Big single-storey homes, more doors than you think
Floreat is a planned residential suburb of large, consistent lots — the name is Latin for flourish.
With nine homes in ten a separate house, 86 per cent owner-occupied and three people per household, most homes here are lived in by their owners. Large single-storey houses on big lots mean multiple external doors plus security screens, so a rekey can reach the top of the usual six-to-eight range once the garage, the side gate and the shed are counted.
The other pattern is long tenure. Nearly half these homes are owned outright, and hardware that has been on the door for decades is often worn rather than broken, so a service and rekey is worth trying before a replacement. For a household of three or more, a digital lock with a code for each person is also worth considering.

Straight answers
How much to rekey a whole house with eight locks?
It depends on the count — the first lock covers the callout and the labour and each additional one is less. We walk the property, count the cylinders and agree the total before starting.
Can my original Lockwood locks be kept?
Often, yes. If it’s worn rather than broken, a service and re-pin can bring it back. We only replace when a lock genuinely cannot be saved.
Which digital lock is best for a family?
One where each person has their own code, so nobody needs a key. We fit McGrath, Lion Head, Lockton, Carbine, Lockwood and Yale.
Is Floreat on the beach?
No. Floreat Beach is in the suburb of City Beach, which sits between Floreat and the ocean. Floreat itself does not front the water.
Will you have to drill my lock to get me in?
Rarely, and never without telling you first. If a barrel does have to be drilled we fit a new one at no charge and key it to your existing key.
