
previously worked, will no longer open the door. There are often situations
where you need to lock somebody out. Changing the locks will ensure their key
will no longer work in the lock and they will not be able to reenter the
property.All Locks to work
with the one key
There
are few things worse than having a large number of keys on a key ring and having
to try each one to open each door in a house. It is so much simpler to have
just one key to open all the locks.Security Screen
Locks
Security
screens are an essential part of family homes in Brisbane. While they help keep
the flies and mosquitoes out of the house, we also rely on them for added
security. They help keep us safe inside and keep the unwanted guests outside.Deadlocks
Deadlocks
add additional strength to a door and are used to stop attacks from various
methods other locks are vulnerable to.Fire Door Locks
Apartments,
flats, Units and multiple unit dwellings need to be compliant with fire and
disability legislation. The legislation regarding fire doors recently changed
and all fire doors must now be inspected on a regular basis.Garage doors
There
are three main types of garage doors seen in Australia. They are tilt-a-doors,
Roller doors and panel lift doors. Panel lift doors are the most modern and
being fitted to a majority of new houses and units.Sliding Glass Door
Locks
Sliding
glass doors come with a lock mounted on the inside of the door frame. The lock
has a hook which catches into a strike mounted on the door frame. These locks
can be upgraded to a deadlocking version which has a better catching mechanism,
a stronger strike and mountings. The deadlocking of sliding doors not only
prevents manipulation from jiggling the door or using a credit card type of
attack. It also makes sure the catch will stay in the locked position until the
key is turned. Most deadlocking sliding door locks also have a safety snib for
when you are at home and do not want to be deadlocked inside.
