Frequently Asked Questions — Wigan
-
Cost of a lock change in Wigan?
Cylinder swap with anti-snap from £89. BS3621 mortice supply and fit £109 to £159. Multi-lock keyed-alike sets bring the per-lock price down.
-
Mining-era terrace, what's recommended?
Most older WN terraces have brass mortices that no longer meet insurance standards. A BS3621 five-lever sash plus three-star euro cylinder is the standard upgrade.
-
All locks on one key?
Yes. Cylinders rekeyed or supplied matched for front, back, side and garage.
-
Anti-snap cylinders fitted?
Yes. Brisant Ultion and Avocet ABS three-star on the van. Both resist snapping, picking and bumping.
-
How long for a single cylinder change?
20 to 30 minutes. Full mortice swap is 40 to 60. Keyed-alike sets of three or four locks usually finish inside two hours.
-
Damage to my door?
We fit to existing morticing wherever possible. Different lock patterns sometimes need slight enlargement, which we discuss before any cutting.
-
Keys with a new lock?
Two with a basic cylinder. Three with anti-snap and patented systems. Extras cut on the van for £6 to £12.
