Ensure your rental property meets Victorian minimum standards with our professional locksmith compliance audits.
Under the Residential Tenancies Regulations 2021, all rental providers in Victoria are required to meet specific minimum security standards. Beyond just keeping tenants safe, ensuring your property’s exterior doors allow for safe and quick emergency egress is a legal obligation that protects you from significant liability.
We provide a comprehensive assessment of your property’s entry points to ensure every lock functions exactly as the law requires.
Legislation Alignment: We verify that your exterior doors meet the requirement for single-action unlocking from the inside, ensuring occupants can exit easily in an emergency.
Safety Audits: Our technicians identify “hidden” risks where double-cylinder deadlocks or incorrect hardware might be obstructing emergency escape routes.
Actionable Solutions: If a lock is found to be non-compliant, we provide immediate, cost-effective recommendations to upgrade your hardware without over-servicing.
The law is clear: All external entry doors must be able to be unlocked from the inside without a key.
Many older properties rely on double-sided deadlocks (which require a key on both sides). While these offer high security, they can be dangerous during a fire or emergency. Our service helps you balance high-level security with the mandatory requirement for free, unhindered egress.
On-Site Audit: We thoroughly inspect all exterior doors and locking mechanisms against current regulations.
Reporting: You receive a clear summary of your property’s status.
Remediation: Where necessary, we install compliant hardware that keeps your property secure from intruders while ensuring your tenants can exit safely.
Don’t risk the fines or liability associated with non-compliant rental properties. Let us take care of the technical requirements so you can manage your investment with peace of mind.
