Frequently Asked Questions — Stoke On Trent
-
When is it sensible to change the locks?
After moving in, losing keys, splitting from a partner who had a set, or any forced-entry attempt. Worth doing too if the cylinder is over 15 years old and not anti-snap rated.
-
What does it cost in Stoke?
£89 to £189 per lock supplied and fitted, depending on whether you go with a basic euro cylinder or a TS007 3-star anti-snap. Multi-lock bookings drop the per-unit price.
-
Are anti-snap cylinders worth fitting?
Yes, especially on the older terraces around Burslem and Hanley where original euro cylinders are easily snapped. Sold Secure Diamond rated cylinders take seconds longer to fit but resist that attack pattern entirely.
-
How many keys come with a new lock?
Three as standard. More can be cut on the van for £4 to £8 each. Restricted-key systems (where blanks aren't sold to the public) take a few extra days to set up.
-
Will the door be damaged during the change?
No. Modern euro cylinders drop in and out cleanly when sized correctly. Period doors with original mortice locks take more care, but the woodwork stays intact.
-
Can multiple doors take the same key?
Keyed-alike installs are easy at the time of a lock change. Tell us at booking and the cylinders come pre-keyed. Useful if you have separate front, back, and garage doors.
-
How soon can I use the door?
Right away. Within minutes of fitting we test the key, the handle action, and the multipoint engagement before leaving site.

Attempted break-in on our ST6 property snapped the cylinder clean off. Engineer was on site within 25 minutes, fitted a TS007 3-star anti-snap and reinforced the keep. Insurer paid out without hassle.
-
Daughter slammed the door behind her in Longton with the key inside. Mid-afternoon callout, response in 22 minutes. £65 because it was a difficult deadbolt. No surprises.

Patio multipoint on the conservatory had been clicking for months and finally went. Mila gearbox replaced in around ninety minutes. Door slides like the day it was fitted.
