How much for a lock change in Blackburn?

£89 to £189 fitted. Anti-snap euro cylinders are at the lower end, BS3621 five-lever mortice locks for older Victorian doors are higher.

Can it be done the same day I call?

Yes, almost every time. Cylinders, mortice locks, and multipoint kits are stocked on every van so most BB1 and BB2 jobs finish on the first visit.

Will the new lock satisfy my insurance?

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 end terrace, should I change all the locks?

Strongly recommended. You have no idea how many copies of the old keys are floating around. A full house change on a typical Blackburn terrace runs two to three hours.

Can multiple doors share one key?

Yes, key-alike means front, back, and side doors all open with the same key. Useful in a tightly packed terrace where you want one less thing to remember.

Will modern locks work on an old wooden mill terrace door?

Yes, modern five-lever sash locks fit the same mortice pocket as the originals in most cases. We sometimes need to deepen the pocket slightly, takes ten minutes.

Do you fit smart locks?

Yes, Yale, Ultion Nuki, and similar are standard fits. The door has to be in solid shape first though, a smart lock will not fix a worn or warped wooden frame.

What Our Customers Say

Moved into a Victorian mill terrace in Accrington, every lock was different vintage and most barely worked. Got everything keyed alike for £169 in one visit.

Andrew C. Lock change
Forced entry on our flat in Darwen overnight. Boarded by the time I got home from work, full repair next morning, two new anti-snap cylinders fitted. Insurer paid in full.

Hannah B. Burglary repair
Locked out of our terrace off Whalley Range at 11pm. Engineer was on the doorstep in BB1 within 22 minutes, opened it without damage. £69 by card.

James R. Emergency lockout
Engineer came out from Clitheroe at 23:40 when we couldn't get into the house. Older wooden frame on the back door, opened cleanly with no marks. Twenty minutes from call to inside.
