When should I change the locks on my Wrexham home?

After moving in, after losing keys, following a break-in, or when a lock is worn and stiff. A lot of our Wrexham lock changes are new movers on the estates and in the terraces who want to know no old keys are floating about. A lock change starts from £88.

Can you fit insurance-approved locks?

Yes. For the timber doors on the older Rhosddu and Acton terraces we fit BS3621 five-lever mortice deadlocks. For uPVC and composite doors on the estates and newer builds we fit TS007 anti-snap euro cylinders. Tell us your insurer's requirement and the right lock comes out with the engineer.

What is the difference between a cylinder swap and a full lock change?

On a uPVC door the cylinder is the barrel the key turns, and swapping it for an anti-snap one is quick and keeps the rest of the mechanism. A full change replaces the whole lock case, which is more common on timber doors. We advise which you actually need rather than selling the bigger job.

How long does a lock change take?

A single euro cylinder on a Caia Park uPVC door is often done in 30 minutes. A five-lever mortice on an older Wrexham terrace door takes longer, closer to 45 minutes to an hour if the timber needs a little work. If you want several doors done we will give you a time on the phone.

I have lost one key, do I need every lock changed?

Not always. If you have simply misplaced a key and are not worried it has fallen into the wrong hands, a spare cut is cheaper. If it went missing with anything showing your address, changing the affected lock is the safe call. We will lay out both options and the cost.

Can you match all my doors to one key?

Yes, we can key-alike your cylinders so front and back run off a single key, which suits the through terraces and the estate houses with a couple of external doors. It is worth mentioning when you book so we bring matching barrels.

Do you supply the locks or do I need to buy them?

We supply and fit, so you do not need to source anything. We carry BS3621 mortice locks and anti-snap cylinders in the common Wrexham door sizes on the van, in brands like Yale, Avocet and Union. If your door takes something unusual we will confirm the price first.

What Our Customers Say

Moved into a rental off the Mold Road and wanted the locks done before the first night. Changed both doors and keyed them to one key. £120 all in, exactly as quoted on the phone.

Daniel P. Lock change
Break-in through the back on our estate house, they had forced the uPVC door and wrecked the mechanism. Same day they made it secure and then fitted an anti-snap cylinder and new gearbox. £175 and explained everything.

Steven K. Burglary repair
Toddler had locked the bathroom door with herself inside. Panicking a bit. He talked me through it on the phone and still came out, opened it with no damage. Charged £50 and could not have been calmer.

Laura T. Emergency lockout
Snapped my key clean off in the front door lock heading out for work. He extracted both bits and cut a new one from the pieces there and then. £48 and I still made it in.
