Security Screen Door Locks Built to Secure Entry Points

Keyed, digital, and smart screen door locks are made to suit steel and aluminium frames. Each lock is chosen for strength, durability, and user access needs.

Ambassador Locksmiths supplies and installs lock types that match most hinged screen doors used across homes and small businesses.

Lock Types That Match Your Door

Not every lock fits every screen door. The locks we supply are built for security screens and narrow stiles that other hardware may not suit. These options are tested, supported, and installed across new and existing doors:

Keyed Cylinder Locks

These are mechanical locks with internal latch function. Options include single and double cylinder versions, depending on how the door is accessed. Most include privacy snibs or turn knobs for internal locking.

Digital Push Locks

This option removes the need for keys. Users enter a PIN to unlock. These locks support code changes and are suitable for frequent shared access or keyless entry convenience.

Smart Access Locks

Smart locks are controlled with mobile apps or keypads. Most offer guest access, auto-lock timers, override keys, and integration with smart home systems. These suit users who need better control without handling physical keys.

Deadlocks and Deadlatches

Deadlocks use a fixed bolt that cannot retract without a key. These are used where additional force resistance is needed or where doors require added protection overnight or while away from the property.

Which Screen Doors These Locks Fit

We supply locks suited to most hinged security screen doors. These are compatible with standard frame types used across residential and small commercial properties.

  • Aluminium and steel screen door frames
  • Screen doors manufactured to Australian standards
  • Door frames with pre-cut lock holes matching standard spacing
  • New screen doors fitted with stainless mesh or perforated steel inserts
  • Reinforced doors with slimline stiles and central rail structures

If your existing door has alignment issues or a non-standard setup, we can inspect and recommend a lock that fits without compromising performance.

Features That Make These Locks Practical

These locks are selected based on how they handle exposure, daily use, and door movement. Key features include:

Strong internal bolt mechanisms

Powder coated or stainless surfaces that resist corrosion

Adjustable strike plates to suit timber or metal door frames

Locking systems that work on narrow profiles

Internal latches or snibs on most mechanical models

Smart lock features such as auto lock timers and unlock alerts

Override options on most digital and smart models

Every lock includes a user manual and spacer kits if needed.

How Smart Locks Work on Security Screen Doors

Smart locks use phone apps, keypads, or remote triggers to allow or restrict entry. These models are designed for narrow frames and exposed outdoor use. Features include:

Lock and unlock using mobile apps or PIN

Auto locking after a delay or specific time

Temporary codes that expire after use

Logs showing when the door was opened or closed

Manual key override in case of battery failure

Compatibility with Wi-Fi hubs or smart systems on selected models

We confirm all settings during install and help with app setup if required.

What Comes With Each Lock

When you order a lock through Ambassador Locksmiths, your kit includes:

  • Lock housing and bolt assembly
  • Faceplate and strike plate
  • Screws and mounting tools
  • Setup or programming manual
  • Reset tools or spare keys for smart models
  • Optional spacers or mounting support for narrow frames

Installation guides are also included, and our team can provide assistance if needed.

When These Locks Are Typically Installed

We install screen door locks when:

A lock no longer functions correctly

A tenant or keyholder changes

The door is being replaced or re-aligned

The existing lock does not meet insurance conditions

The owner wants to upgrade from keyed to keyless access

Screen doors are installed as part of a new entry setup

If you are unsure whether your door is ready for one of these locks, we can assess it before recommending a type.

Common Questions About These Locks

Do these locks meet security standards?

Yes. Locks supplied match door types built to AS 5039 and AS 5041 screen security standards.

Yes. We install customer-supplied locks as long as they are compatible with your door.

Yes. Matching key sets across doors is available if supported by the lock type.

Yes. Most smart locks offer offline unlocking using PINs and override keys.

That depends on wear and bolt condition. Our team inspects and advises on whether repair or replacement makes more sense.
