What does a lock change cost in Taunton?

An anti-snap euro cylinder fitted is £88 to £129. A five-lever BS3621 mortice on one of the older wooden doors around the town centre and Wilton runs £119 to £169 with parts and labour.

Will the new locks satisfy my home insurer?

Yes. We fit BS3621 mortice deadlocks on timber doors and Sold Secure SS312 Diamond cylinders on uPVC, which is what UK insurers expect. Handy for the older stock in TA1 that often has locks predating current standards.

Do you upgrade cylinders to anti-snap?

Very common request in Taunton. The 1990s and 2000s uPVC doors on estates like Comeytrowe and Priorswood often still have the original snappable cylinder. A Sold Secure anti-snap swap is £69 to £99 fitted and takes about twenty minutes.

Can one key work all my doors?

Yes, key-alike cylinders let the front, back and side doors share a single key. Saves juggling three keys, which the newer Monkton Heathfield and Staplegrove houses often come fitted with from the developer.

How long does a routine lock change take?

Around twenty to thirty minutes for a euro cylinder. Closer to forty-five minutes for a mortice on an older Bishop's Hull or town-centre door where the timber has swollen with the Somerset damp and needs easing.

Do you fit locks on wooden doors that have swollen shut?

Yes. Damp in the Vale swells timber doors and they bind against the frame, which stops mortice locks throwing cleanly. We ease the door, adjust the keep and fit the lock so it works year round rather than just in dry spells.

What warranty comes with a new lock?

Twelve months on parts and labour. Sold Secure cylinders carry a longer manufacturer warranty on top of that.
