Frequently Asked Questions — Romford
-
Reasons to change locks?
Moving into a new home in Romford, lost or stolen keys, a relationship split, a worn old mortice that's stopped feeling secure, or upgrading after break-ins in your road. Common across RM's interwar housing stock.
-
Time required?
Single euro cylinder around 15 minutes. BS3621 mortice swap around 45 minutes. Whole-property change on a typical RM home finishes inside an hour.
-
Anti-snap?
On any front door visible from the street, yes. The 3-star Kitemarked cylinder defeats the snap-attack method that opens basic euros in seconds.
-
Insurance certificates?
Issued for every BS3621 mortice and 3-star anti-snap fitting. Emailed within the hour.
-
Keyed alike?
Yes. One key for front, back and side gate is straightforward and adds little to the cost.
-
Older Victorian doors?
Romford has fewer of these than central London but where they exist we work to the existing rebate without damaging original timber.
-
Combined handle and cylinder?
Yes, single visit. Typical £125 to £165 for a new handle and 3-star anti-snap cylinder fitted together.
