Your door and its cut-outs
Door thickness, material and the holes left by the current lock decide which models fit and whether extra work is needed.

Will a smart lock
suit your door?
Not every digital lock fits every door. Door thickness, material, existing holes and how the door lines up all affect which models work and how much fitting is involved. Josh looks at the lock and the door together, backed by his carpentry background.
The lock you choose
Already bought a lock? Share the brand and model so Josh can check it suits the door. Not sure yet? Ask him about suitable options.
A door that closes cleanly
A digital lock still relies on the door. Rubbing, dropped hinges or a misaligned strike plate can stop it locking properly, so these are checked too.
From the first conversation
What happens next?
Send the door details
Tell Josh your suburb, which door, the door material and the lock model if you have one. Photos of both sides of the existing lock and the door edge help.
Check compatibility and cost
Josh confirms whether the lock suits the door, what fitting work is needed and the cost before any work starts.
Fitting and setup
Once the job is agreed, Josh fits the lock and helps with setup so you know how it works.
Your questions, answered
Common questions
about this service.
Need an answer about your own lock or door? Josh can talk it through.
Call 0414 387 309What details do you need to quote a smart lock installation?
Your suburb, which door, the door material and thickness if known, and the brand and model of the lock if you already have one. Photos of the existing lock from both sides and of the door edge help Josh check compatibility. You can add photos in your own messaging app after preparing your enquiry.
Can you fit a smart lock I have already bought?
That depends on whether the model suits your door’s thickness, material and existing cut-outs. Send Josh the brand and model before booking so he can check it first.
Will a smart lock fit where my old lock was?
Some models can use the existing holes. Others need the door modified, or leave old holes that need covering. Josh can explain what is involved for your door and lock.
How much does smart lock installation cost?
The cost depends on the lock, whether Josh supplies it, the door and any fitting work needed. Ask Josh for the cost before agreeing to the job.
What happens if the batteries go flat?
That depends on the model. Many digital locks warn you when the batteries are low, and some have a key override or a way to power the lock from outside. Check how a model handles this before choosing it.
Can you fit digital locks at a business or rental property?
Digital lock options can be discussed for business premises and managed properties. Include who is authorising the work and who will manage codes and access afterwards.
