What services do you cover in Plymouth?

Lockouts, lock changes, uPVC door repairs, burglary repairs, key extractions and security upgrades. We work on the Victorian terraces, postwar estates and modern housing common across the city.

How much does a standard lock change cost?

Mortice and euro cylinder changes typically run £89 to £189 fitted, depending on whether you want a basic euro or a 3-star anti-snap to BS3621 standard. Quotes are given before any work starts.

Are your locks insurance approved?

Yes. We fit BS3621 5-lever mortice locks and 3-star Kitemarked anti-snap cylinders that meet the requirements of every UK home insurance policy we've seen.

Can you cut keys on site?

Vans carry blank stock for the most common UK profiles. If you've got a clean original key we can usually copy it on the doorstep.

Do you charge a callout fee on top of the work?

No. The quoted price is total. Parts, labour and travel within the PL area are included.

What if I'm a landlord with a property in Plymouth?

We deal with landlords daily across PL1 to PL9. Tenant changeovers, lost keys and after-hours emergencies are all handled with proper paperwork emailed afterwards.

Do you fit anti-snap cylinders?

Yes, on request and as standard for any door we judge vulnerable to cylinder snapping. They cost a few pounds more than basic euros and are the single biggest deterrent to forced entry.
