Frequently Asked Questions — Birmingham
-
What does a lock change cost in Birmingham?
£89 to £189 fitted, depending on the lock type. Anti-snap euro cylinders sit at the lower end, BS3621 five-lever mortice locks are higher.
-
Can it be done the same day?
Yes, almost every time. We carry the standard cylinders, mortice locks, and multipoint kits on the van, so most jobs across the B postcodes finish in one visit.
-
Will the new locks pass my insurance check?
Yes. We fit BS3621 and kitemarked anti-snap as standard. Tell us your insurer's exact wording and we match it before fitting.
-
Just bought an Edwardian semi, do I need all the locks changed?
Sensible to do it. You have no record of who has copies of the old keys. A full house change on a typical Birmingham semi runs three to four hours.
-
Can multiple doors share one key?
Yes, key-alike means front, back, and side doors all use the same key. Useful in larger properties or commercial premises with several entry points.
-
What about the older locks on 1960s estate doors?
Most of those locks are well past their working life. We replace with modern anti-snap cylinders that fit the existing door without modification.
-
Do you fit smart locks?
Yes, Yale, Ultion Nuki, and similar are standard fits. Worth knowing the door has to be in decent shape first, a smart lock will not fix a sagging multipoint.
Have a different question? Just call.
