Frequently Asked Questions — Kingston
-
How much is a lock change in Kingston?
£89 for a single euro cylinder swap. £129 to £189 for a BS3621 5-lever mortice on a wooden door. Edwardian properties in KT1 often need both a mortice and a night latch, in which case a combined price covers both.
-
Should the locks be changed after moving in?
Yes. Previous owners, tenants, cleaners and tradespeople may all have copies. A complete change on a typical Kingston property is around £169 with anti-snap cylinders front and back.
-
Are 3-star anti-snap cylinders worth fitting?
Yes. A standard cylinder can be snapped in under a minute. The 3-star kitemark closes that route entirely. Recommended for any uPVC or composite door.
-
When can the change happen?
Same day in nearly every case. Engineers carry common cylinder sizes and mortice profiles, so most changes finish within 60 minutes of arrival.
-
Will my insurance still be valid?
Yes, if the new lock is BS3621 stamped on a wooden door or 3-star kitemarked on uPVC. The standard is recorded on the invoice.
-
Can both doors share a single key?
Yes. Cylinders can be keyed alike so one key works front and back. Total cost is roughly the same as fitting two unmatched cylinders.
-
Lost keys, do I need a full change?
If anything identifying the address was attached, yes. A new anti-snap cylinder from £89 is the simplest way to be certain old keys cannot be used.
