Frequently Asked Questions — Bolton

  • What services do you offer in Bolton?

    Lockouts, lock changes, uPVC and composite door repairs, key cutting, burglary repairs and BS3621 upgrades. Domestic and commercial work across all BL postcodes.

  • How much does a lock change cost?

    Anti-snap euro cylinders from £89 fitted. Full BS3621 mortice on a wooden door from £119 to £159 depending on the brand specified by your insurer.

  • Are Victorian terrace mortices still serviceable?

    Original mortices are often beautiful but the springs and levers wear out. We can refurbish or replace while keeping the original brass furniture so the door still looks period-correct.

    Standard cylinder and mortice keys cut on the van while you wait. Restricted or high-security keys may need 24 to 48 hours.

  • Can you do work for landlords across Bolton?

    Yes. We work with letting agents managing portfolios across BL1 to BL7. Account billing, written invoices and keyed-alike sets for managed properties.

    Phones answered 24 hours, every day. Engineers on call through the night for genuine emergencies. Pre-booked work scheduled at your convenience.

  • Do you fit smart locks and electronic locks?

    Yes, we install Yale, Ultion and Mul-T-Lock smart cylinders alongside conventional locks. We can advise on what's compatible with your existing door.

  • Back from holiday at midnight, kids asleep in the car, wrong keys in my pocket. 16 minutes from BL1 dispatch. Saved my life.
    Liam P. Emergency lockout
  • Old Yale on the back door of our Victorian terrace had finally given up. Wouldn't turn either way. New anti-snap cylinder fitted, £95.
    Lisa H. Lock change
  • Front door of our flat was kicked in over the weekend. Police called us about 4am, locksmith was there inside the hour with boards and a new cylinder. Permanent repair Monday.
    Beth A. Burglary repair
  • Snapped a tiny mortice key extracting it. Worried I'd need a whole new lock. Engineer used a pin extractor, then cut me a pair of replacements while I made a brew.
