That's what 'serrurerie' normally means in this sort of context; in some context, it is 'precision metalwork', but 'precision' is always releative, and I don't think really applicable in the given context here in EN.

Note that the source text says: "3 tourelles de désenfumage ..., de leur armoire ... et de leur serrurerie annexe" — the two successive 'leur' clearly refer both items to the 'tourelles'; if the last item was related to the 'armoire', it would be 'sa...'
Again, this is one of those things that you wouldn't find in a dictionary — but real-life experience confirms that 'serrurerie' nowadays refers more often to 'general metalwork' than to merely locks and other door furniture.
Remember this dates back to the days when metlaworking would have been divided into 'ferronnerie' (what the blacksmith does) and 'serrurerie' (what the locksmith does) — cf. the distinction between 'menuiserie' and 'ébénisterie'.

: The 2 'leur' really implies it all relates to the 'tourelles', and I don't think they would be talking at this level of detail. 'Serrurerie' very commonly refers just to metalwork like brackets, supports, frames, etc.
