    Hi Everyone,

    I recently purchased a new unit in sydney and I was advised by my conveyancer that I should change the entry lock before I move in since anyone might have the keys. I would like to know whether this is allowed under strata. Where can I look for this information whether it is permitted or not? If yes then, Does it have to look exactly as the previous lock or can I fix any lock as per my choice?

    Thanks

    Just get the barrel changed and then you will have new keys. No need for it to look any different.
