Frequently Asked Questions — Chester
-
What does a lock change cost in Chester?
Anti-snap euro cylinder £89 to £119. BS3621 mortice replacement £129 to £189. uPVC multipoint gearbox £149 upwards.
-
Should I upgrade an Edwardian semi to anti-snap cylinders?
If the property still has its original cylinder or a cheap replacement, yes. Lock snapping is the most common forced-entry method on uPVC and 3-star cylinders make it virtually impossible.
-
Can you change all locks in one visit?
Yes. Most CH-area homes have two or three external doors. Whole-house lock change runs 60 to 90 minutes.
-
I've moved into an older Chester property, what do you recommend?
Survey first. Engineer checks each external door, identifies any that fail BS3621, and quotes for replacements only where needed. No blanket upsell.
-
Do I get spare keys with the new lock?
Two keys with every new cylinder or mortice as standard. Extras £6 each cut on the van.
-
Will the new lock fit without damaging the door?
Standard sizes fit existing fittings on most doors. Engineer measures before fitting to confirm.
-
Is the lock guaranteed?
12 months parts and labour. Premium cylinders carry separate manufacturer warranties.

Tenant changeover at our rental near Mold. Two cylinders, six keys, invoice to the letting agent. Whole job done in 90 minutes.
-
Bought a new build in CH4, the developer's basic cylinders felt rubbish. Upgraded to anti-snap front and back. Engineer talked me through the rating without pushing.
-
Stranded outside my flat near the Rows after losing my keys at the racecourse. They got someone there in 24 minutes despite a busy Saturday night. £89 weekend rate, fair.
-
Locked out at 6am with a train to catch. Got someone there in 20 minutes, picked the lock, made my train. Charged the standard out-of-hours rate.
