Frequently Asked Questions — Coventry
-
What does a lock change cost in Coventry?
Anti-snap euro cylinder £89 to £119. BS3621 mortice replacement £129 to £189. uPVC multipoint gearbox £149 upwards.
-
Should I upgrade a postwar Coventry semi to anti-snap cylinders?
If the property still has a basic euro cylinder, yes. Lock snapping is the most common forced-entry method on uPVC, and 3-star Kitemarked cylinders make it virtually impossible.
-
Can you change all the locks in one visit?
Yes. Most CV-area homes have two or three external doors. Whole-house lock change runs 60 to 90 minutes.
-
I'm a landlord, do you do tenant changeovers?
Yes, weekly across the Coventry area. Quick turnaround, invoiced direct to the agency or landlord, fresh keys cut on site.
-
Do I get spare keys with the new lock?
Two keys with every new cylinder or mortice as standard. Extras £6 each.
-
Will the new lock fit without damaging the door?
Standard sizes match existing fittings on most doors. Engineer measures before fitting to avoid surprises.
-
Is the lock guaranteed?
12 months parts and labour. Premium cylinders add 5 to 10 year manufacturer warranties.
