Break-Ins on the Rise: Now’s the Time to Secure Your Property

With burglary rates increasing across Melbourne and beyond, protecting your home or business has never been more important. Suburbs including Frankston, Geelong, Casey, and parts of the Bayside area are reporting a surge in break-ins; and in most cases, outdated or weak door security is the easiest target.

Criminals often look for quick wins. Unlocked doors, cheap locks, or worn hardware are open invitations. The good news? A few smart upgrades can make a big difference.

 

Don't Wait for a Break-In: Strengthen Your First Line of Defence

Upgrading your locks isn’t just about stopping theft, it’s about creating peace of mind, knowing your property is protected 24/7.

Here’s why it’s worth acting now:

Modern Locks Offer Superior Protection
Today’s high-quality locks are designed to resist common break-in methods like picking, bumping, and forced entry.

Smart Lock Options Give You More Control
From keyless entry to remote access via your phone, smart locks make managing security easier and more flexible, perfect for homes, rentals, or busy workplaces.

Visible Security Discourages Opportunists
Strong locks, reinforced strike plates, and solid deadbolts send a clear message: this property is not an easy target.

Built Tough for Daily Use
Premium locks not only boost security, they also last longer, reducing the chance of faults, failures, or expensive emergency call-outs.

Sleep Easier, Day and Night
Whether you’re home with family or away on holiday, knowing your doors are properly secured takes the worry out of your day.

 


Choosing the Right Lock Setup

Not all locks are created equal. Depending on your building type, door construction, and security needs, the right combination of hardware will vary. At Lockmart, we offer expert advice and installation tailored to:

  • Homes and apartments
  • Commercial premises
  • Warehouses and storage units
  • Strata buildings and shared access properties
  • Schools & Universities 

Whether you’re after a strong deadbolt, a digital keypad, or a full smart lock system, we’ll help you choose the right option for long-term security and compliance.


Let's Secure It, Before It's Too Late

All too often, security only becomes a priority after the damage is done. But by then, the stress, disruption, and potential financial loss have already taken their toll. At Lockmart, we believe prevention is always better than cure. Taking the time now to upgrade your locks and improve your entry security can help you avoid insurance claims, safeguard your assets, and give you peace of mind — knowing your home or business is properly protected. Don’t wait for a break-in to realise what could have been done. Secure it now, and rest easy later.
