Lock installation

New locks, fitted properly — homes, businesses and complexes across Cape Town.

A lock is only as strong as its installation. We fit deadbolts, mortice locks, multi-point gearboxes, smart locks and security-gate locks the way the manufacturer intended — sized, aligned, and tested before we leave.

Picking the right lock for the door

Door material, door thickness, strike-plate condition and how often the door cycles every day all matter. A high-traffic shopfront wants a commercial-grade hook-bolt, not a residential deadbolt. A heavy timber front door wants a serious mortice plus a quality cylinder, not a budget rim lock. We size and spec each lock to the door rather than fitting whatever was on the van — and we tell you why.

Smart locks done sensibly

Smart locks are great for short-let owners, busy families and anyone tired of carrying keys. They're only as good as their installation and battery discipline. We fit models with a mechanical override key, set up the app correctly, hand over to whoever is going to manage it, and explain the failure modes so you're not stuck outside in two years.

Pairs naturally with other work

Most installations are paired with a security upgrade on neighbouring doors, or a wider lock change when a property changes hands. On businesses we'll often combine the install with a master key system.
