Never Get Locked Out: A Guide to the Garage Key Override if power goes out
The Override system is a keyed lock cylinder installed through the face of your garage door. It is connected via a steel cable to the motor's manual release carriage. When you turn the key and pull the cylinder, it disengages the motor, allowing you to lift the door by hand.

Choosing High-Quality Fire Rated Leversets for Apartments

When it comes to apartment safety, fire-rated leversets are not optional — they’re essential. At Glebe Point Locksmiths, we regularly supply and install compliant, high-quality fire-rated door hardware designed to meet Australian Standards and body corporate requirements.

Why Fire Rated Leversets Matter in Apartments

Fire-rated leversets are specifically tested to withstand high temperatures for a set period of time, helping to slow the spread of fire and smoke. In apartment buildings, this can mean the difference between safe evacuation and serious risk.

Australian building codes require fire doors in apartments to be fitted with approved fire-rated hardware, including leversets, hinges, and closers. Using non-compliant hardware can void fire certification and expose owners and strata managers to serious liability.

What Makes a Good Fire Rated Leverset?

A quality fire-rated leverset should offer:

AS1905.1 fire compliance

Durable construction for high-traffic use

Smooth operation for easy egress

Compatibility with fire doors and closers

Options for keying alike or master key systems
