Your local locksmith in Paddington 2021
Paddington's rows of Victorian terraces are some of the most recognisable homes in Sydney. They're beautiful, and they come with their own security challenges, from original front doors to rear lane gates and upstairs balcony doors.
We're based in neighbouring Moore Park, so Paddington is right on our doorstep. Call 02 9069 1826 any day from 7am to 8pm.
Locks for Paddington terraces
A typical Paddington terrace has a solid timber front door facing the street, French doors onto an iron-lace balcony upstairs, and a back gate opening onto a narrow lane. Each one needs the right lock. Rear lanes in particular are quiet and out of sight, so a weak back gate or courtyard door is an easy target.
We fit deadlocks and deadlatches that suit narrow terrace door stiles, secure balcony doors and courtyard doors, and add proper locks to rear gates. For the shops, galleries and cafés along Oxford Street and around Five Ways, we handle shopfront locks, door closers and lock changes when staff move on.

Security tips for Paddington homes and businesses
- Rear lane gates are the most common weak point on a terrace. Fit a proper gate lock and keep it locked, even during the day.
- Upstairs balcony doors are easy to forget. Make sure they lock properly, especially if the balcony can be reached from a neighbour's.
- If your terrace front door has glass panels, choose a lock that can't be opened by reaching through broken glass to an inside knob.
