Frequently Asked Questions — City Of London
-
What does a lock change cost in the City of London?
Anti-snap euro cylinder £89 to £119. BS3621 mortice replacement £129 to £189. High-security cylinders (Banham, Mul-T-Lock, Ultion) £179 to £249 fitted.
-
Can you replace a Banham cylinder same-day?
Yes. EC-area vans carry Banham M2002 stock plus Mul-T-Lock and Ingersoll alternatives.
-
We've had staff changes, do we need a rekey?
If departing staff held physical keys to commercial premises, yes. Rekeying replaces just the pin set inside the existing cylinder, cheaper than a full lock change.
-
Do you do master key systems for new fit-outs?
Yes, weekly across the City. Restricted profiles, custom hierarchies, free survey and quote on commercial work.
-
Can the period look of a residential conversion be preserved?
Yes. Slim-bodied 3-star cylinders fit inside original brass escutcheons. BS3621 mortice locks slot into existing pockets without altering the door.
-
How quickly can a lock change be done?
Single cylinder, 15 to 20 minutes. Whole suite or multi-door commercial job, 60 minutes to a few hours.
-
What's the guarantee?
12 months parts and labour. Premium cylinders add 5 to 10 year manufacturer warranties separately.

-
Mansion conversion in EC1, original 1890s mortice that finally seized. Drilled cleanly, replaced with a BS3621, kept the period escutcheon. Tidy job.
-
Banham deadlock had stopped turning on our office door. Engineer recognised it straight away, brought the right cylinder, sorted in 40 minutes. Tidy work.
-
Locked out at 5am with an early flight. Got someone there in 22 minutes, picked the lock, made my flight. Standard out-of-hours rate, no surprise charges.
-
Key snapped in our shutters lock just before opening on a Saturday. Engineer there in 16 minutes, extracted, cut a fresh one, we opened on time. Saved a chunk of trade.
