Frequently Asked Questions — Tonbridge
-
When should I 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 a Tonbridge lock change cost?
£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 semis around central Tonbridge where original euros snap easily. 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 publicly take a few extra days to set up.
-
Will period doors get damaged?
No. Original Victorian and Edwardian doors common across Tonbridge 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 the door be used?
Right away. Within minutes of fitting we test the key, the handle action, and the multipoint engagement before leaving site.
Have a different question? Just call.
