Frequently Asked Questions — Sheffield
-
When is a lock change worth doing?
Moving in, lost or stolen keys, a split with a partner, a worn old mortice that's stopped feeling secure, or an upgrade after break-ins on your road. Common reasons across Sheffield's mix of steel-era terraces and Edwardian semis.
-
Time required?
Single euro cylinder around 15 minutes. BS3621 mortice swap on an older Sheffield door around 45 minutes. Whole-property change on a typical S6 home finishes inside an hour.
-
Anti-snap or basic euro?
On any front door visible from the street, yes to anti-snap. The 3-star Kitemarked version defeats the snap-attack method that opens basic euros in seconds.
-
Insurance certificates included?
Yes. Issued for every BS3621 mortice and 3-star anti-snap fitting and emailed within the hour.
-
Keyed alike?
Yes, where the lock type allows. Front, back and side gate to one key is straightforward and adds little to the cost.
-
Older steel-era terrace doors?
We work to the existing rebate without chewing the timber. Sheffield has a lot of original housing and we treat it accordingly.
-
Combined uPVC handle and cylinder?
Yes, single visit. Typical £125 to £165 for a new handle and 3-star anti-snap cylinder fitted together.
