$750 could or could not be unreasonable.
I take the view that reasonable security is “reasonably provided”. In my case, I installed the deadlocks my self ($100 + my labour each). For a locksmith it was $200 each so it may not be an unreasonable sum.
Make sure you get your own quote.

I have two flats at ground level that the tenant claims to have been broken in a couple of times. (Mind you, no bill for smashed door or broken lock came my way).
The tenants are asking for added security measures, and I have provided with security lights back and front and fenced off side access on both sides.
They have now asked for extra locks front and back (quote is $750) and screen doors (quote still to come).
Here comes the question, the flats have both normal locks, the same as all the other flats, is it my responsibility to provide with further locks and screen doors? If they ask to have grills on the windows what then?
Is there a standard response to this? All the other houses around do not seem to bother with any of that.“What you want in your life occasionally shows up…
