How much does a lock change cost in Shrewsbury?

From £89 for a single euro cylinder swap, up to £189 for a full BS3621 mortice and anti-snap cylinder fit. Most jobs land between £119 and £159 including the new lock.

Do you fit British Standard locks on insurance jobs?

Yes. BS3621 mortice deadlocks and TS007 3-star anti-snap cylinders are what most insurers ask for on SY postcodes. We carry both as stock items in the van.

We've got the original Victorian doors. Can we keep them?

Almost always. Modern mortice locks fit standard chases without resizing the door. Keeping period doors is the cheaper and better-looking option.

How long does the work take?

A single cylinder takes around 20 minutes. A full mortice change runs 45 minutes to an hour. A whole house, multiple doors and matching keys, fits inside a morning.

Will all my new locks open with one key?

Yes if you ask for keyed-alike. We bring blank cylinders and pin them on site so front, back, and side doors share a single key.

Do you change locks on rentals or HMOs in Shrewsbury?

Yes, regular work for landlords across SY1 and SY2. Tenant changeovers, post-eviction lock-outs, master-keyed systems for student houses near the college.

What if I just want a rekey, not a full new lock?

On euro cylinders rekeying costs roughly the same as a fresh cylinder, so we usually fit new. On older mortices we can repin the existing lock if the body is sound. Cheaper for you.
