Home Security Upgrades on the Peninsula
Deadlocks, window locks, sliding door locks, smart locks and key safes. Make your home or holiday house harder to get into, and easier for the right people to use.
Where most homes are weakest
- Back and side doors with a basic latch and no deadlock.
- Sliding doors that can be lifted or levered without a proper lock.
- Windows with no keyed locks, especially at ground level.
- Garages with an internal door into the house that's rarely locked.
- Spare keys hidden in the obvious places.
Upgrades worth considering
- Deadlocks on every external door.
- Keyed window locks and sliding door locks.
- Security doors with a quality lock.
- Smart locks with codes or app access, handy for families and short-stay guests.
- Key safes for holiday homes, carers and tradespeople.
- Keying alike so one key opens every external door.
Holiday homes and short stays
Plenty of Peninsula homes sit empty for weeks at a time or change guests every few days. Codes you can change between guests, a key safe instead of a key under a pot plant, and good locks on every door and window make a real difference.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions, answered
Are smart locks secure?
A good-quality smart lock, properly installed, is as secure as a standard deadlock and makes it easy to change access codes. Choose one with a mechanical key backup.
Do I need deadlocks for insurance?
Some home and contents policies have requirements for locks on doors and windows. Check your policy wording.
Can you upgrade locks on a rental?
Tenants generally need the landlord's consent to change or add locks in Victoria. If you're a landlord or property manager, call to talk through options.
