Your front door is one of the most important security points in your home. A quality deadlatch should provide strong protection against forced entry while remaining practical and safe for everyday use. The Lockwood 001 Double Cylinder Deadlatch has long been a trusted choice for Australian homes because it combines robust construction, convenient operation and carefully designed safety features.
Strong protection against forced entry
The Lockwood 001 uses a cut-resistant stainless steel bolt, 11 concealed anchorage points and a door-frame strengthener. Together, these features help reinforce both the lock and the surrounding frame, making the door more resistant to common forced-entry attacks.
Pick and bump resistance
Lockwood’s Kinetic Defence® technology is designed to resist lock picking and lock bumping. This provides an additional layer of protection beyond the physical strength of the bolt and lock body.
Clear lock-status indication
The patented LockAlert® indicator lets you see the lock’s operating mode at a glance:
- Secure Mode: locked from both inside and outside.
- Safety Mode: locked from outside while allowing free exit from inside.
- Passage Mode: free entry and exit when locking is not required.
This visual indication removes uncertainty and makes it easier to confirm how the door is currently secured.
Safer everyday operation
The SafetyRelease™ feature automatically releases the internal knob after entry, helping reduce the risk of someone accidentally being locked inside. Safety Mode also allows occupants to leave without using a key, which can be particularly useful when the home is occupied.
Convenient for busy households
The hold-back function allows the door to operate in passage mode when repeated access is needed, such as while carrying groceries, entertaining guests or working around the home. The lock is available with either an internal knob or lever to suit different preferences and accessibility needs.
Built for Australian homes
The Lockwood 001 is designed in Australia and conforms to the security and durability requirements of Australian Standard AS4145.2-2008, with a rating of SL7D8C6. It is suitable for many 30–45 mm timber-framed doors and can often replace an existing Lockwood 001 deadlatch.
Keyed alike convenience
The lock includes two keys and can be keyed alike to compatible Lockwood locks. This can reduce the number of keys on your keyring and make access around your home simpler.
Is the Lockwood 001 right for your door?
The best lock depends on your door construction, frame condition, household needs and preferred method of operation. Correct installation and frame reinforcement are essential to achieving the security benefits of any deadlatch.
