How much does a lock change cost in Truro?

A standard cylinder replacement starts at £89 with a Brisant or Avocet anti-snap fitted. Full BS3621 deadlock supply and fit runs £119 to £159 depending on the door and the brand chosen.

Should I upgrade my front door lock on a Georgian townhouse?

Heritage stock often has older mortices that no longer meet insurance standards. A BS3621 five-lever sash lock paired with a three-star euro cylinder is a sensible upgrade and keeps the period look intact.

Do you fit anti-snap cylinders?

Yes. We carry Brisant Ultion and Avocet ABS three-star cylinders on the van. Both resist snapping, picking and bumping, and come with a manufacturer guarantee.

Can all the locks be keyed alike?

Yes. If you want one key for every external door, we'll supply matched cylinders or rekey existing ones. Useful for landlords and holiday lets across the TR postcode.

How long does a lock change take?

A single cylinder swap takes 20 to 30 minutes. A full mortice deadlock replacement takes 40 to 60 minutes once we've measured up.

Will you remove the old lock cleanly?

Yes. We remove the old mechanism without damaging the door or frame, fit the new lock to the existing cut-outs, and only enlarge the morticing if you've chosen a different lock pattern.

Do new locks come with keys?

Two keys with a basic cylinder, three with anti-snap and patented systems like Ultion or ABS. Extra keys are cut on the van for £6 to £12 depending on the profile.
