Frequently Asked Questions — Wakefield
-
How much for a lock change in Wakefield?
Cylinder swap with anti-snap from £89. BS3621 mortice supply and fit £109 to £159 depending on the brand. Multi-lock keyed-alike sets bring the per-lock price down a touch.
-
What about an older Victorian terrace?
Most older terraces in WF have brass mortices that no longer meet insurance standards. A BS3621 five-lever sash lock plus a three-star euro cylinder is the standard upgrade.
-
Can I have all locks on one key?
Yes. Cylinders rekeyed or supplied matched for front, back, side and garage. Useful for landlords and a household with multiple users.
-
Do you fit anti-snap cylinders?
Yes. Brisant Ultion and Avocet ABS three-star cylinders on the van. Both resist snapping, picking and bumping with manufacturer guarantees.
-
How long for a single cylinder change?
20 to 30 minutes. A full mortice swap is 40 to 60. Keyed-alike sets of three or four locks finish inside two hours.
-
Will the new lock damage my door?
We fit to the existing morticing wherever possible. Different lock patterns sometimes need slight enlargement, which we discuss before any cutting.
-
How many keys come with a new lock?
Two with a basic cylinder. Three with anti-snap and patented systems. Extra keys cut on the van for £6 to £12.
