Frequently Asked Questions — Carlisle
-
What does a lock change cost in Carlisle?
Euro cylinder anti-snap swap is £89 to £119. BS3621 mortice replacement on a wooden door is £129 to £189 depending on the brand. uPVC multipoint gearbox change starts at £149.
-
Should I upgrade to anti-snap cylinders?
Yes if your uPVC door still has the standard cylinder it came with. Lock snapping is the most common forced entry method on uPVC, and a 3-star Brisant or similar makes it virtually impossible.
-
Can you change all the locks in one visit?
Yes. Most CA-area homes have two or three external doors. A typical full house lock change takes 60 to 90 minutes.
-
I've moved into an old farmhouse with original locks, what do you recommend?
Older Cumbrian farmhouses often have low-grade mortices that fail insurance criteria. We replace with BS3621 5-lever mortice locks that meet every UK home insurance policy we've seen.
-
Do you cut spare keys at the same time?
Yes. Two keys come with every new cylinder or mortice as standard. Extra keys cut on site, £6 each.
-
Will the new lock match my existing handles?
In most cases yes. Cylinders are universal sizing. If you want matching brushed nickel or brass handles fitted at the same time, the engineer can quote on arrival.
-
Is there a guarantee on the new lock?
12 months on parts and labour. Manufacturer warranty on premium cylinders runs 5 to 10 years separately.

-
Old farmhouse near Penrith, ancient mortice that finally seized. They came out, drilled it, fitted a BS3621 replacement. Took about 40 minutes start to finish.
-
Front door cylinder was loose and rattling for months. Finally booked a lock change. New anti-snap unit, two keys cut on site, £89.
-
Stranded outside my own house with shopping melting in the bag. Quoted £55 over the phone, paid £55 when he opened it. No surprises.
-
Couldn't get the kids in after school. Front door just wouldn't budge. Picked the lock without damage and showed me the latch was sticking. £49 for the call out which was reasonable.
