How much does a Luton lock change cost?

From £89 for a basic Yale-type cylinder up to £189 for an insurance-grade BS3621 mortice. Anti-snap cylinder upgrades sit at £30 to £60 on top depending on brand. Quoted before we leave the depot.

Same-day across LU postcodes?

Usually yes. Booked before noon, done by late afternoon. Older 1950s semis with non-standard mortice cases occasionally need a 24-hour wait if a particular size has to be ordered in.

Will the new locks satisfy my insurer?

If your policy specifies BS3621, that's what we fit on external doors by default. SS312 Diamond cylinders are also stocked. Mention the policy wording when you book and we'll match it.

Should I change every lock or just one?

Lost keys means changing every external lock that key opens. Moving into a new Luton rental, the front and back doors are usually enough. After a burglary, every external lock plus tested window locks.

Anti-snap cylinders, are they worth it?

Worth fitting on Victorian terraces and 1950s estate doors with the older flush-fit cylinders. Bedfordshire police data shows snap attacks recorded in parts of LU3 and LU4 over recent years. Anti-snap leaves the working portion intact even if attacked.

Can I have one key for every door?

Yes. Tell us at booking and we'll cylinder all your external doors so a single key works everywhere. Slightly more expensive than mixed cylinders but easier on a keyring.

Do you take old locks away?

Yes, unless you ask to keep them. Some folk hold onto old cylinders for outbuildings or sheds. Just tell the engineer at the start of the job.

What Our Customers Say

Splitting from my partner meant changing every external lock. Three doors, all keyed alike, two hours start to finish. Quiet about it which I appreciated.

Priya S. Lock change
New tenant moved into our rental near Wardown Park. Owner had no idea where the spare keys were. Got both door cylinders changed within three hours of ringing.

Sarah M. Lock change
uPVC back door wouldn't lift to lock. The gearbox had finally given up after about eighteen years. New multipoint mechanism in for £125.

David K. uPVC door repair
French doors in our garden room wouldn't lock all four points. Hinges had dropped and the keeps needed adjusting. Done in one visit for under £100.
