How much is a lock change in Leeds?

£89 for a single euro cylinder. £129 to £189 for a BS3621 5-lever mortice on a wooden door. Many Leeds back-to-backs and 1930s semis have 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 Leeds property is around £159 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 open the door.
