Lock & Hardware Upgrades
The cheapest real security improvement in most houses.
A good door with tired hardware is only as strong as the lock holding it shut. Upgrading locks, latches, handles and window fittings is quick, affordable work that usually makes a bigger practical difference than people expect — and it can make a stiff old door pleasant to use again.
Quick answers
Straight answers, before you read further.
What lock and hardware work does Halo do?
Lock and hardware upgrades on security doors, security screens and window security products — including three-point locking, handles, cylinders, keyed-alike sets, closers and rollers.
Is Halo a general locksmith?
No. Lock and hardware work is tied to Halo's security door, screen and window security products rather than general locksmithing.
Can hardware be upgraded on existing doors?
Often yes, where the existing door or screen is suitable. Work is subject to inspection, product suitability and parts availability.
Can multiple doors be keyed alike?
Usually yes, so one key operates each entry, subject to the hardware fitted to each door.
What areas does Halo service?
Rockingham, Baldivis, Mandurah and Greater Perth, including Kwinana, Port Kennedy, Secret Harbour, Warnbro, Waikiki, Safety Bay, Shoalwater, the Peel region and southern Perth suburbs.
Why choose this solution
Small hardware, large difference.
Most break-in attempts target the weakest mechanical point rather than the strongest panel. Single-point latches on older screen doors, worn strikes, loose window fittings and sliding doors with no secondary lock are the usual weak points. We look at the whole opening — leaf, frame, strike, keeper and the way it's used — and recommend hardware that suits both the security requirement and the person operating it. Lever handles and easier-turn mechanisms also matter a great deal for older residents and anyone with reduced grip strength.
Where work involves an existing product Halo did not supply, any repair or rectification is subject to inspection, product suitability and availability of suitable parts. Halo does not assume responsibility for the original product, installation or pre-existing defects.

Frequently Asked Questions
Helpful answers before you enquire.
Can you make all my doors use one key?+
In most cases yes. Keyed-alike sets across compatible locks mean one key opens every door we fit. We confirm compatibility during the measure.
Can you upgrade locks and hardware on doors Halo didn't install?+
Often yes, on suitable existing security doors and screens. Work is subject to inspection, product suitability and parts availability, and Halo does not assume responsibility for the original product or installation.
Are you a locksmith service?+
We supply and fit door and window hardware as part of our security work. We are not an emergency lockout service — if you're locked out of your property, call a locksmith.
Can hardware be made easier to operate?+
Yes. Lever handles, larger grips and lower-effort latching make a real difference for arthritis or reduced hand strength, and this often pairs well with our home-safety work.
Will new locks damage the door?+
We match hardware to the existing preparation wherever possible. Where a new lock needs different preparation, we tell you before we start what the visible result will be.
How long does it take?+
Most hardware upgrades are completed in a single visit. Restricted-key systems may need parts ordered first.
