When is it sensible to change the locks?

After moving in, losing keys, splitting from a partner with 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 Swindon?

£89 to £189 per lock supplied and fitted, depending on whether you choose 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 Victorian railway terraces around central Swindon where original euros snap easily. Sold Secure Diamond 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 publicly take a few extra days to set up.

Will period doors get damaged?

No. Original Victorian and Edwardian doors common in Old Town and the railway terraces take modern euro cylinders or rim cylinders cleanly without enlarging the existing hole.

Can the same key open multiple doors?

Keyed-alike installs are easy at the time of a lock change. Tell us at booking and the cylinders come pre-keyed. Useful for 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.

What Our Customers Say

Found a 35mm anti-snap cylinder for the unusual back door of a Victorian railway terrace which two other firms said wasn't possible. £109 fitted with a 12-month warranty.

Yvonne F. Lock change
Old cellar mortice on a Victorian railway terrace had rusted shut. Replaced for £109 and a fresh set of keys cut. Solid morning.

Russell B. Lock change
Front cylinder snapped off in the early hours, looked like a snap attack. Engineer reached our SN1 street in 22 minutes, fitted a 3-star anti-snap, secured the door. Got back to sleep.

Gemma U. Emergency lockout
Key broke off flush in the back gate cylinder on a wet Saturday. Extracted, regreased, new euro fitted in under 30 minutes. £79.
