Frequently Asked Questions — Halifax
-
When is a lock change the right call?
After moving in, after a break-in attempt, or any time keys are unaccounted for. Period stone terraces in HX1 and HX3 often need a fresh BS3621 anyway as old morticings wear out.
-
What does it cost?
£89 to £189 fitted depending on type. Anti-snap cylinders sit at the lower end, BS3621 mortice deadlocks at the upper end.
-
Can the original cast iron handles be retained?
Yes where possible. Modern lock cases fit behind original Victorian handles and escutcheons, preserving the look of older Pennine doors.
-
Will my home insurance stay valid?
Yes. We fit BS3621 on wooden doors and Sold Secure SS312 Diamond on uPVC as standard, both insurer-approved.
-
Can multiple doors share one key?
Yes, key-alike cylinders are inexpensive when fitted together. Common request when several keys came with a property purchase.
-
How long does the appointment take?
30 minutes for a euro swap, around an hour for a five-lever mortice on an older door. Single visit, parts on the van.
-
Do I get spare keys?
Three keys come with each new cylinder. Extras around £6 each, cut on the day where the cutter is on the van.
