- Deadlock Installation Mistakes to Avoid (And How Professionals Get It Right)
Installing a deadlock might seem simple, but even minor errors can compromise your security or damage your door. Many DIY installations end up costing more to fix than hiring a professional locksmith in the first place.
One of the most common mistakes is misaligning the strike plate. If the latch doesn’t fit snugly into the frame, the deadlock won’t fully engage — leaving your door vulnerable to being forced open. Another frequent error is using cheap or incompatible hardware, which can weaken over time.
Fast Locksmiths Cranbourne ensures every deadlock is installed precisely and securely. We measure, align, and reinforce each fitting to ensure maximum strength and smooth operation. Our locksmiths near you are trained in all major brands, including Lockwood, Gainsborough, and Whitco.
We also avoid over-drilling, which can damage your door structure. Instead, we use industry-standard techniques and tools to guarantee a clean, professional finish. Every deadlock installation we complete meets Australian Standards and insurance compliance.
Beyond installation, we provide regular maintenance, lubrication, and rekeying to keep your locks working perfectly for years. For the best results, trust licensed professionals who take the time to do the job right the first time.
