With shorter winter days bringing longer hours of darkness, ensuring your property is well-protected becomes increasingly important. At Hire A Hubby, our comprehensive approach to home security combines traditional solutions with modern innovations to create a secure environment for you and your loved ones. Our experienced team understands that effective security requires a multi-layered strategy tailored to your specific property and needs.
1. Comprehensive Door Security Upgrades
Your doors are the primary entry points to your home, making their security paramount. Over 30% of burglars enter through the front door, yet many homeowners overlook simple upgrades that can dramatically improve protection.
Signs your door security needs improvement:
- Visible wear on existing locks or door hardware
- Doors that don’t close tightly or have gaps around the frame
- Hollow core doors that offer minimal resistance to force
- Single-cylinder deadbolts that can be easily compromised
- Door frames that show signs of previous tampering attempts
- Lack of reinforcement around lock and hinge areas
Professional door security solutions include:
- Installation of high-quality deadbolts with hardened steel construction
- Door frame reinforcement using steel strike plates and longer screws
- Security screen door installation for added protection and ventilation
- Door viewer (peephole) installation for safe visitor identification
- Security chain or door bar installation for controlled access
- Replacement of hollow doors with solid wood or steel alternatives
Our Hubbies can upgrade your door security through various targeted improvements. We ensure proper fit and alignment for maximum security while maintaining easy operation for authorised users. These upgrades provide both physical protection and psychological deterrence against potential intruders.
👉 Call 1800 803 339 to discuss door security upgrades for your home.
2. Traditional Lock Replacement and Upgrades
Even without smart technology, high-quality traditional locks remain a fundamental security measure. Many homes still rely on outdated or worn locks that present easy targets for determined intruders.
Common lock vulnerabilities in Australian homes:
- Worn cylinder locks that are easier to pick or bypass
- Locks installed by previous owners or contractors with unknown key copies
- Mismatched lock types throughout the property
- Poor installation resulting in gaps or misalignment
- Lack of anti-bump or anti-pick mechanisms
- Inadequate protection on shed and gate access points
Our lock installation and replacement services:
- High-security cylinder locks with anti-pick and anti-bump features
- Complete lock replacement when moving into a new property
- Master key systems for convenient access while maintaining security
- Padlock installation on sheds, gates, and external structures
- Lock maintenance and repair to extend lifespan and reliability
Our Hubbies are experienced in installing and replacing a wide range of traditional locks. We recommend upgrading locks regularly, particularly after losing keys, following any security concerns, or when locks show signs of wear. Professional installation ensures your locks provide the protection you expect.

3. Window Security Enhancement Solutions
Windows are often the most vulnerable points in your home’s security perimeter. Approximately 23% of break-ins occur through windows, yet standard window latches offer minimal resistance to determined intruders.
Window security weak points to address:
- Standard window latches that provide minimal protection
- Ground-floor windows hidden from street view
- Rotted wooden frames that compromise structural integrity
- Glass that shatters easily upon impact
- Windows that cannot be secured while allowing ventilation
- Basement or side windows with no additional protection
Professional window security improvements:
- Security screen installation for protection without blocking airflow
- Window lock installation on sliding and casement windows
- Security film application to prevent glass shattering
- Wooden frame repair and reinforcement for structural integrity
- Sash jammer installation for added protection on older windows
- Decorative security grilles for vulnerable areas
Our team can implement numerous window security improvements that significantly increase the effort required for intrusion. We focus on solutions that provide protection without compromising on light, ventilation, or emergency exit requirements. These enhancements often deter potential burglars who seek easier targets.
👉 Call 1800 803 339 to discuss window security options for your property.
4. Wireless Smart Security Technology Integration

Benefits of modern security technology:
- Remote monitoring capabilities from anywhere using mobile devices

5. Perimeter Security: Gates and Fencing
Your property’s perimeter forms the first line of defence against potential intruders. A secure boundary creates both physical and psychological barriers while establishing clear property boundaries.
Common perimeter security issues:
- Damaged fence panels that signal property vulnerability
- Gates that don’t close properly or lack secure latching mechanisms
- Low fencing that provides minimal deterrent effect
- Gaps or weak sections that allow easy access
- Poor visibility from inside the property to monitor approaches
- Lack of privacy screening that prevents surveillance of your activities
Perimeter security improvement services:
- Fence panel repair and reinforcement to eliminate weak sections
- Gate hardware repair and replacement for reliable operation
- Fence height increases where regulations permit
- Self-closing mechanism installation for automatic gate security
- Privacy screen creation to prevent external observation
- Anti-climb features installation where appropriate
Our experienced team can assess, repair, and enhance your perimeter security without creating an unwelcoming fortress appearance. We focus on practical improvements that establish secure boundaries while maintaining neighbourhood aesthetic standards.

6. Secure Key Storage Solutions
Secure key storage provides convenient access solutions without compromising security. Many households struggle with lost keys or emergency access needs while avoiding the security risks of hiding keys in obvious places.
Key storage security challenges:
- Emergency access needed for family members or service providers
- Lost or forgotten keys creating inconvenient lockout situations
- Hidden keys under mats or planters creating serious security vulnerabilities
- Multiple family members requiring independent access
- Service provider access needed when residents are unavailable
- Previous hiding spots that may be known to unauthorised individuals

Our Hubbies can professionally install key safes that provide secure storage while maintaining convenient access for authorised users. We select locations that offer both functionality and discretion to prevent drawing unwanted attention.

7. Security Deterrents and Visual Warnings
Sometimes the simplest security measures prove remarkably effective. Strategic security signage and deterrent features can reduce break-in attempts significantly by creating the perception of comprehensive protection.
Psychological deterrent benefits:
- Security signage can reduce break-in attempts by up to 60%
- Visible security measures encourage intruders to seek easier targets
- Cost-effective deterrents complement more sophisticated security systems

Our Hubbies can install various security deterrents around your property that significantly increase the perceived risk for potential intruders. These simple but effective measures often cause criminals to seek easier targets elsewhere.
