Security door lock repairs Hobart

Most of the time, you can keep your existing door. We retrofit modern commercial-grade locks into the same fittings, so you get stronger protection without tearing anything apart.

Before we touch the hardware, we check the door frame, hinge alignment and latch depth. Most locks that “stop working” are fine — it’s the door that’s shifted a few millimetres and started grinding the mechanism. Once that’s fixed, the lock feels brand new again.

For tougher jobs, we fit stainless plates, replace tired screws with hardened fixings and use high-security cylinders that resist drilling and snapping. We repair and install locks for businesses across Hobart with one goal: keep what works, upgrade what doesn’t, and make the whole setup last longer than the door it’s fitted to.

If your locks haven’t been checked in a few years, it’s time. Hardware that still turns can still fail a strength test — and that matters when it comes to compliance and insurance.

We test every moving part for tension, throw length and spring return. It’s not guesswork; we use calibrated tools to check they meet AS4145.2 standards for commercial use. If they don’t, we’ll explain exactly why and show you the wear points.

For Hobart businesses, this isn’t just about paperwork. Worn locks can breach your insurance and fire safety obligations. We replace or re-pin with gear rated for long service in Tasmanian weather.

We can repair most high-security locks unless the internals are completely worn or damaged beyond tolerance. Rebuilding is often faster, cleaner and cheaper than full replacement.

We strip the lock, clean every pin and spring, and reset it to factory tension. It’s detailed work, but it brings a tired lock back to smooth operation.

If the key control has been compromised — maybe a set was lost or stolen — we’ll recommend rekeying or replacement. The aim is always the same: restore proper function and give you lasting peace of mind without unnecessary cost.

Yes, and that’s one of the smartest ways to modernise a site. We can key new hardware into your existing master key system or restricted key system, so staff keep using the same keys while gaining stronger protection.

We re-pin the cylinders on-site and check the keying hierarchy to make sure everything lines up properly. It’s a precise job — one wrong pin depth can jam an entire suite of locks — which is why our locksmiths still do the fine work by hand.

This approach lets you upgrade door by door without disrupting your existing access control. It’s flexible, secure and keeps your key management tidy across the site.

Anything made for marine conditions will outperform basic hardware here. Hobart’s mix of salt, wind and cold is brutal on poor metals. We use 316-grade stainless and heavy-duty commercial locks that handle vibration and temperature swings.

Roller doors and fire exits get a beating, so we only fit locks with hardened bolts, sealed internals and non-rusting fixings. Every installation is torqued and tested by hand before we leave.

If you’re securing valuables, we can also maintain or upgrade your safe locks to match. For Southern Tasmania’s conditions, quality gear is cheaper in the long run because it keeps working.

Yes. More businesses are moving to hybrid systems — digital outside, mechanical backup inside. We replace old lock sets with keypad or card-based units that control who gets in and when.

The benefit isn’t just convenience. Commercial digital lock systems give audit trails and remote management, which is ideal for offices or shared facilities. We make sure they’re fail-safe too, with manual overrides and spare keys ready if the power drops.

We supply, fit and maintain everything ourselves, so you get one contact for the whole upgrade — no juggling contractors or finger-pointing later.

Small issues become big ones fast. A latch that drags today can jam tomorrow, and that can shut down a fire exit or loading bay. We’ve seen it too many times.

Once metal starts wearing unevenly, it stresses the pins, the springs and the key. One forced turn can break the lot. Regular servicing keeps those parts aligned and prevents surprise failures.

For businesses around Greater Hobart, that’s not just a safety problem — it’s downtime. A door that won’t open can stall operations or breach compliance, which always costs more than a simple repair.

It starts with understanding how people actually use the site. We design systems that secure the right areas without slowing anyone down.

Our locksmiths map the traffic flow, then set the keying hierarchy and hardware grades around it. Staff can move freely where they need to, while restricted areas stay locked tight.

We supply and install hardware across Hobart and surrounding areas that’s reliable, logical and compliant — because security only works when it fits how people work.
