Deadbolt & Extra Security Lock Installation Sunshine Coast

Looking to improve your home or business security? Adding a deadbolt is one of the most effective and affordable ways to secure your doors and protect what matters most.

At Jarrah Locksmith, I provide professional deadbolt installation and extra security lock upgrades across the Sunshine Coast, including Buderim, Maroochydore, Caloundra, Sippy Downs, and surrounding areas. Whether you’ve just moved in, want to deter break-ins, or need to meet insurance requirements, I’ll help you choose and install the right high-security lock for your doors.

A deadbolt is a strong, mechanical lock that provides a second line of defence against forced entry. Unlike standard spring latch locks, deadbolts cannot be easily slipped with a card or manipulated from the outside. That’s why they’re highly recommended for front and back doors, side garage entries, and any other vulnerable access point.

I offer both single-cylinder and double-cylinder deadbolts. Single-cylinder models are operated by a key on the outside and a thumb turn on the inside — ideal for most homes. Double-cylinder models require a key on both sides, adding extra protection for doors with nearby windows.

If you're not sure what type of lock suits your door or lifestyle, I’ll provide honest advice based on your security needs and budget. I supply quality deadlocks from trusted brands like Lockwood, Carbine, and Whitco — all compliant with Australian Standards. If you’ve already purchased your own deadbolt, I’m happy to install that for you too, provided it’s compatible with your door.

For timber, steel, and even security screen doors, I offer precise, clean installations. Every job is completed with care, and I’ll make sure the lock is aligned, secured, and works smoothly from the start.

If you’re upgrading home security or need to meet landlord or insurance requirements, I also offer locksets that combine a handle and deadbolt, keyed alike for convenience. This way, you only need one key for both locks.

As a mobile locksmith based on the Sunshine Coast, I come to you at a time that suits you — with no call centers, no subcontractors, and no surprises. You’ll get clear pricing and friendly, professional service from start to finish.

Deadbolt Installation FAQs

What’s the difference between a deadbolt and a regular lock?

A regular lock (like on a door handle) uses a spring latch, which can sometimes be forced open. A deadbolt uses a solid metal bolt that locks directly into the door frame, making it much harder to force open or manipulate.

Do I really need a deadbolt?

If your door only has one standard lock, a deadbolt adds a much stronger layer of protection. It’s especially important for front doors, back doors, and side access points.

How long does it take to install a deadbolt?

Most deadbolt installations take 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the type of door and hardware. I’ll make sure everything fits cleanly and works properly before I leave.

Can you install a deadbolt on any door?

In most cases, yes. I can install deadbolts on timber doors, solid core doors, and even metal security screen doors. If your door isn’t suitable, I’ll let you know and offer an alternative solution.

Can I have the deadbolt work with the same key as my other locks?

Yes. I can install deadbolts that are “keyed alike” to your existing locks, so you only need one key for everything. It’s convenient and secure.
