    Your front door is common property.  You can’t change common property without permission either by application to the OC or contained in a by-law.

    The Act doesn’t say anything about locks specifically so you have to assume they come under this section

     

    Part 4 Property management

    111 Work by owners of lots affecting common property
    An owner of a lot in a strata scheme must not carry out work on the common propertyunless the owner is authorised to do so:
    (a) under this Part, or
    (b) under a by-law made under this Part or a common property rights by-law, or
    (c) by an approval of the owners corporation
