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.

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.

What Our Customers Say
-
Back from holiday at midnight, kids asleep in the car, wrong keys in my pocket. 16 minutes from BL1 dispatch. Saved my life.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
