Frequently Asked Questions — Blackpool
-
When should I change my locks?
After moving in, losing keys, splitting up, ending a tenancy, or any time you don't know who has a working set. Also after 10 to 15 years on coastal properties where corrosion is heavier.
-
Do you fit BS3621 insurance-spec locks?
Yes, BS3621 five-lever mortice deadlocks are stocked on every van for wooden doors. For uPVC and composite, we fit TS007 three-star anti-snap cylinders that meet all major insurer requirements.
-
Will you match my existing brass or chrome fittings?
Most replacements use the existing handles and escutcheons. If you want new brass, satin chrome or black furniture, we carry common finishes on the van.
-
How much for a typical lock change in Blackpool?
Single euro cylinder swap from £89. Full BS3621 mortice fit on a wooden front door from £119 to £159. Multi-lock packages for landlords are quoted on inspection.
-
Are anti-snap cylinders worth the extra?
On any uPVC or composite door, yes. Snapping is the most common forced entry method on the Fylde. A three-star Sold Secure Diamond cylinder takes minutes longer to defeat than a budget unit.
-
Can you key several locks alike so I only carry one key?
Yes. Front, back, garage and even outbuilding locks can be supplied keyed alike at the time of fit. Useful in older Victorian boarding houses with multiple external doors.
-
How long does a lock change take?
Most single-cylinder jobs take 20 to 30 minutes. A new mortice on a wooden door, where chiselling is involved, is closer to 45 minutes.
