Frequently Asked Questions — Twickenham
-
How much does a lock change in Twickenham cost?
A standard cylinder swap with a Brisant or Avocet anti-snap fitted starts at £89. BS3621 mortice supply and fit is £119 to £159. Banham-grade upgrades push higher because of the brand premium.
-
Should I upgrade my front door lock on a Victorian villa?
If the cylinder is more than fifteen years old, or doesn't carry the three-star kitemark, an upgrade is worthwhile. Period villas in TW often retain their original mortices, which we can keep alongside a new euro cylinder.
-
What is a three-star anti-snap cylinder?
A cylinder rated to TS007 three-star, designed to resist snapping, picking, drilling and bumping. Brisant Ultion and Avocet ABS are the brands we carry on the van.
-
Can all the locks be keyed alike across the house?
Yes. We rekey or supply matched cylinders for front, back, side and garage doors. Useful for a household of four or for landlords with multiple Twickenham rentals.
-
Do you fit Banham locks?
Yes. Banham M2002 and L2002 deadlocks are common in TW high-value period stock and we fit and key them like any other patented system.
-
How long does a single cylinder change take?
20 to 30 minutes once we have the door open. A full mortice swap is 40 to 60 minutes.
-
Will the new lock damage my Victorian door?
We fit to the existing morticing wherever possible. If a different lock pattern requires enlarging the cut-out, we tell you up front before any cutting starts.
