Strata & Body Corporate Locksmith Services

Below is a complete list of locksmith services designed specifically for strata and multi-residential buildings.

1. Master Key Systems for Apartment Buildings

We design and maintain master key systems that allow:

• Building managers to access all areas

• Residents to access only their own units

• Cleaners/contractors to access authorised zones

• Secure levels of access for amenities (gyms, car parks, meeting rooms)

Master key systems simplify key management and improve building security.

2. Restricted Key Systems (No Unauthorised Copies)

A restricted key system prevents unauthorised duplication - essential for:

• high-turnover buildings

• large body corporates

• multi-story apartment towers

• properties with contractors and cleaners

Bond Locksmiths manages all authorised restricted key requests with strict identity verification and documentation.

3. Apartment & Unit Re-Keying

When tenants change, keys go missing, or security is compromised, we provide:

• full unit re-keying

• lock barrel changes

• new restricted keys

• lock repairs or upgrades

• updated key control documentation

This helps protect new tenants and maintains building security.

4. Emergency Lock Repairs & Break-In Response

Strata buildings often require urgent locksmith support for:

• break-in repairs

• vandalised locks

• jammed doors

• damaged common area locks

• emergency resident lockouts

Our mobile team responds quickly to restore access and secure the building.

5. Common Area Locksmith Services

We service all common building areas including:

• foyer doors

• stairwell doors

• mailrooms

• bin rooms

• gym doors

• rooftop access

• storage cages

• bike rooms

• basement and car park entries

We ensure all access points remain secure and compliant.

6. Apartment Building Door Hardware

Strata buildings require durable commercial-grade hardware.

We install and maintain:

• door closers

• mortice locks

• high-security cylinders

• fire-rated locks

• hinges & strike plates

• digital & electronic locks

• panic bars and exit devices

All hardware meets Australian Standards for multi-dwelling buildings.

Our solutions ensure secure, controlled access to parking areas.

10. Storage Cage Locks & Upgrades

We install durable, tamper-resistant locks for:

• basement storage cages

• bike storage rooms

• communal storerooms
  

This reduces theft risk and improves building security.

11. Safety & Compliance Hardware

Strata buildings must meet Australian Standards and fire safety regulations.

We install:

• fire-rated door closers

• commercial exit devices

• compliant panic bars

• emergency release hardware

All compliance hardware is installed in accordance with:

• National Construction Code (NCC) - Section D: Access & Egress

• NCC Clause D2.21 - Operation of Latches (doors must allow a single-handed, single-action exit in the direction of egress)

• AS1905.1 standards for fire door assemblies

We ensure:

• exit doors are never key-locked from the inside during occupancy

• egress hardware allows free exit at all times

• fire doors remain compliant and unobstructed

• correct signage and compliant lever or panic bar operation

This is especially critical for:

• apartment fire stairs

• basement car park access doors

• foyer exit paths

• common-area access to assembly points

Bond Locksmiths works closely with body corporates, facilities managers and fire compliance providers to ensure every entry and exit point in your building meets current safety legislation and audit standards.
