Many deadbolt replacements fit common Australian front doors, but you must check thickness, backset and lock type yourself — or ask a licensed locksmith.

Backset is the distance from the door edge to the centre of the lock hole. Buying a lock with the wrong backset is a common fitment mistake. Always confirm measurements before you buy.

Bluetooth is often enough if you unlock while at the door. Built-in Wi‑Fi (or a bridge) is typically needed for remote unlock while you are away. Choose based on your own needs and the product documentation.

Many models offer a mechanical key override and sometimes USB emergency power. Always test backup entry after install and follow the manufacturer’s guidance.

Often only with landlord approval. Prefer reversible options where appropriate, and keep the original lock to refit later. Check your tenancy agreement.

Exposed gates and outdoor hardware generally need weather-rated products. Follow manufacturer outdoor ratings and maintenance guidance. See our coastal durability guide for more detail.

Many keypad locks allow temporary or scheduled codes. Manage and remove access when it should end. Follow the product app instructions.

Stock changes. If an item is unavailable, check back later or compare another model.
