Frequently Asked Questions — Gloucester
-
When is a lock change the right call?
After moving in to a new home, after a break-in, or when keys can't be accounted for. With period stock common in Gloucester, sometimes the mechanism itself is just worn out and replacement is overdue.
-
What does it cost to change my locks?
£89 to £189 fitted depending on type. Anti-snap cylinders sit at the lower end, BS3621 mortice deadlocks at the higher end.
-
Can all my doors share one key?
Yes. Key-alike cylinders are inexpensive when fitted at the same time and save juggling multiple keys.
-
Will a new lock keep my insurance valid?
BS3621 on wooden doors and Sold Secure SS312 Diamond on uPVC are insurer-approved. Both fitted as standard.
-
How long does the appointment take?
30 minutes for a euro swap, around an hour for a five-lever mortice on a Victorian door. Single visit, parts on the van.
-
Can the original brass furniture stay?
Yes where possible. We fit modern lock cases that work with original handles and escutcheons on period doors.
-
Do I get spare keys with the new lock?
Three keys come with each new cylinder. Extra copies cost around £6 each, cut on the day where the cutter is available.
