Local knowledge
Residential built around Redfern
Two housing worlds share this postcode: renovated terraces with new hardware a few streets from the Lawson, Kendall and Gilmore towers on Morehead Street, where entry runs on intercoms and swipe cards. The lock work changes completely across a single road.
Redfern is Victorian terraces and workers' cottages, the Poets Corner social-housing towers, and new apartment blocks around Gibbons Street, and the hardware follows the era of the door. It is the difference between arriving at Redfern Station with the right cylinder on board and arriving with a catalogue.
The security screen is the real front door on most Redfern terraces — a screen lock in front of the timber one, two cylinders to key alike and two frames to work in. Renovated houses have had both replaced together; the ones that have not still open on the original mortice hidden behind the screen, which is why a rekey here is quoted as one door and turns out to be two. We see the same pattern right across Redfern and through Waterloo and Surry Hills, so nothing about a Redfern call is a surprise.

Redfern customers
“Rekeyed our shopfront to restricted keys that can't be copied at the hardware store — exactly what we needed after a staff change. Quick, discreet and fairly priced. We'll use them for the other stores too.”
“The original mortice lock on our terrace had seized up completely. Rather than push a whole new lock they repaired and rekeyed it. Honest advice, fair and friendly.”
“Great service replacing the locks after we bought our place. Turned up on time, quoted before starting, and the new deadbolts feel far more solid than the old ones.”
