How much does a southwest London lock change cost?

Single euro cylinder swap from £89. Anti-snap upgrade £119 to £149. Full BS3621 mortice on a timber door £159 to £189.

Lock-snapping common in SW?

Yes, the most common forced entry on uPVC and composite doors. A TS007 3-star anti-snap cylinder defeats the technique. £119 buys substantial protection.

Will the original brass furniture be saved on a period door?

Almost always. We replace the lock body inside the door and reuse handles, escutcheons, and knockers. Period look stays intact.

Conversion flat with multiple doors, can you sort all of them?

Yes. Communal main door, flat door, balcony door. SW conversions often have all three. Keyed-alike sets keep the key ring small.

BS3621 on timber and TS007 3-star on uPVC are the standard policy specifications. We label the invoice with the standard so claims are straightforward.

How long is the engineer with me?

Single cylinder, around 20 minutes. Mortice change, 45 to 60. Whole flat or house with matched keys, around two hours.

What happens to the old locks?

We take them away unless you'd rather keep them. Old cylinders go for metal recycling.
