Frequently Asked Questions — Hereford
-
When is a lock change the right call?
After moving in, after a break-in attempt, or any time keys are unaccounted for. Hereford's older Victorian and Edwardian stock often has worn morticings overdue for replacement.
-
How much 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 brass handles stay?
Yes where possible. Modern lock cases fit behind original Victorian handles and escutcheons, preserving the look of period 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 all doors share one key?
Yes. Key-alike cylinders are inexpensive when fitted at the same time, useful when multiple keys came with a property purchase.
-
Do you do agricultural and outbuilding lock changes?
Yes. Padlocks, hasps, security cylinders for barns and farm offices are part of the routine workload across rural HR addresses.
-
Spare keys included?
Three keys with each new cylinder. Extras around £6 each.
