Locks we fit most
Tap a brand for its full range, what suits which door, and what we would fit.
Never locked out by a battery
If the battery goes flat
Every lock we fit has a second way in. Most take a key, and some take a nine volt battery held against the front to wake them up long enough to enter your code.
Most locks warn you for weeks before the batteries run out, and changing them takes a minute.

What to think about
PIN, tag or app?
A PIN or tag lock works with no WiFi at all. If you want to open the door or share codes from your phone, you need a WiFi model. Carbine makes PIN-plus-tag models, handy for families and rentals.
WiFi and gateway hubs
Some WiFi locks, including Lion Head’s, need a small gateway hub for remote app access. We supply and set it up.
What if the batteries go flat?
You’re not locked out. Each lock we install has a second way to get in, and we walk you through it, plus the battery change.
Will it fit my door?
Most digital locks suit an existing door. Snap the door and the lock that’s on it now, and we’ll say which models suit.
Rentals and short stays
Codes can be changed between tenants or guests, so you never hand over a physical key.

It tells us which locks will fit and what’s needed.
Pick the right lock
We shortlist models that suit your door and how you’ll use it, with the price agreed first.
Fitted and set up
We install it, set the codes or app with you and run through the second way in.
Digital, electronic or keypad?
They are all the same thing. A digital door lock, an electronic door lock and a keypad lock all describe a lock you open without turning a key — with a code, a fingerprint, a tag or your phone. People searching for electronic door locks in Perth and people searching for digital door locks in Perth are almost always after the same product, so do not worry about which words you use when you ring us.
Where the words do split apart:
- Keypad lock usually means code-only, with no app and often no WiFi. Simple, cheap to run, and plenty of households never want more than this.
- Smart lock usually means it connects to your phone, which needs WiFi and sometimes a small gateway hub. Our smart locks page covers that side.
- Digital deadbolt means the electronic part is built into a deadbolt rather than into the handle set.
- Keyless entry is the marketing phrase for all of the above.
Whatever it is called, the same rule applies to every one we fit: there is always a second way in, so a flat battery never leaves you standing outside.

Straight answers from 25 years of fitting locks.
Straight answers
Which digital lock brand is best?
It depends on your door and how you’ll use it. McGrath is the brand we fit most, and we also fit Lion Head, Lockton, Carbine, Lockwood and Yale.
Do I need WiFi for a digital lock?
No. A PIN or tag lock works without WiFi. You only need WiFi (and sometimes a gateway hub) to open or share access from your phone.
Can a digital lock go on my existing door?
Usually. Snap the door and the lock that’s on it now, and we’ll say which models suit.
What happens if the battery goes flat?
Every lock we fit has a backup way in, such as a key or an emergency power point, and most give a low-battery warning well before they stop. Swapping the batteries takes a minute.
Are digital locks safer than key locks?
A good digital lock, properly fitted, is as secure as a good key lock, and there are no keys to lose or copy. Codes can be changed in seconds when someone moves out.
Do I need a locksmith to install a digital lock?
Many are sold as DIY, but most need the door drilled or the old holes adjusted. A lock that’s slightly out of line drains batteries and jams. We fit it, line it up and set up the codes with you.
Is a digital lock good for a rental or Airbnb?
Yes. Each guest or tenant can have their own code, and you delete it when they leave instead of rekeying. If you rent, check your lease or strata rules first.
How do I change the code on my digital lock?
It depends on the brand and model. We show you when we fit it, and the maker’s manual covers it too. If you get stuck, call us.
Can a digital lock be rekeyed?
It depends on the model. Tell us the brand and model, or send a photo through the quote form, and we’ll tell you whether yours can be rekeyed and give you a quote.
