Frequently Asked Questions — Hemel Hempstead

  • What does a lock change cost in Hemel Hempstead?

    Anti-snap cylinder fitted is £89 to £129. Sold Secure SS312 Diamond cylinders for the uPVC frames common across HP postcodes are £109 to £149 fitted.

  • Will the new lock satisfy my home insurer?

    Yes. Sold Secure SS312 Diamond on uPVC and BS3621 mortice deadlocks on wooden doors are insurer-approved across UK policies.

  • Are higher-security upgrades like Ultion worth it?

    Often yes. New-town housing has a lot of older Mila and Avocet cylinders that are easy targets for snapping. Brisant Ultion cylinders add anti-snap, anti-bump and anti-pick at modest extra cost.

  • Do you do commercial work locally?

    Yes. Shopfront cylinders, panic bars, master-key suites for offices around the Maylands business park.

  • How long does the work take?

    30 minutes for a euro cylinder, around an hour for a five-lever mortice on an older wooden door.

  • Can multiple doors share one key?

    Yes, key-alike cylinders are common given that many new-town builds came with three different keys originally.

  • Is the work guaranteed?

    12 months on parts and labour. Sold Secure cylinders carry an additional manufacturer warranty.
