Crime Statistics Agency Victoria and Victoria Police, year ending March 2026; Australian Institute of Criminology.
Five ways in. We close all five.
On most Melbourne homes at least two of these aren’t doing much. Those two decide whether someone stops at your place or keeps walking.
What we fit, and what it costs.
Parts, fitting and a 12-month warranty in the price you see. The more we do in one visit, the less each item costs.
Stop the easy entries
Door and window locks
Locks and bolts that let the air in and keep people out: sliding doors, windows, and the door from the garage. Quality locks like Lockwood included.
Security screen doors
Locks like a gate, so you can leave the door open on a warm night. Measured on the visit, made to order, 14 colours.
Window security screens
A flyscreen stops flies, not people. Security mesh in a locking frame, made to measure. Plain fly screens too.
Close the quiet ways in
Side gates
The quietest way to your back door, out of sight of the street. Keyed latches, drop bolts or keyless code locks.
Anti-climb fence spikes
Galvanised Australian steel, screw-fixed to the fence you already have, warning signage included. Price yourself on the spikes page.
Timber fence toppers
A low fence is an invitation. Toppers matched to your fence raise it without replacing it.
Sensor floodlights
Nothing sends someone off faster than being lit up. Over dark paths, driveways and blind spots, fitted by a licensed electrician.
Security cameras
Dahua kit, two wired cameras and a recorder with 2 TB of storage, installed by our licensed partner. We’ll tell you straight if cameras won’t help.
Finish the job in one visit
Meter box lock
One flick of the main switch kills your alarm, cameras and lights. A VPI keyed lock means only you and your power company get in.
Vehicle theft deterrent pack
Keyless and OBD-port car theft is rife across Melbourne. OBD lock, steering lock, plate screws and two key pouches, fitted in your driveway.
Battery backup (UPS)
Pull the main switch and most set-ups go dark. A battery backup keeps cameras recording and the alarm online. We tell you the real runtime first.
Sheds, mailboxes and safes
Heavy-duty steel sheds so tools stop being their tools. Lockable mail and parcel boxes. Fireproof safes for what no insurer can replace.
Lock-up bundles: any 3 items $395, any 5 items $595, any 7 items $745.Standard work is paid on completion. Made-to-order items are confirmed with a 50% deposit, balance when the job’s done. Travel is included within 25 km of Scoresby; further out, $45 travel is shown on your quote.
I’m Keith. I’ll be the one who turns up.
I look after residential property across Melbourne, my own and my family’s, so I’ve spent years at the unglamorous end of it: the doors that never sat right, the locks fitted badly the first time, the side gate everyone forgot about. Before that I was an auditor, paid to find the weak points everyone else had signed off on.
What I kept seeing was people sold alarms and cameras while the simple physical gaps stayed open. A monitored system doesn’t help if the side gate still opens with a shove. So Safehaus does the boring half properly, and never sells more of it than a house needs.
“If your place is already solid, I’ll tell you that, and shake your hand.”
Recent jobs, in the owners’ words.
Safehaus installed security/possum fence deterrents at our property. Good communication, neat work, and the place feels more secure.
We bought a security flyscreen for our laundry window and an anti-theft pack on the car – great to finally have them sorted and feel a bit safer.
Quality work. Good value. Easy to deal with. Sent mocked up pictures of options prior - very helpful. Now we will paint it and it will look great too.

Three steps, and it’s off your list.

We price it at your door
Fifteen minutes, no cost, no obligation. The options in plain English and one itemised quote in writing before we drive off.
The work gets done
Say yes and most hardware goes on the same visit or the next one. Made-to-measure items are ordered in and fitted on a day that suits you.
Your free 15-minute Doorstep Security Check
Keith comes to you, checks that what you’ve already got is doing its job, measures anything you’d like priced, and leaves you with an itemised quote in writing. Nothing is ordered, booked or fitted unless you say so.
Often booked by adult children for their parents’ place, or by owners about to head away.

What you walk away with
- A fixed price on everything you asked about, itemised, in writing, before we leave the driveway
- Good and better, both priced, so you pick the level, not us
- The honest no: if a job isn’t worth your money, or you could do it yourself, we say so
- Yours to sit on: no pressure, no fake urgency, no follow-up calls
Before you book
Is the Doorstep Security Check really free?
Yes. No call-out fee and no obligation. We measure and quote; if you’d like the work done, we book it in. If not, the quote is yours to keep.
How long does it take, and do I need to be home?
About 15 minutes. It helps if you’re home so we can measure gates, the garage and anything else you’d like priced, but much of it can be measured from outside. Tell us your situation when you book.
If I go ahead, what will it cost?
Every item is priced up front at the rates on this page: single fixes from $195 fitted, bundles from $395. Standard work is paid on completion; made-to-order items are confirmed with a 50% deposit, balance when the job’s done. If a job’s simple enough to do yourself, we’ll say so.
Can I lock my electricity meter box in Victoria?
Yes, with the right lock. Victoria’s electricity distributors approve VPI keyed locks: they open with your key and the distributor’s master key, so meter readers and crews are never locked out. An ordinary padlock isn’t suitable. $295 fitted to an existing clasp, $365 with a new clasp. On homes built before 1990 we don’t drill the meter board backing panel, as older panels can contain asbestos. Full details.
Who’s coming into my home?
Keith, personally, on every visit. National Police Check, public liability insured, local. You deal with the owner from the first call to the final invoice: no rotating crew, no commissioned salesman, no pressure on the day. Where licensed work is needed we introduce the trade and stay your point of contact.
Do you do the work yourselves?
Most of it. Safehaus fits the fence toppers and anti-climb work and all surface-fixed hardware: patio bolts, window locks, gate hardware, vehicle deterrents, mailboxes and meter box locks. Sheds and made-to-order items are installed on a booked return. Regulated work goes to licensed trades: locksmiths for deadbolts and keyed cylinders, licensed electricians for hardwired lighting. They invoice you direct for their part.
Can I book it for my parents, a rental, or while I’m away?
Yes. Many checks are booked by adult children for elderly parents, by landlords for rentals, or by people heading off on holiday. Give us the address and who to coordinate with, and make sure the owner or occupier knows we’re coming. For parents’ homes we can also fit a key safe.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Safehaus warrants its own workmanship for 12 months from completion. Manufacturer warranties on supplied products are passed on with the paperwork. This is in addition to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law. Full terms on our terms of service page.
