Frequently Asked Questions — Hereford

  • What does a lock change cost in Hereford?

    Anti-snap cylinder fitted is £89 to £129. A BS3621 mortice deadlock for an older Victorian or Edwardian wooden door runs £119 to £169 with parts and labour.

  • Will it satisfy my home insurer?

    Yes. We fit BS3621 mortice deadlocks on wooden doors and Sold Secure SS312 Diamond cylinders on uPVC. Both are insurer-approved.

  • Do you handle agricultural properties and outbuildings?

    Yes. Farm gates, barn doors, padlock replacements and high-security cylinders for rural HR properties are routine work.

  • Can the original brass furniture stay on a period door?

    Yes where possible. Modern lock cases fit behind original handles and escutcheons on Victorian and Edwardian doors common across central Hereford.

  • How long does the work take?

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

  • Can multiple doors share one key?

    Yes, key-alike cylinders are simple to fit at the same time and remove the need for multiple keys.

  • Is the work guaranteed?

    12 months on parts and labour. Sold Secure cylinders carry a longer manufacturer warranty.
