How much does a lock change cost in Norwich?

From £89 for a standard Yale-type cylinder up to £189 for BS3621 mortice locks. Anti-snap upgrades add £30 to £60. Quoted on the call before arrival.

How quickly can you change locks in NR postcodes?

Same day in most cases. Booked before noon usually means done by late afternoon. Older Norwich cottages and terraces with rare lock types sometimes need 24 hours if the cylinder isn't a standard size.

Do you fit insurance-approved locks?

Yes, BS3621 deadlocks and SS312 Diamond cylinders are stock items. Mention your insurer's spec when booking.

Should I change all locks or just one?

Depends why. Lost keys means everything keyed alike. Moving in or post-tenant, front and back usually enough. Post-burglary, every external door and window lock should be considered.

What is anti-snap and do I need it?

Anti-snap cylinders have a sacrificial section that breaks off if attacked, leaving the working part intact. Worth fitting on NR postcode properties with the older flush-fit cylinder type.

Can you keep my existing keys working?

Swapping cylinders means new keys, usually three per lock. If you want everything keyed alike, say so on the call. Slight extra cost but useful across multiple doors.

Do you take old locks away?

Yes, recycled unless you want them back. Some people keep them as backup for outbuildings.

What Our Customers Say

After my marriage ended I changed every lock. Five doors in the family home, done in under three hours. Quiet about it, no awkward small talk.

Naomi F. Lock change
Just moved into a rented flat near the Cathedral and the previous tenant had a missing set of keys. Three locks changed inside two hours. Quoted price matched the invoice exactly.

Rachel P. Lock change
Conservatory door's multipoint had been complaining for ages. Finally went last weekend. Heavy-duty replacement now sitting in the door, locks properly first time every time.

Richard B. uPVC door repair
Snapped my house key clean in the front door. Half wedged inside. Engineer pulled both bits out, cut me a fresh key from the broken pieces. £40, twenty minutes.
