How much will a lock change cost me in Slough?

From £89 for a single euro cylinder swap. Around £119 to £149 for a 3-star anti-snap upgrade. £159 to £189 for a complete BS3621 mortice fit on a wooden door.

Do landlords usually change locks between tenants?

On SL postcodes most landlords now do, especially with high tenant turnover. We do plenty of changeover work across SL1 and SL2 and offer keyed-alike sets so the agent only carries one key per property.

What's an anti-snap cylinder and do I need one?

It's a TS007 3-star euro cylinder that resists the lock-snapping technique used by most opportunist break-ins. If your door is uPVC or composite with a euro cylinder, yes, you want one.

Will my insurer ask for a particular standard?

Most ask for BS3621 on timber doors and TS007 3-star on uPVC. Both come with us as stock. We label the invoice clearly so the policy paperwork is easy.

Can I keep one key for all the doors?

Yes, ask for keyed-alike at booking. We pin the cylinders on site so front, back, garage and side gate share one key.

How long does the work take?

Single cylinder swap, 20 minutes. Mortice deadlock change, around an hour. Whole house with multiple matched cylinders, two hours.

Will the engineer take the old locks away?

Yes, unless you want them kept. Old cylinders are crushed and recycled. Mortice locks tend to go in the metals skip.
