Frequently Asked Questions — Brighton
-
When should I change my locks in Brighton?
After moving in, losing keys, ending a tenancy, splitting up, or any incident where keys may be unaccounted for. Tall Regency conversions with original mortices benefit from a refresh after decades of use.
-
Do you fit BS3621 insurance-grade locks?
Yes. BS3621 five-lever mortice deadlocks for wooden doors, and TS007 three-star anti-snap cylinders for uPVC, composite and multipoint conversions.
-
Will you keep original Regency brass on a tall Brighton door?
Yes. We swap the internal mechanism while reusing original plates and escutcheons. The door looks identical from outside.
-
Typical lock change cost?
Single euro cylinder swap from £89. Full BS3621 mortice on a wooden door £119 to £189. Multi-lock packages quoted on inspection.
-
Are anti-snap cylinders worth fitting?
On any uPVC, composite or multipoint Regency conversion, yes. Snapping is the most common forced-entry method. A three-star Sold Secure Diamond cylinder takes far longer to defeat than a budget unit.
-
Multiple locks keyed alike?
Yes. Front, back and outbuilding locks can be keyed alike at the time of fit. Common request in Brunswick Town and Kemptown conversions.
-
How long does a lock change take?
Cylinder swap is 20 to 30 minutes. A new mortice fit on a wooden door is closer to 45.
